[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 206322, member: 2672"] I personally wouldn’t follow up unless you needed to update your CV/application form. Speculative applications are effectively a way to data capture your details. When organisations do this, they do so with no particular vacancy in mind and they may not even have any live vacancies at that point in time. Firms then collect your CV with the view that they will contact you if there is a vacancy that they think you might be suitable for. But that vacancy might not come up immediately nor for many months. Instead, I would keep an eye on the firm’s careers website/vacancy listings and if you see a job they are advertising for, then remind them of your speculative applications. Otherwise it is just better to wait it out and for them to contact you when something becomes available. [/QUOTE]
