3,000-word rejection letter

"About 900 jobseekers in the US have found themselves on the end of a 3,000-word bullet-pointed rejection letter."

And I thought not hearing anything back was bad! So is a 3,000-word rejection letter better than no letter at all?
I think item no. 40 ("Don't email me a novella") was very hypocritical, as was the mass rejection letter when employers don't like receiving mass applications copied to many companies.

Looked pretty helpful to me, though I'm not so sure on the Facebook account point.
I don't have an account because I don't think it's correct to give a private company carte blanche to do whatever they like with my personal information. It's strange to call that being "afraid".
For him it may be important to have an account, but I wouldn't take it as advice for all job applicants. To be honest, sending your profile link in a job application seems extremely tacky, and almost outright odd. Mixing personal with professional comes to mind.Said Aristippus, “If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.”
Said Diogenes, “Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.”[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][/FONT]0 -
