As someone in a position to hire, I make a point of telling people no -- but only if I've taken the time to interview them. No way I'm taking the time to write back to every candidate that applies over the transom.
Important people have enough crap to deal with every day, and it's just not reasonable to expect a response to every piece of communication they receive.
