I'm getting a lot out of this. One quick typo for you to correct - what's funny is its location; for example if you are hiring someone to response to customer service emails and their spelling/grammar is poor that may not be a good fit. I think you meant to say: "respond" vs. "response" :-) Keep up your good work helping to create OBMs and best wishes for a great year!

I get frustrated when I apply for a position and do not hear from the company that I was not successful at the initial screening. I am never sure how many emails I should send to get a response. In the majority of cases, I give up because no one is responding. I believe a simple email saying thanks but you did not make the list or something along those lines would be appreciated. It saves time for me and for the company. Actually follow up works both ways.

I think more than one follow-up is not inappropriate. One in 2 - 3 days, another in a month. I have even sent an email a year later, just to check in to ask if they any questions. Or if they mentioned a specific that I can mention in the year-later follow-up, such as they are looking at a particular method of advertising and I've met someone or read something that might be of interest to them, I include that, just to let them know that I remember them as an individual.
