While I'm not getting any hits on my applications, I do appear to be serving at least one purpose to my potential employers. It seems as though my applications are excellent reminders for them to remove the job posting from their websites.
Example one: In November I applied for a lecturer position at a local college. I never heard from them, however, 2 days after my application had been sent in the job posting had been removed.
Example two: Sunday evening I e-mailed in my application for that grant writing position. I haven't heard anything from them. Today when I went back to that University's job website I saw that the position had been removed.
Ok, so maybe I overreacted - this has only happened to me twice. On the other hand, I've only applied for 4 positions which means I'm at a 50% "Oh crap, we still have that job posted?" rate. Now, if only I can figure out how to get paid for that........
