Hello friends! I'm in a bit of a situation right now and would like some advice, I didn't see a megathread for these types of questions but if I missed it please let me know and I'll close the thread.

For some background info:I applied for a control room job at the major power company in my area back in late April. They gave me a phone interview in mid-may, then invited me to their headquarters to take a pre-employment technical exam. I passed this and was invited back for a site tour and face-to-face interview. I feel the interview went well and they told me it would be about 2 weeks before they decided on who they would hire. I gave HR call 16 days later, and was told that they were still interviewing and would decide soon. Last week, the person I interviewed with ( he will be making the decision on who to hire) called me to ask if I was still interested, I told him that I was very interested and haven't heard back since.

I'm currently employed so I don't mind the long wait on them deciding to hire me or not, however I'm worried about calling too much and harassing my would-be boss. The same company has recently posted the same position but in a different suburb of my city, is it inappropriate to apply for this job as well, while I am still in a pending status for the position I initially applied for? I'm reluctant to call the hiring manager back so soon, but if that is the best bet I will go ahead and give him a call to see where I'm at.
