I'm really curious if anyone here has ever had this happen to them, or perhaps been on the other end of it.

A handful of times I've been in contact with someone over a job, or an internship. I'll send them my resume and a cover for a job I'm qualified for, and they'll email back saying "Hai, I read your resume and I'd like you to come down for an interview. When can you make it?" I email back with a list of specific days and times that would work best for me, but always close it by saying I'd be more than willing to work around their schedule if my availability doesn't work for them.

And then you never hear back from them.

A couple days pass, and I'll email again politely saying "Hi, remember me shithead?" And still no response.

If the job was filled why not just say so? I get that nobody owes me anything, but it comes across as really unprofessional.

I had this happen a few times the last time I was seriously job hunting. Now I'm searching for an internship for graduate course credit, so I thought it might be a different story since I'm volunteering to work for free. I've already had 2 dead ends like this. And I don't get it.

Answers and tangential gripes welcome.
