Has it become unfashionable for employers to send "thanks but no thanks" letters to unsuccessful job applicants?

Good points. If every misemployed and unemployed librarian I know had sent them a resume, plus every librarian who wanted a change, plus some of the new grads.... They probably got 100. The only reason I'm sure my email got there is that I received an out-of-office reply from my initial submission.

Only 100?

When I was at Endeca, we estimated that we screened 1000 résumés for every person hired. There were three stages (review the résumé, phone screen, interview), and, at each stage, about 1 in 10 made it through.
