I don't like that either, but the ones that parse your resume to fill
out the form automatically usually don't do it very well, so you end up having to do a lot of it manually anyway.

My son is just starting out in employment with a college degree, and was complaining about having to apply to a handful of companies. He got a
paid internship that's lasted a year and keeps getting extended.

I showed him my OneNote "Job Search" notebook, I sent out something like
130+ resumes after I was laid off in 2016 - and I know people who've
sent many more. I hope I saw all of the poorly done candidate intake
processes then.

One company that was hiring for a video conferencing manager wanted you
to send them a video of you -- mind you, this is for a behind the camera position, not on-camera talent!

Poor Clippy.

I'm sure somewhere in the dark recesses of a neglected hallway in a
disused building in Redmond, Washington, someone's written a Clippy text-to-speech addon for CoPilot.

... Walk without rhythm and you won't attact the worm.

Last I saw, Clippy was hustling as a toilet paper holder in Cupertino.
