Application for what?

Very long for 'her', and even longer for 'his'.

If it's for a job advertised on here then the answer could be never! Most advertisers are too lazy to reply to people who they aren't interested in!

If there was one more p in your username it would make 'epilepsy lies' maybe you were having a seizure and forgot who you are, the letter p and what job your applying for.

I find your lack of question annoying. You didn't even bother writing any text. I work in HR and when I receive an application that is just the email subject and an attached CV I delete it. If you cannot be bothered to even write any text I don't think you will bother to work hard at work.

employers usually rush things overeagerly if they're interested, and ignore you if they're not. if you spoke with them already, and they don't respond anymore, they found another more interesting candidate. remember: they will only acknowledge you if they wantssomething from you. if 2 work days passed since you sent an application and still no answer, consider it rejected.

If it's for an english teaching job I usually get a response very soon after applying. I've only had a few responses for non teaching jobs I was qualified for (at a stretch), and none for more speculative applications. The ap alevel subject jobs is in between. I sometimes get a response. 

The reason is simple. They are inundated with cv s. You re lucky if they read your application. Chinese employers don t like the confrontation of telling somebody they are rejected. Twice now I ve been offered a contract by Chinese employers. Then for some reason they decided against it. Rather than telling me things have changed they simply set their Skype to invisible and don't respond to emails. Has to be a chinese thing
