I know it's unlikely to change anytime soon, but I’m feeling really frustrated with universities, colleges and trade schools that still require paper submissions through JREC-IN.
It feels like a pretty good litmus for institutions that are stuck in the past, clinging to old methods for the sake of tradition and tied to inane bureaucracy. Pretty glaring red flag.
Then, they have the audacity to ask me to painstakingly copy-paste my resume into their slightly different, slightly shittier Excel template (shudder), print it, burn it on to a CD (what year is it again?), and include it in the envelope!?!?!
Am I the only one who finds this maddening? Can't anything be done? I'm certain they're missing out on potential matches when the process is just too time consuming to even bother with.
That's it for me. I'm done. Open tab, scroll to the bottom, mail submission? = close tab [ X ]
