Looking for Life, Love, and Laughter...And A Job #17

So, I have been thinking about numbers lately, for some reason, when it comes to my job search. Additionally, every time I write a cover letter I go in and do a little research on the institution -- and frequently find myself on a "facts and figures" type page. So...instead, how about doing the same for my job search.

I present to you...
