  • I'm of an age where once upon a time you used to have to submit a job application on physical pieces of paper, handwritten by yourself, which you took seriously and you wouldn't bother to do unless you really wanted the job.

    I miss those days because shortlisting the hundreds of cut-and-paste bullshit online applications from morons using content they have found on LinkedIn (I can find it too dickhead!), or have just cut and pasted fully from another application they made and not even checked to change the job title and organisation they are applying to is really depressing.

    Also when using LinkedIn content don't just paste the script complete with square brackets around the info you are supposed to add yourself?

  • Is this better or worse than chucking it through chatgpt and sending the raw output?

  • handwritten

    Never would have guessed you were this old.

  • Even with the square brackets redacted or filled in, the sentence means literally nothing. No how or why.

  • Is the salary mentioned up front in the job advert?
    Recruitment is a shite business, I reckon most roles go to someone who knows someone.

  • I only ever used to hire lucky people.

    So divide the applications into two piles, bin one half and select the recruit from those that are left.

    Job done.
