What really happens after you apply for a job and don’t get it

Have you ever noticed that when a company gives you a negative answer to an interview for some reason or another they always follow up with “we will keep your resume in our data base and we will contact you in the future if we have any new positions available”?

Point is that… they never do afterwards. Ever.

Logically, the human resource is infinite, so they have where to choose from. However, i think it would be more ethical for a company to at least say: “Please apply again in the future, chances are we are not even going to look at your resume, but what the hell? Maybe you’ll get lucky some day… if you keep applying and we forget about you until then – or if the management changes. Though your chances are like 1 to 100.000”.

I would prefer this kind of straight, honest answer than one that promises something which will likely never happen.

What about you?
