Worse, what is the chance that I (or

what we get in response to a short and narrowly targeted
job description, what will we get from this person when we want a short and narrowly targeted document?
I'm not opposed to improving the situation, but my gut tells me that we don't begin with hiring managers who want strict control over the form and content of my resume. If that was actually what is needed, we could revert to job applications on company-designed forms. This solution would save ME a lot of guess work about each particular job's personality and job requirements. Based on what I'm hearing in this thread, I think hiring managers would probably get more satisfaction from using their own application forms, too--it seems that their dissatisfaction all stems from having applicants who somehow just don't get what the employer is looking for.

In favor say Aye.
