I was told during the interview it would probably be "a few months" before they would be hiring and the person who told me about the job said she heard the company has been "slammed."

1. most companies never contact you back, some you get a form letter

we are impressed with your qualifications but we picked someone who was a match or you get a postcard acknowledging they got your app or you hear nothing - at least you had a interview - need to keep looking - especially if you haven't heard back within a week.
