    Would actually love to do that. I just have an extreme aversion to knowingly shooting myself in the foot

      Me too. The only jobs I apply to are ones I really want (obviously), so doing this just hurts my chances of getting them.

      But I absolutely hate this bullshit.

        Eh, sometimes I apply to jobs I don’t really care too much about, just to go through the process and see what the market is like without any stress. I can recommend. And once that even turned out to be a good thing and I stayed, who knows.

        Before anyone complains, the companies put out job descriptions they’re not really serious about either, sometimes to just meet candidates they could maybe use elsewhere, sometimes just to make themselves look good towards their competitors. Play that game, get your time wasted for my “training”, I don’t feel to t bad about that.

          Some companies and institutions also have policies that they have to put out a public employment ad even if they plan to promote someone internally.
