All the jobs I got over my career, I got by filling out a non-conventional long job application form.
I always assumed it's because that's where most job seekers would drop off.
It's how I got a job as an HVAC tech without any trade school exp and how I got a software dev job without any college, bootcamp, or professional exp.
Just some advice for any job seekers out there. The more annoying the job application process, the more likely you are to get hired.

My hires are usually those that passes the base reqs and provide that unique something that the cover letter seems to reveal.
