Stop making people fill out paper applications

I just left a job interview. I applied for this job on Indeed. Indeed has a new “questions from the employer” feature where you don't just submit your resume in one page but fill out work history and I did this. Indeed sent my resume. The HR rep called and asked me to please bring a copy of my resume to the interview. This makes three times I have submitted it online and in person. When I walked in to the office, I was handed a blank job application. This is a serious position, not fast food. The employer now has my Indeed copy, the Indeed questionnaire, my hard copy from home, and their special application. Why do they do this? Are they trying to see who will tolerate their stupidity? I couldn't help but wonder because she flipped through my hand written application and compared it to my resume…


I just left a job interview.

I applied for this job on Indeed. Indeed has a new “questions from the employer” feature where you don't just submit your resume in one page but fill out work history and I did this.

Indeed sent my resume.

The HR rep called and asked me to please bring a copy of my resume to the interview. This makes three times I have submitted it online and in person.

When I walked in to the office, I was handed a blank job application. This is a serious position, not fast food.

The employer now has my Indeed copy, the Indeed questionnaire, my hard copy from home, and their special application.

Why do they do this? Are they trying to see who will tolerate their stupidity?

I couldn't help but wonder because she flipped through my hand written application and compared it to my resume during the interview questions. It wasted my time and hers. I had the exact same information on both, why wouldn't I?

Anyone else seeing this?
