I received a notice about a job I just applied for. It is very
professional. Through
an E-mail, it takes you to a site you fill out a form, but above is a letter
that begins:
"Dear Applicant:
Your application for a position with The ********** has been received. We
would like to express our appreciation for your demonstrated interest in
this position......."
And it closes, they will get back to me shortly.
Well done from an employer I would like to work for!!!!
