Have you filled out an application on line lately? You should try it if you haven’t, it’s a wonderful experience and one guaranteed to get a rise in your blood pressure!

I’m justifiably happy that I don’t have to deal with the  stunning speed of dial-up as well since they are normally very lengthy.

The last one I filled out had to have been over 30 pages, including a “test” and personal questions. Be sure to have a resume stored while you are at it, yes they also want one of those.

The last application was at least gracious enough to reply, automatically and let me know they were interested and would contact me. I love the waiting game.

I pray for your sake you aren’t like me and have more jobs to list than they have pages for… most of them refuse to let you add on, thus the resume one can only hope they bother to read.

30 pages with only a hope for your trouble, what a concept! I love wasting hours each day on things that I have no idea whether anyone will ever look at, don’t you?

Many companies will only take on-line applications, and around here that means wading through 20 pages of cyber want ads just to get the local impertinence. After cycling through the ads for scientists, nurses, PT’s, OT’s, CPA’s, and a billion other jobs I have no qualifications for I can find the two or three that might allow someone with my lack of social breeding to fit in.

Frustrating does not begin to cover it!
