[ale] buzzword

I just wish in this litigious and overly sensitive society, we could  
all just be honest with each other at the professional level.  
Companies can't reject you and actually tell you why they rejected  
you, they have to give you a bunch of BS that does not help you or them.

If you are applying for a job at Hooters and you are a pasty white kid  
from Phoenix, then the reason given should be "hey you are not a hot  
18-29 year old female, so get lost."

The same should work for jobs that you think you are actually "right"  
for. If you do Perl programming for years and you apply for a Perl job  
and don't get it...please tell the person straight up why he/she did  
not get it, so that he/she can work on the issue and/or have peace of  
mind.

Would that not be the best thing?
