To be fair, most online application processes are fairly broken. I'm sure everyone here knows what it's like to painstakingly enter your complete personal information and work history several times, when everything is clearly on the resume you've already uploaded. Or to have it entirely erased and need to enter it a fourth time because you accidentally went back to a previous page, etc.
Often, if a job has a form that smells like this, I'll bypass for other options, as to me it indicates bureaucracy and institutional stupidity, which I don't want to deal with on the job. It's my brown M&Ms clause.
- forgingahead 6y agoYes, but you wouldn't click the "Apply" button on the actual job post (ie, LinkedIn or whatever) and NOT follow the instructions would you? The point was that if you're going to apply, follow the instructions in the job ad.
