Especially with the rise of “ghost postings” so quantity over quality is greater than ever these days

    Maybe it’s the shit market that I’m applying to, but when I apply for a retail job, they want a fully filled out application (that auto fill always Borks, so I have to type everything in manually) as well as a cover sheet and some places want you to take a personality quiz that you have to pass for hr to even see your application. I couldn’t imagine applying to 4 jobs a day, let alone 40.

    I imagine we are talking about corporate postings where you just paste a link to LinkedIn and that does most of the work?

      if indeed doesn’t allow me to quick apply, it’s gotta be a dream job to even want to go to their site and do even more work.

      Jesus that sounds so demeaning. I haven’t had to apply for a job in about 15 years now. All networking, and I was poached and offered my current job. Union now, so I’m set. I don’t remember having to jump through so many hoops when I was younger and applying for a job, but recently I passed by a Wendy’s and there must have been 50 people lined up outside with resumes because there was a job posting. That many people for one burger job, that’s hard times.
