Combine the unemployment rate with the amount of applications you need to fill out to get an interview, combined with the amount of detailed information each company wants in its own format, combined with the fact that 99% of applications won't even get a "Thanks for applying" message, combined with the fact that most companies will only hire someone who has the exact experience as the guy who just got fired or quit; quite frankly, I am absolutely amazed at the scarcity of businesses being burned to the ground.

However, it's not hard to write a thank you note, and in my experience HR people are needy illiterates. So it may help you land the job if you throw them a bone thanking them for their precious time and consideration. Certainly don't mention all the mistakes and incongruencies in the job ad (one of my fav's was "Must Have Masters - prefer Bachelors").

lolol

That probably means they want a candidate with a Masters.

But they will only pay based on a Bachelors.

Or maybe they mean bachelor as in no married people.
