[quote name='lordwow']I'm always surprised at the complete lack of communication by companies I've applied for positions at.[/quote]
it's bad. don't expect them to give you any response, at all. i've even been in the situation that they emailed me and asked me to interview for the position. when i emailed them back, i got no response, so i called and left a voicemail for the woman who emailed me, and she never responded either. after like 2 more weeks i called her again, and still never got a response.
