    I hated this shit when I was on the job hunt. Turned a 5 minute application into a 30 minute one.

    Then multiply that by a bunch per day.

      I got frustrated and eventually just skipped any that did this. If my resume isn’t sufficient, why do you accept it at all? Just don’t take the resume, or don’t take the form. Pick. Not both.

      Not worth it. The places that did this never called me anyway. Never.

        My best job ever called me, went over my resume and expanded on it a bit, and offered me the job same day.

        My second best job received my resume, said “You seem like a good fit, come in for an interview” and a week later did an informal vibe check interview before hiring me same day

        My absolute worst job had this resume bullshit, 3 rounds of interviews and an unpaid training day before offering me half of what the website said; i only agreed because the alternative was $0 and eviction.
