    If you had the chance of a job that you would really love to get then to what extent would you follow up the employer? I have had very little correspondence with them but they did seem interested. I have emailed and rang but nothing

    They know you e-mailed and rang them.

    The balls in their court now.

    my exact argument but I'm told I should be more pressing

    If I wanted to hire you I would have responded to your e-mail...

    Maybe try sending them another e-mail one week after your previous one, but that's about it. As a manager I wouldn't want to hire someone who's being pushy or aggressive with me.

    I have had correspondence from them. They contacted me initially but took a while to respond to after I sent my CV. I want to seem keen but at the same time I don't want to annoy them

    Im in a similar position.
    I've seen a job that I really would like to get but I don't want to seem too keen. Im going to wait until after the closing date for applications passes before I follow up with them.
