Job Applications are RIDICULOUS
So in my last post I said I'd write in here more, well that was on June 12th and I haven't written since then, but I am now, so I guess its all ok. I have been trying to find a job and is getting sick of filling out applications. These friggin applications are ridiculous. Many of the applications you fill our online have a 25 to 54 page section of questions about how you think and your personality. That's ridiculous. When I filled out the application to Radio Shack there was a 54 page section like that and it was timed, you only had 55 minutes to finish it. All the questions were multiple choice and each page had 4 questions. First it was stupid you are required to finish it but why is it timed, not that it isn't easy to finish in way less than 55 minutes, but why does it matter if you don't. And a lot of these applications require a couple references, and usually a good amount of experience. OK does it really matter how many references I have if I'm applying to say Hot Topic or FYE? It's friggin Hot Topic! It isn't some kind of fancy or nice store, it's Hot Topic. I HATE these applications. I hope I get a job soon or I'll loose my mind with these applications.

I totally agree with you that the job applications nowadays are totally ridiculous. Today I was filling out an application and when I was almost done, my Internet connection timed out. Applying for a job should take five minutes or less. All you should have to do is just send in your resume. In my opinion, it's the recruiter's job to ask about any information that's unclear.
My website http://blog.johngriggscomedy.com has an article about psychological tests. Check it out if you get the chance!
