Honestly sending out 20 applications a day sounds like a nightmare. There are sites where it’s easy and simple but many companies still insist on using their own internal hiring software which is often a complete and total usability nightmare and if you actually want to fill things out you’re going to be spending a long time repeating information from your resume in the format they desire. It sucks.
I truly can not stand how shitty and annoying it is to fill these out. There are some circumstances where I understand it regarding security clearance/background checks but even then there are absurd cases of duplication. Admittedly I’m in a somewhat unique position of having lived in something like 10 places in the last 7 years so it’s especially bad but multiple government agencies I’ve applied with have required information that I’ve already sent at a different phase of hiring repeated again, and the USPS Postal Police background check site which is very similar to SF-86 is possibly the most user-hostile site to fill forms for.
I could easily apply to 20 jobs, assuming they existed, via indeed in half an hour. But once a company requires you to go to their own site it can take half an hour to an hour to complete the process.
