This is an interesting point because I've had interviews and job offers come up
months, even a year after I submitted a resume. Granted, you can't count on
this to happen but it's always a pleasant surprise to find that a place was
interested in me after all.

I'd also like to point out to the potential employers out there that putting a
cut-off date on taking applications is most helpful. That way if you see a job
listing posted that is a month or more old, you know if they are still taking
applications or not. And it gives the applicants a time to expect that they
might hear back. If it is past that cut-off date, at least the applicant can
pretty much assume they weren't picked for an interview.
