>I submitted an application on X
>I just wanted to make sure that it reached you alright
they'll go and find it
>Thanks and when might I expect to hear back if I'm being considered any further?
they'll either schedule an interview with you right then or will give you a date that you can expect to hear from them by, if they're overly vague about it you're probably out.
