I guess this is some high-handed attempt at a put-down.
I think you have to consider what game job-hunting/filling is.
IMHO it's essentially quite similar to mating.
In that case, you see all kinds of strategies, tailored to the environment, and other realities.
Have you thought about why you're getting all these applications that clearly don't match?
Is it because people are stupid, or lazy? Or do you think there might be some logic behind a strategy of just sending out semi-customized applications in search of a match, knowing that most are simply ignored anyway?
I mean, someone who thinks through why things are the way they are, and what to do about it, even if they can't get to an answer, is someone I would want on my team.
