I guess I will share my short lived experience...
I applied back in February and FINALLY recieved a call from a recruiter yesterday. I was at work so I had to call her back. I called back and she answered right away and began telling me about the position she was going to set me up for. She said that it wasn't exactly what I had applied for but she was going to see if I was still interested. It was a full time Chat position (which is EXACTLY what I want) however instead of being graveyard shift, it was day time shift... and when she said this, my heart dropped! Basically, I had to decline because I'm not as flexible for day time shift as I am the graveyard! I was so so disappointed! However she said that if the graveyard shift opened up again she would call me back and said that they are pretty good about followups and also mentioned that since I have her number I could call her back if I see the position opens again. SO I guess the waiting game begans. There is no telling when that opportunity will come up again! I asked and she said that you never know one day it's not open and the next it is.
I'm just glad that I've at least got my foot in the door now!
