I think you'd better not plan for that call to come immediately.

Your response time will vary from a few days to around year with a majority being at least weeks or months away. The response to my many resumes was nearly nine months, so if you're sitting around the phone all day, unplug the charger and get mobile and get patient. Very patient.

And read through this thread if you haven't already done so. You'd better be prepared to field the call on the first try and if you're away from your phone, leave a message that you are flying and will return the call asap. They seem to really like eager and enthusiastic applicants.

I have no idea about getting hired with the face hair, but I don't remember seeing any new hires with it. It'll always grow back...

And PtP; I'll give you the point that they could be better at communicating to the applicants. Not everything at Atlas is perfect by a long shot. But they are very good at some really important things like hiring great people, investing in modern/efficient equipment, spreading risk among many strong customers, and making money. So hang in there. If you jumped through the hoops properly and your quals are good, they'll call. It will be worth it in the end.
