That is all.
Okay, a little more. ; )
In the seasonal world, the turn of the calendar from December to January acts as the green light of a NASCAR race. Everyone truly interested in working summer jobs in great places gets on-line and starts applying. As employers, it's both a wonderful time and a stressful time as your in-box just tripled in size. I say embrace it and work the applications to the best of your ability.
I've written about this before, several times actually, and my hope is always the same.
All applicants that take the time to fill out your application get the respect they deserve. They get thanked for their time and their interest and they get a response.

Absolutely spot-on Kari. It can be hard, given the massive numbers of applicants for some positions, but these interactions go a long way to forming your reputation as an organization, and quite simply responding to applicants is just the right thing to do.
Thanks, Steve. I long for the day when all employers take this to heart and understand that not only are the doing well by their job seekers, but ultimately, their survival as a good employers to work for depend on it.
Just discovered this post via twitter that hits on the same theme from T-Recs.
