Should I send a follow-up email, or wait?

So on Oct. 23rd, I submitted an application for a position. An HR rep called me on the 4th of November and asked me if I would apply to a different position.(position had more stringent requirements). She sent me an e-mail with the information, I told her it was a good opportunity, and I would apply. She said great, as soon as I get your app in the system, I'll set up a time for us to talk. So, I completed the analysis piece required for that position(first one had no analysis piece) and put it through on the 7th(deadline was 8th).
I have yet to hear from her, and was thinking I would have by now. The position starts in mid-december, so the timing is extremely tight, which makes me think they'll want to act pretty quickly.
Should I send out a follow-up email, or should I wait?

Send a follow up. Express your interest again. Keep it short and sweet. Nothing wrong with a quick follow up email.

Ditch the email. Send a hand written letter.

Since she called you, why not call her back?

Should I call her? I'm not really sure, here. Thats why I figured I ask, the money board is usually money on this type of stuff.

It would take a week or longer to get her a handwritten letter. That'll arrive too late no matter what happens, I'm pretty sure.

Pick up the phone.
HR folks are the worst and probably forgot about it.

Give her a phone call in order to verify that she received the application.
"Ms X, I just wanted to follow up per our last discussion about that new role. I went ahead and got my app in the system and I wanted to verify that you had received it."

Agreed on the follow up call - just a simple "wanted to say thanks and let you know i filled out the required application, want to make sure it made it to you as the opportunity sounds great. let me know if you need anything else from me"

Yes and DO NOT bug them... That is my biggest pet peeve in interviewing/hiring.

THIS. I had a guy STALK me just this past month after I interviewed him and said I'd like to offer him a position.
He called me every day after wards, every few hours.
I decided not to give him the job.

I talked to her.
Typical, we're reviewing all the candidates, blah blah blah BS, thanks for patient.
said I'd hear back either way within a week, so, i guess i'll know soon.

As always, I appreciate the guidance gentleman.
If I get the job, I'll buy you all a beer. At some $1 happy hour cause I'll still be poor, but at least I'll be an employed poor.
