How do you respond to unsuccessful applicants? I sent an application for a (my first) junior position one month ago and heard nothing back. It would be much kinder if you were to at least acknowledge receipt; just an auto-responder that said "We receive a large volume of applications. If you haven't heard back within x-timeframe, please consider your application unsuccessful" would suffice. Just being ignored is demoralising.
