I agree. Every person who submits a resume to us gets a decline or acceptance letter. Nobody gets ignored. Everybody deserves a prompt response.
To me, it just makes no sense to burn any bridges. Sure, it may not have been a good fit at this time, but in the future, you never know. Especially in Gainesville, there's not a huge job market for this field. Burning bridges is never a good idea unless you're changing fields all together.
Can I come work for you?
