I learned something, that I thought I should pass on. I am sure this has happened to others as well. You apply for a position, have your resume in good order. Send in a great cover letter. And hear nothing, and you are totally puzzled because you were positive you were a great match.

A few things to be aware of: Sometimes even if the job position did not state it. They will quit accepting positions after they reach a certain number. And the truth is they do not send out notices of any type to say capacity reached. Or the opposite can happen, not enough people actually apply. They may have internally at the company stated they want to see at least 8 resumes. And if there are not enough qualified applicants based on the recruiter handling them. More often than not, they end up reposting the position. And I have found that well over 50% of the time they do not consider anyone who applied the first time.

I know this does not apply to all positions, at all places. But if you are really interested in a specific position and the application was through an agency. I suggest to follow up with them. Good Luck Everyone!
