That time I mentioned I didn't give them my name (I would've had I been transferred), so I'm pretty sure it didn't hurt me, but...yeah. What the fuck?

Fascinating. In German job culture, the general advice is "if you haven't received a response within X days, it cannot hurt to remind them off your application - it shows you are still interested and that that application is important to you".

Idk, as an American my Dad often tells me the same. And he'd probably know considering the hundreds of people he's hired over the years.
It think the company in question was juststupid in how it viewed applicants.
osaka:
This conversation about jobs reminded me of the story that a streamer I follow had recently with his job hunting. Basically, he saw a job posting, applied for it, three weeks passed, posting was still up so he called for some info.
THEM: "We actually already filled that position"
HIM: "... ( 'w')"
HIM: "You could at least take the posting down then? It's on *location*"
THEM: "Sure we'll do that right away".
Fast forward another 2 weeks (to this monday), the thing is still up.
tl;dr: It would be awesome if people took down their ads and flyers when they're no longer useful for anyone.

In my case, it was a job for the town I live in.
