Meg,
 
If applying for a Federal Government job.....YES.  I too a couple years back ventured into the corporate world (Law Firms, Banking, etc.), and found they too use the same process (no response).   They are getting similiar in their responses (letting you know you got the job), as the Federal Government.....I have to ask which job   I applied for, and to whom did I apply (that's how long it was before they responded).

Subject: [RM] responses to job applications


    I was wondering if others have had a problem with online job applications. 
Over the last year, I have applied for several positions by using the companies' 
online application systems. Sometimes I get an email acknowledgment of receipt 
of the application, sometimes not. But then the application seems to go into a 
black hole, and I never hear another word about the position. In the old days, 
each applicant would receive a form letter stating that the company had chosen 
another candidate for the position, thank you for applying, we'll keep your 
application on file, etc. I hate not hearing anything. Is this a common 
occurrence?
