What does Sup Forums think of online job applications?

Theyre getting me fucking nowhere

In many ways they suck. Lets ignorant niggers hqve aomeone else fill out the application making them look like a good prospect because it isnt littered with spelling mistakes and you cant call them out on it. With a written application you can call them out on the nice neat handwriting not looking anything like the scratches they call words.

>job application
why

I understand the irony of my mistakes but point stands.

>With a written application you can call them out on the nice neat handwriting not looking anything like the scratches they call words.
People born in the 90s grew up with computers. Bad hand writing simply means they spent more time typing school assignments on a computer, and less time on outdated forms of generating text.

If you were my employee, I'd immediately fire your ignorant and delusion ass.

your point is stupid bullshit

The phone interview sorts that all out. I can tell in the first 20 seconds of talking to someone if I will hang up and forget they exist.

I also dont call people with names I know arent white. Tyrone Johnson, Hernandez, Gonzales, Patel, etc

Tfw online applying for jobs which have little social interaction because of social anxiety, but i know i would have more success doing it in person

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

nah kdding.

I would strangle you for that Nesquik on laptop

A 30-45min personality test that is only scanned for keywords. Waste of fucking time and effort.

Definitely a manager since you are missing the fucking point. Also I grew up in the 90s and we had to hand write throughout schools. It is the dumb fuck kids who grew up in the 2000s and can't get off there cellphones that didnt learn how to write. Have fun hiring people too dumb to fill out an application and wondering why your older workers are getting pissed at lazy new people.

Online job applications are the most impersonal system there is to a job hunter.
Online applications are usually accompanied by a 30 question multiple choice survey where people are weeded out, despite the fact that the questions and answers are black and white with no grey area.
Attaching a resume usually won't do you any help.

It's better to print it out, fill it out and take it to the manager, introducing yourself. Dress well and be groomed.

>there
>knows how to write

A polite way to tell you to fuck right off

>obviously never seen a chimp trying to right its own name.

They are the most impersonal thing ever invented. Fuck getting to know somebody over a piece of paper. Think about it.

When you send a job application online, it tells the boss/employer that this fat shit is too lazy/incompetent to get off his ass, go to the actual store and meet with the employer face to face.

You will NEVER, get a job if you apply online rather then face to face.

Waste of time , been employed 20 years , never ever filled one In

A lot of places are moving to online only for the application. Makes it easier for a business to aort through looking for keywords and saves money.

You clearly have not applied for jobs lately...

Yeah, this is true...

But even so, it's so fucking stupid. How the fuck are they going to know how you present yourself in person? No matter how good your resume or app looks, they could have had someone else do that shit for them. I think it's ridiculous that companies are moving towards this. Our society is going to be even more fucked if every single company starts doing this.

Wanting to apply to a place, should I write my own CV or use a template?

Well that sucks. I have a very hispanic first and last name but you wouldnt know that if you met with me face to face, much less if we spoke over the phone.

Makes sense, since not many used online applications 20 years ago.

I hate them.
The internet with freeze or cut off when you've spent an hour doing crap... or the website will have a problem.
I miss writing with a pen.
I used to love filling out application forms by hand.

Oh, and the interview being used as the second step in the process is stupid too... using a resume and an app as the first impression is most definitely judging a book by its cover.

I'm not too sure what you're arguing about but I do agree this online applications are complete bullshit. However, if you go anywhere looking for a job nowadays in person, they will tell you politely to fuck off to their website.

Yeah they do tell you that. I always feel like giving them the finger and telling them to fuck off right back at them.

Or bad handwriting could simply be dysgraphia

checked, re

They are a waste of your time OP.

Yeah you're right. My solution is to just apply to places that don't tell you to go fuck off online.

id rather play computer games than spend my time applying

This.

Lets say I want to apply to a hotel/restaurant as a porter/drinks servant. Where would I go or who would I talk to in order to give them my CV? chances are if it's just the secretary they'll bin it I'm sure.

>What does Sup Forums think of online job applications?

You don't have to leave the house to drop your application into the mail. Saves you time and money.

>With a written application you can call them out on the nice neat handwriting not looking anything like the scratches they call words.

Who hand writes applications? Even in the pre-EDP-age they were write with a typewriter.

>inb4 applying as lumberjack

>Online job applications are the most impersonal system there is to a job hunter.

Why? You mail them your letter of application, your CV and a copy of your credentials with a picture.

The only thing that is fucking annoying is when it's a large company and they have a career portal where you have to type your whole résumé into a fucking input mask and chose your qualifications and experiences from drop down menus.

>>Butthurt anons
>>Don't know how to fill out online app.
>>Autism kicks in
>>Assuming they'll do better during interview

Just got hired yesterday from an online application. Don't sound like a dumbass and use common sense. Follow up with your interview and sound confident and if you're going to do a shitty job then don't waste their time and sell crystal meth, you'll make more money.

>Just got hired yesterday from an online application.

For what?

Del Taco in Riverside County California
Not like it's really hard to get hired there it's fucken fast food but still the same rules generally apply anywhere

It's a way of over complicating employment applications that keeps useless parasites ("Human resources") comfortably employed at the expense of people with real skills having worse prospects because some moron is scanning their application for buzzwords instead of someone who actually manages the workplace meeting applicants and choosing them on an objectively superior basis.
