Sample Response Letter to Unsolicited Resume from Candidate

If the company has any vacancies, they may consider the resume for the position. Otherwise, they may preserve the resume for future consideration.

Some companies are polite enough to send response letters to the candidates to thank them for their application and to encourage them for job opportunities with the company in the future.
