Please note, this may not work near as well in a corporate workplace....In many corporate work places, what they really want you to do is to paper over unpalatable reality with official, neutral-sounding language. Yeah, really.
you hit the proverbial nail on the head there, aardvark.
This is the third time this kind of long form application has worked well for me, but when I was in St Louis last spring, I sent out about 40 of those, and only got two interviews (both of which I rejected the job offer.)
I cannot handle a corporate environment, so the long application pretty much guarantees that those people wont call me back. ;)
