I saw a piece about this on Dateline or a similar show not long ago. The
gist was that with the advent of the Internet employers simply cannot keep
up with the numbers of people who are submitting resumes and applying for
jobs, whether solicited or not. According to this story employers are
totally overwhelmed with the ocean of resumes and job applications that come
in via email and they simply cannot respond to them. In addition to this,
apparently there is some sort of legal requirement that each resume that
comes in has to be stored for a specific period of time, which is creating a
massive filing headache for many employers . . .
