When to follow-up on a job application?

[Jerhart]

Well...I am graduating form school in about a month and a half...hopefully.

This means time for job hunting...I know what a time to begin.

My question is this: How long should I wait before I followup on a position I have applied for? Do I even bother?

There is a position I applied for Wednesday of last week. I feel I am well qualified, probably over qualified for the position. There are also 3 openings for this job. I have yet to hear anything and it looks as if the office is still accepting applications for the positions.

It is a job I would really enjoy starting to get my feet wet after graduating from school.

Would you advise against email/calling the HR to inquire about the position to see when they look to have it filled by? [essentially what I would be asking]

Thanks.

Edit* ...if you are an HR...PLEASE give your 2 cents...
