Like seriously, what is even the point of uploading a resume if the online app is going to make spend hours filling in the EXACT same info anyways? Like why even ask me to upload a resume? Especially when they never call you or give you so much as an email to see if anyone even looked at it. Honestly it makes you lazy and anti social as an employer when you walk in all dressed up with resume in hand only to be hit with “we wont even consider/ see you unless you go online.” At least when I hand them a resume in person I can see who they are and I KNOW they at least glanced at the first page.
Now I just ask the employer upfront “If I go online and fill it out, will I get a call?” and if they give me any sort of answer thats vague or not a straights “YES, we will call you” I just don't even bother.
All these Employers whine that “no one wants to work” but refuse to have any leeway or lower their expectations because they are too stubborn trying to find there perfect robot, or don't want to invest in training someone new. Like I get so infuriated going out to town, seeing a big WERE HIRING sign thats been there for months, knowing you only applied to work there like 12 times and never got so much as a “thank you for your time applying” Copy/Paste email. Especially when the offering starting pay shit anyways.
