My experience with almost all companies and even academia is that they treat job applicants like crap. It seems that when you apply for a job you are now part of some sub-culture that can be mistreated.

A few years ago I went out on a job hunt. I applied for 30 jobs. For most of them I never even got a "thank you for your application" note, which I think is the bare minimum. When I hired people, I always sent personal notes back to the applicants.

I hope that other applicants have a better experience with D2L than you did.
