I found a letter given to me when I took the POSS test that said not to contact HR and all applicants will be notified by Jan/Feb. So not sure what to do, but will call by Thurs/Fri.

Sounds like you are about to fail your first test: "Can the applicant follow instructions?"

It's a great way to weed out a few extra bodies, ain't it?? ;)

The HR reps are from a contracted staffing company anyway. The idea there is to avoid flooding them with calls that will accomplish nothing; the decision lies solely with the hiring manager at the plant after the HR screeners get you through the door. It wouldn't be harmful to call, just pointless.

You're new to this post-EAOS job hunting thing, so here's a word of advice: Yes, it CAN be harmful. Until you are on site first day, anything goes. Cheese off HR, and your paperwork can get "lost", runner-ups get offered your spot, etc. Seen it happen.
Your mileage may vary...

You can search any number of these boards and find a mixed bag of advice. Some will say not to hurt your chances by calling/writing and asking where they are in the hiring process and some say that you should do it because it shows initiative. Either way, that is a decision you have to make on your own. There are at least 3 of us here that are waiting to hear back from this company. A friend who works at Duke ran into one of the hiring managers and asked how it was going. He was told that the names were submitted just awaiting final approval. I think contacting the company would be moot at this point because they have already decided who they are going to hire. The guy I interviewed with told me that offers were expected to go out by the end of January but not to get nervous if I hadn't heard anything by then because sometimes it just takes a while. I think we just have to be a little patient at this point, even though we are all quite anxious.
