The Perils of Please Attach Your Resume

You ever notice how job applications ask for your entire job history, but when you try to add an attachment, it's like you're trying to launch a rocket? File too large. Really? You want my life story but not in HD?

References, Really?

They ask for references like they're planning a heist. Give us three contacts who can vouch for your existence. Sure, let me just call my childhood goldfish and see if it remembers my work ethic.

The Endless Assessment Tests

You finish the application, and then they hit you with an assessment test. Rate your problem-solving skills. Well, I managed to finish this application without throwing my laptop out the window, so... A+?

The Why Did You Leave Your Last Job? Dilemma

The worst question: Why did you leave your last job? How about because I ran out of creative excuses for being late? Traffic was backed up because of a rogue squirrel parade.

Skills? What Skills?

You ever look at the skills section and wonder if they're hiring for a job or auditioning for 'America's Got Talent'? I can juggle three flaming hoops and manage your social media. Hire me!

The Salary Expectations Roulette

They want you to list your salary expectations, but won't even tell you if there's free coffee in the break room. I expect to be paid in coffee beans and the occasional pat on the back.

The Maze of Cover Letters

You know what's worse than a maze? Trying to write a cover letter. Dear Hiring Manager, I'm the perfect fit for this job because I can't afford another year of instant noodles and sleepless nights.

The Overachieving Job Application

Why do job applications ask for your greatest achievements but don't have enough space for my participation awards? I got a trophy in 4th grade for Best Attendance — and that's relevant!

The Eternal Email Loop

After spending an hour on a job application, they send an email: We've received your application. Please click the link to confirm. Why? To confirm that my hopes and dreams are now in your hands?

The Tell Us About Yourself Trap

Job applications be like, Tell us about yourself in 150 characters. Oh sure, let me just condense my existential crisis and mid-life dreams into the length of a tweet. #hireme?
