I agree with Mystalic and I commend the effort and the really cool site she built. I hope she gets the job -

As a side, I hope hiring companies realize that many of their applicants are die-hard fans and advocates...

I have applied to two companies before that I was fiercely loyal to going into the process. After the process I was completely turned off to both of them. One offered me a job and one did not - I didn't take the job from the one that did.

The application and interview process was so bad with both of them it left me completely disenchanted. I have not used products from either company since those experiences - I completely lost my taste for their respective brands.

Conversely, I had another very positive experience with a different company that I was equally loyal to. The application and interview process was excellent. I didn't end up getting the job but I walked away with even greater respect for the company.

Bottom line for me...You can learn just about everything you need to know about a company through the application process.
