A batter must request and then be given time from the home plate umpire. If the batter backs out of the batter's box without time being called the pitch is legal and valid.

A batter can simply back out of the batter's box without calling time. However, if the pitcher has started their windup, the batter cannot step out and must remain in the box until the pitch is thrown.

What should you do if the HR manager you spoke with seemed to want to hire you and asked you to call back but when you did she asked you to call back again as she had no information for you as yet?

If you're worried about "bugging" her, don't. Call her back and tell her that you're just "checking back as she had asked to see what the status of the job was." That way, she will be reminded that she had asked you to call, and if she still doesn't have any information for you and asks you to call back again, ask her when would be a good time or when she thinks she might have some more information...and then, by all means, call her back again. Good luck.
