Is it OK for me to follow up a 2nd time for this Job? Detaisl inside, they open in 11 Days...?

I am wondering if it would be -acceptable- to follow up with the manager for the position under the following circumstances:



There is a restaurant (Five Guys, lets call them "Burger World" That is opening up 16 new locations over 3 years. One is open already, and the other - in the enxt town over - i applied to 3 weeks ago. I interviewed with the original manager, mark. All was looking good, i had my Resume and dressed in full Busienss attire for my interview.



Then, when the new restaurant opened up, he was transferred to the open location for suport. he is no longer in charge of hiring. He passed my application and resume to the new Hiring Manager, Merv. The Day after memorial Day, after following up with Mark two times in the previous week (Thursday and Memorial Day which is what we agreed on, talking to Mark at the new store, who originally was going to hire me but couldnt or didnt get the chance to in a good word for me) i went to see Merv in person at the location.



I interviewed with merv. I -think- the Interview went well. I detailed my Fast Food experience (everything but making the Burgers, when he asked) and He said "Im fine" when i gave a detailed answer to a question about where i wanted to be in 10 years, highlighting that i saw myself moving up if i wasnt doing anything i wasnt supposed to be doing, and we were talking over a loud air compressor, as they are opening in 11 days, June 8th. I asked him as indirectly as i could after the interview (maybe directly, i forget%Is it OK for me to follow up a 2nd time for this Job? Detaisl inside, they open in 11 Days...?
I think you definitely should. It just sounds like everyone is in the middle of a whirlwind trying to deal with openings and staff and potential staff. You are right not to get yourself lost in the shuffle.



Follow-up again with Merv. If you can't reach him, go back to Mark and ask him nicely what you should do because you are very interested in a job.



Sending you positive vibes!
