A job board has a 'resume wall'. It's like there's a very narrow slot in it you shove your resume through. Then you just hope. And hope. And hope. And then give up because that wall ain't talking.

Anyone ever applying to me that sends me a legitimate application WILL get a response. And if you made it to a phone interview you WILL get a phone response even if we're not continuing.

It's all about respect. (Plus, I might want to hire you next year for a different role. I'd like it if you thought highly of me. And it's not difficult to be polite)

(If you or someone you know is looking for a Senior PHP role in Melbourne.AU, hit me up and I'll point you at the ad on Seek's resume wall :-P)

Sorry I left you wondering! A resume wall is a third-party service that sits between applicants and an employer. In order to apply for a job with some companies you have to submit your resume through their service. http://www.jobscore.com/ is an example.
