It's difficult to say exactly when you can expect to hear back after submitting an online job application, as the timeline can vary depending on the company's recruitment process and the number of applicants they receive.

In general, it's a good idea to follow up with the company if you haven't heard back within one to two weeks of submitting your application. You can reach out to the hiring manager or recruiter via email or phone to express your continued interest in the position and ask about the status of your application.

However, it's also important to keep in mind that the hiring process can take time, and it's not uncommon for companies to take several weeks or even months to review applications and make hiring decisions. It's important to be patient and to continue to explore other job opportunities in the meantime.

Remember, the most important thing is to focus on presenting yourself as a strong candidate for the position, through your application materials, interview performance, and overall professional demeanor. Even if you don't hear back from this particular company, your efforts and experience will be valuable as you continue to pursue your career goals.

You should just keep applying for jobs, until you have a job. You can never tell if you have got the job, having expectations like you have, will make you feel demoralized.

Usually within 4 weeks, if you don't hear after the 4 week from you applied, you have been unsuccessful.
