Actual response I just received in email for a job application.  The only thing I've redacted from this is the signature.  Everything else is exactly as it appeared in my inbox:
Quote:Dear Robert Schroeck
We have received your resume submission for the Programmer position at (add
company name). We will review your resume within (add timeframe) and contact you
should your qualifications meet the requirements of the position. Your
submission will be kept on file for (add length of time).
In addition to considering you for the Programmer position, your resume will
also be added to our applicant-tracking database and we will review your
qualifications as new opportunities develop. You are welcome to apply to future
job postings if an opportunity interests you.
Thank you again for applying!
Regards,
[[NAME REMOVED TO PROTECT THE GUILTY]
(add company name, link to company website, other contact info as appropriate)
If I hadn't received this within a couple minutes of an application, I'd have no idea what job it was for...
