What to do after applying for a job

The first step after sending an application is to register it. In Linkmeg, mark the role as applied, add the date and any notes about contact person or reference number. This gives you a complete picture when applying to many roles in parallel.

Most Norwegian employers respond within one to three weeks, but timelines vary. If you hear nothing after the stated deadline or two weeks after applying, a short, polite email may be appropriate. Reference the role and confirm you remain interested.
