Sadly, due to the sheer quantity of resumes received, they simply have
to be weeded out somehow. I remember one manager who had a stack of
resumes on his desk. He split the stack in half and dropped half of
them in the trash (didn't even look at them) because, as he put it, he
didn't have time to wade through them all. When I asked what his
justification was for potentially dropping the perfect candidate, his
response was to the effect that "they are bad candidates because they
are unlucky."
That company no longer exists.
