All I can suggest is that we all, if we are in the position, to send out rejection notices.
Never been in that position, and I have usually called to follow up on interviews and gotten updates that way. I have been fortunate, and never been totally unemployed for long, though.
I know people who just work through temp agencies - it is getting to be more and more common for businesses to rely on temps rather than hiring more people, I am not sure what your job skills or wants are, but temping may be an option for you ...
I guess the cats are still not bringing in any cash of their own to support you, huh?"It's okay, mum, we'll buy the kitty food this week, oh, and maybe some treats for you, too!"
