Finding a job sucks

I just applied for another job on careerbuilder today. You get a nice email back that tells you they got the application with a "competition summary."

Competition Summary New! Your competition for this job

# of Applications Received: 1730

Average Education Level: Bachelor's

Average Years of Experience: 5 - 9

Average Distance from Job: 647 Miles

Awesome. I'm only competing with 1729 other applicants. Ugg.

That competition summary is harsh.  I can imagine that a lot of people might give up after seeing that.   Good luck!  I know you have had a tough few years with jobs.

Maybe it is an error?  I see the average distance from the job is 647 miles.  That is one hell of a commute!  The job market is BRUTAL.  I hope you are able to find something soon.
