call...tell them that you want to follow up about your intership

i know that there is always a little hesitation about thinking that you are pestering the hiring manager/hr person/etc, but these people are people and understand

...and sometimes it just takes time for them to get around to it...a LOT of time. take the maximum time you think is reasonable, then double it, and that, unfortunately, is how long it sometimes takes.

but yes, call or email.

Interns are often very low on the priority list, that's just the way it is. People who usually do the hiring also wear many other hats so don't be worried. They offered you the job so they must like you, no need to worry.

A call after a week is perfectly reasonable. Wait too long and they'll think you're not really that interested.

Thanks for the replies guys. Hugely appreciated!
Will give them a call on Monday if they still have not responded to the email.

same boat here. except mine was in regard to a full time position.go figure.

Done. Admin that I was emailing took leave.

i had an interview last week, same deal a few of them took vacation right after the interview. What does that say about the office? it tells me that they are quite secure in their job to the point that they can take a vacation, or it could mean they are gettting the heck out of dodge. who knows.
