Whoever designs these new online job application systems should have to complete the process 100 times before they subject others to it.
I find them incredibly annoying. One size does not fit all. You would not ask the same interviews questions of a CEO and a clerk, yet doing so in a web form is okay. And things like giving you a small text box (about 100 characters) to "Describe your duties" seems dumb to me. Twitter gives you more characters! And don't get me started about duplicating the information in a resume in these same web forms.
Do you really want to work for the people that hire like this? These applications are not meant to actually hire anyone, but to screen everyone out by the Sh@theads in HR looking for Keywords.
ReplyDeleteI had that same thought... HR person who wants the world + an IT person not brave enough to tell them "no" when designing the system.

ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to have enough money to buy out my current employer, fire my boss, and hire one I like.
DeleteI've also had that thought... then I decide if I had that much money, I'd just retire.
