Patience is a virtue my friend and I know for a fact that applicants like you is anxious to get employed but honestly, it all boils down to 1) you or your GF's qualification and their requirements. When are they going to hire entirely depends on them. An initial interview or a phone patch interview doesn't mean a thing. Either it is the beginning of something or the end of your application.
You can use all of social media contacts or friends to follow-up but honestly, it won't help. It is a rarity for someone to lift a finger or extend job assistance to a person they hardly know. If a job is meant for you by all means, its for you. Getting a job on your own is fulfilling and satisfying while asking someone you hardly knew is cheap and unethical (my point of view).
