E-mails that come in bursts during some periods can get buried in a larger pile and it is easy to overlook one. Remember that from your perspective, it may seem like the three companies you really want to interview with ignored you. But from their perspective your response is just one e-mail among several others. They could easily have unintentionally ignored it. | |

If it's not available it's possible they just dropped you for more important things. Or it's possible they just have other business. There's nothing specifically about the wording your response that is problematic; the reasons for lack of response are elsewhere. In general, you shouldn't assume that every application will carry on with a satisfying conclusion. Some will just fizzle out and die, while others may carry on to several interview stages, but you don't get an offer, etc.. | |

Maybe the person went on holiday, etc. Also, by "first contact" do you initiate communication first (e.g. by applying to an open position), and then they responded to your application? | |
