1. What is the appropriate number of business days to wait before you call asking about the status of a job application?
2. What is the appropriate number of calls and e-mails to send before completely giving up on said job?

Note: I don't mean general calls and e-mails, I mean targetted calls to the actual human beings who post these job listings. A lot of them are in LinkedIn so I can find their phone numbers pretty easily, or if not that I'll just call the front desk and ask to be forwarded. I know that if I just put my stuff into some faceless ATS that I'm basically playing the lottery in regards to call backs so I stopped bothering to follow up on those.

Did they tell you when they'll be in touch? If not, then give them three days, then another three days. Don't bother emailing, those are easy to ignore

I've already given up on getting e-mail responses and even LinkedIn messages so I'm just focused on phone calls.

In this case I am referring to jobs on linkedin where you can see who posted the job listing, and jobs on other sites where contact information is included, so they haven't said when they'll be in touch.
