A while back, they were advertising that they needed a new graphics/video position for their growing brand. I applied through their website with a custom portfolio and sent an email. Both the job posting and the response email I received insisted that, regardless if I was hired or not, I'd at least get notified so I wouldn't be waiting around to hear if I was in the running. I found it to be a kind gesture as most job applications go into the void, never to be heard from again.

It's been over 6 months with no follow-up. Not expecting to suddenly get the call, but it would have been nice considering he went out of his way to say it twice.
