person A: I applied for a job online and I didn't get approved.
person B: Oh no_comma_ Im so sorry! They probably already filled the position and it didnt have to do with you personally!
person A: You know_comma_ I didn't think about that. You have a good point.
person B: Yeah! People tend to be lazy and not take down the posting once they have filled the position and the automated emails will send a canned response instead. 
person A: They should take down the posting if the job is taken.
