It's not a frigging dating game where you both wait for the other side to call you first.
It ain't about looking desperate, it's about looking "eager" for a job.
I'de rather have em eager then apathetic,lazy, not on top of their own case..
there is nothing wrong with checking in with them, at all.
Now you don't have to call em every day, or even every week.
That's something you have to get a feel for.. You try to stay in touch without annoying them.
And though not calling won't annoy them at all, it won't help you in getting the job either.

there is a fine line between eager and annoying.
we had one guy in our office. he applied, and made it thru the process. while waiting he essentially stalked us. he would show up..try to meet us at our lunch places..eek. in the end, we had to work with the person, so a guy that gave us the creeps just wouldnt work. we opted for another choice.
the original guy even offered to "intern" for free.
