It might also help to specify details such as

  • where you are in the world
  • what field you work in
  • what stage of your career you're in

For example, I'm in Canada (Vancouver) and I see a lot of LinkedIn + school career pages

    Agreed. But what's the fastest time toy have had for a response? For me it's been measurable in quarters, not months or weeks. Usually about 3, but sometimes 5 or 6.

    I used to work for the state of IL and remember I applied on their website, then didn’t hear back for a civil service exam for 6 months! I thought I was outright rejected up until they reached back out a half a year later hahaha

    Unfortunately, that's the norm from my experience as well. I think it depends on location/department. I put in for jobs in South Dakota in my field and I had an interview within 2 weeks of the job closing.

    Hell, applying for NATO is even worse. I think the shortest I've waited for them is 8 months
