I applied for a government position back in March, and the online status still says they are evaluating candidates. Yesterday, I decided to check on the status, so I called the office. The receptionist forwarded me to the supervisor, but unfortunately, the supervisor was out at the moment. I left a voicemail with my full name, spelled out my last name, my phone number, and mentioned that I was hoping to get an update on my application and whether they were still hiring. Now, I'm wondering how long I should wait before trying to reach out to the supervisor again. I understand it's a busy office, and I don't want to be a distraction, but I also want to stay proactive in my job search.
