We'll be sending out responses in the coming week; mostly requests for people to try particular sample work tasks.

My quick searches about that topic seem to suggest following up 1-2 weeks later if no timeline is given or after any timeline has expired. That sounds like the advice I've been told by my parents when I was job hunting as well.

Here are some of the links I found:

http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/outside-voices-careers/2012/01/23/how-to-follow-up-on-your-job-application http://www.resumeservice.com/thejobbored/ask-brian-how-long-should-i-wait-to-hear-back-some-rules_489/

If you want a sample of the opposite view, here is someone saying "Never ask for followup unless you have already been interviewed." http://www.careerrocketeer.com/2011/03/when-should-you-follow-up-after-submitting-job-application.html

However, that person sounds like a person who is sick of drowning in useless applicants. That is not a feeling I have gotten from either Eliezer or Anna. So I would go with 1-2 weeks from the evidence I've seen so far.
