Comment on NYTimes's Pogue going to Yahoo

Comments

> Yahoo is getting 12,000 résumés a week from would-be employees.

Are there really 12,000 new applicants per week that would even be remotely qualified? Even if only half of those are technical job applicants, I find that hard to believe. Resume spam from everyone who's unemployed.

Yes, definitely. Google gets over a million applications per year as of 3 years ago [1]; it's feasible that Yahoo would get half of that now.

After I read that I figured that they have enough resumes, so no need to send them mine. Is that the message they want out there?
