Im currently on the job hunt. This morning I found a listing on Indeed for a cleaner and submitted a resume to them which they asked for. I then spoke on the phone with the manager who is doing the hiring. She said she would need me to sign some documents and I replied to her “just email me, I'll fill them out immediately.”
First document is an application and requires me to fill in all the Information that is laid out in high detail on my resume. Classic. Ask for my resume that I put a lot of time Into and then ask me to basically rewrite it for them on their app platform. I sent 15 resumes out to different companies this morning so I'm not in the mood to do this again.
Well, turns out it's a janitor position at a hospital which, weirdly enough, wasn't mentioned in the job listing. So I essentially lost interest, but for the hell of it… I wrote in the first box of application: “please refer to my highly detailed resume that you've asked me to submit.” Then I wrote “na” in every other box, accept for the Previous Related Work box in which I wrote “Disaster cleanup.” (Which is true btw).
Like what is the point of a resume if all it does is get you in the door so you can fucking type it all out again. Lol. I'll keep you updated on the response if I get one.
Cheers
