An opinion as it is said in the title, what is posted in Yahoo displaying a cover letter of an applicant in J.P. Morgan with a title "laughed at" is an act of unprofessionalism.
Even if the name of the applicant and other information "redacted as necessary" was not in the online news it was still unethical for a company to not respect and not handle a cover letter, or with a resume, confidentially. It was even distributed among an entire team, and worst, have it reached to "more than a dozen firms". No matter how less humility or exaggerated truthfulness is in the presentation, professionalism is never a situational. (And I agree with the people's comments on the news)
A cover letter is an opinion, perspective, and advertisement to oneself. It includes an aim to surpass other candidates aiming for the same desired position. It should be between HR and the applicant, and not with the rest of world, no matter what styles the owner of the resume took just to make its own exceptional.
Confidentiality laws does not include, however, this case; disrespectfulness to your parents is not in the law as well. Open-mindedness should not reach to the point that your brain would fall off.
(Don't get me wrong, i'm also amused with the cover letter...hmmm...seriously?)
