I think this is pretty smart. Mathew Lu, a grad student at Cornell, has collected the materials from his job applications and posted them to his webpage. I think more job candidates should do this. There’s usually very little secret about applications. The reference letters are secret, and of course Lu doesn’t post them. (I presume he doesn’t even have access to them.) And if you want to present a different look for every different application being so public won’t do. But on the whole most applicants want to make it as easy as possible for potential employers to see their file, so they should follow Lu’s lead and make them accessible to anyone with a browser.
