FoOdIsLiFe-otay's journey

I applied for a cashier position at a local store over two weeks ago, along with several other applications, but I haven't received any communication back—no calls, texts, or emails. I'm starting to feel like I might be out of luck with this one. I've been considering reaching out to the hiring manager to ask for an update on my application status. I remember reading that during interviews, it's a good idea to ask when I can expect to hear back. If I don't receive a call by that date, I guess I would have to assume they moved on to other candidates. It's really tough being in this situation while actively searching for a job.
