As a business owner you will often get speculative applications for jobs that may be available in your company. Even if you don’t have any vacancies, remember that the applicant has spent time and trouble writing to you and genuinely would like to work for you. You in turn should take the time to reply. There may be a time in the future when you do have a vacancy and this person may be the ideal candidate.
