So, tell me how exactly does this shit work.  I see a job posting and I send my resume because I fit most or all the requirements for the job.  Correction.  I fit all the requirements.  I don't hear anything back accept a general e-mail that my application and resume were received and if there's a match someone will call.  It might take a few days.  And I'm thinking.  A few days?  What the fuck is HR doing?  Running the company picnic?  Preparing for health day?  Boning up on HIPPA regulations.  Removing benefits from full-time workers?  Firing the experienced?  Taking a slightly longer lunch break?  Hiring additional interns and associates and inexperienced workers to fill office space?  Isn't my resume (and carefully crafted cover letter) racing into the hands of HR so they can make an immediate decision?  isn't that what HR does for a living?  they said they were hiring like, now.  I send my resume and... talk to me.  What is the deal?
