<human>: Hey everyone. So I work for a large hospital in New Jersey. I currently have my bachelors in criminal justice and work in the security department, but last year started grad school to get my MPA with a concentration in healthcare administration. Recently, an opening had become available for the position of HR generalist within the organization. I submitted my application through the company's internal mobility site and emailed the hiring manager for the position with what I thought(and was told) was a great cover letter connecting my experiences to what would qualify me for the position. To my surprise, I actually received an email back the next day stating "Thank you, Ryan.  We are in the process of reviewing all resumes and anticipate beginning the interview process within the next week or so.  We will keep you informed as the process progresses.  Should you have any questions, please feel free to call." Now although I didn't get my hopes up, I felt that since she told me when the interview process would start that there might be some hope. More than three weeks later, still no word. Any idea if I should email back to see where they stand even though I never even had an interview? What do I say? Did I basically get the thanks, but no thanks? Any feedback is much appreciated!

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
