Online applications are indeed ridiculously long, yet somehow, when a recruiter contacts you from LinkedIn or other method, they do not require any of this info. No formal resume, no references, nothing. A large part of the problem in the us is the required "Voluntary Self-Identification" information. It is voluntary, but it still needs to be filled out, even if the response is Decline to Answer. Should be optional. Companies are now taking an extra step and asking about pronouns and other identifiers, beyond what is required by law. I just want to complete this application and move on. |

This is one of the reasons I don't fill out job applications anymore. If there is a company I would like to work for I find their recruiters on linkedin and reach out to them. Though my past few jobs have come from either a recruiter messaging me with a position and me messaging them with any open positions they are trying to fill. The last time I filled out a job application I was in college applying to my first tech job.
