  more information would be helpful

  The hardest part of dealing with the increase in applications is sorting and storing them. It'd be great to see information regarding how to store resumes, or how to evaluate ATS systems effectively.

  Dealing with the Deluge

  My worst experience with respect to job hunting was when I came in for a Team Manager interview with the Head of HR of this company and she seemed really inattentive and distracted throughout the interviewing process. At the end I just could not resist and asked her what would be the next logical step after the personal interview with her. To my horror she mentioned that she received over 1000 job applications and was in the process of completing Personal Interviews!!!
  
  Needless to say I never heard from that company again and would never suggest/refer it to any of my peers.
  
  It is unacceptable to get into the interviewing process without having a plan and definitely inappropriate to tell the candidate who has come in for a PI that he or she is competing against a 1000 other candidates.
