George Garner asked

>I wonder how in this age of spreadsheets,  mail merges, and document
templates, one cannot send responses to their applicants


I had to respond to this.  While I agree that employers should send
responses to applicants, I hope no one believes that all museums have access
to this type of equipment.  And even if they do have access, believe me, not
everyone knows how to use the software.  One museum I worked at had one old
pc that was a hand-me-down from the police department.  I think it was a
286 - I know it still used the huge floppies.  At my present job, and thanks
to a wonderful donor, we have the equipment but I'm the only one who knows
how to use the "advanced" features - stop laughing - that includes how to
print labels and how to sort data on a spreadsheet.

And I'm not telling where I work :)
