I feel pretty fair in blaming the current "standard" way of submitting job applications at most places. For pretty much every posting I see, I'd be taken to some ugly and bloated page asking me to upload a PDF/DOC which is then parsed out to auto fill some form fields and those form fields mostly don't let me actually communicate what I want to.

I have been looking for a job since the past couple of months, and my experience has basically been just that. Simple job listings with an email to send your details to haven't been a common sight to me, specially at established places[1]. If anyone knows of some service where I can find them, I'd be glad to hear.

[1]: I know the story is about startups, but I presume parent is talking about jobs in general?
