I do agree with Gayle; and there are other things that need saying. 

I know, from representations made to me by job seekers, that closing 
dates are also very helpful. What is not helpful is "open until filled". 
Just think how galling it is to spend time reading a job description and 
person spec, tailoring your application to suit the employer and the 
spec, sending it off and then being told, "I'm sorry, the job was filled 
some time ago."

Of course, many job seekers send off applications and then simply do 
not hear anything because the employer thinks that "Only those called 
for interview will be contacted" is acceptable. It really isn't. Employers 
owe the same courtesy to applicants as they do to anyone else. How 
much (real) effort can it be to send a card/note saying "We are sorry, 
on this occasion you have not been successful"? And, is the cost really 
not bearable?

Or am I just an old fashioned dinosaur?
