Subject: [Weird thing of the day] Job application stupidity of the day

Greetings.

The job application site I am working on right now allows for two sorts
of résumés: ones which are uploaded, and ones which are built by
painfully filling out forms. The latter kind is only really useful for
those who have no résumé or CV and need to create one. The former is
what everyone else has. I have updated my résumé/CV since the last time
I applied on this site, so I uploaded the latest version of my CV.
Unfortunately, the job I am applying to requires a “built” résumé, so I
am painfully reentering information which I have already uploaded to
this site. If they require a “built” résumé, why did they bother
accepting an uploaded one in the first place?

Somehow I am getting a paranoid fantasy of job application stupidities
being deliberately created so that it is hard to get people to apply or
at least apply correctly. This makes the organization foisting
stupidities upon job applicants reluctant to fire anyone, as they will
have a difficult time finding a replacement.

Peace, and all of you looking for a job, hang in there.

Aaron
