I've applied for a handful of associate-level jobs that are asking for long-form responses to many of the first-round interview things we'd go for. One company asked even for my resume, cover letter, writing samples, references, etc. ALL OVER AGAIN, as well as filling out a 15-question questionnaire they emailed me before an actual interview. After doing all of that, the company did not even schedule an interview for me.
Has anyone else on the job search encountered these or just me? If it's just me, that's fine, and just consider this me ranting
