There's nothing quite like spending days fine tuning a CV to make it as information rich and digestible to read as possible, only to then have to spend hours filling out the companies own shitty application form so they can search for useless tech buzzwords and lose all of the context that a good CV can have.

This is when I paste the job description below the text resume.

you’re a genius ;)

Duuuuuuuudeeeee

thank you

Plus, since they never tell you why you weren’t selected anyway, for all you know there are problems in their recopied version (which is probably all they read). Would you even know if they just failed to store half your work history in their database?

Yep, this really makes me mad. 10 years of job history plus 3 references and I have to go searching for addresses for all the jobs and dig through my phone for people's phone numbers. And then I never hear from them...
