15 People Fed Up With The Job Application Process
Everyone knows that applying for jobs is pure torture. First, you're forced to utilize fancy language on your resume to describe basic tasks. Second, you have to spend a ridiculous amount of time typing up a cover letter that will definitely never be seen. You also have to upload an extensive resume, and then comes everyone's favorite part: retyping all of the information that was already in the resume all over again into their website. Then, there's weeks of radio silence. If you're lucky, you may get asked to do an interview, and if you somehow manage to succeed at this without getting eliminated for asking about the anticipated salary, then the process can take almost a month to be hired.
