Excuse me while I vent...

You know what, I am SICK of these stupid job search websites that require you to upload your resume and then you spend the next 20 minutes fixing all the entries that they autoload. 

And what about the one that makes you fill in 30 different fields to give the most irrelevant information. You really need to where I found out about the job listing?  REALLY?  And then you need 3 drop down boxes for me to tell you?  But you don't care if it is Other?

And how come you can't tell that I am from Staten Island, NY if I give you my zip code?  And then if I tell you I am from Staten Island, NY, How come you don't know I am from the US???  Seriously.  Is there a Staten Island, NY in Mexico or Uganda?

And why do these website companies sell their HR tools to EVERY single company, but pretend like they never saw me before when I go on to the next site?  You know I just filled in your annoying forms on the last job I applied to...

And why does Beyond.com send me the same attractive job every other day, but when I click on the link the job is no longer available? 

Okay.  I feel better now.  Back to more positive thoughts.

  1. I agree with you Cheeky! No wonder so many people have given up the search. It can be mind numbing.
