    I still have a headhunting agency who refers to me as “B42857”. Apparently some bug is getting emails to me addressed to their internal reference number.

    I got an email like this a few weeks ago, and then about 2 minutes later I got a new email with the corrected replacements.

    I replied with a screenshot zoomed in on the “candidate name” bit and left it at that. Didn’t even get a half-assed “lol sorry Bruh”

    So many job applications suck…i tried to fill out one with a required “social media link” but didn’t have any place to enter one. It had “LinkedIn url” and the next line was a text box, it had “github url” and the next line was a text box, it had “social media link” and the next line was just a submit button… There was literally no box to enter a social media url. I tried chrome, Firefox and Vivaldi because the job seemed good with good pay but literally impossible to apply to.

    Nevermind I don’t know why you need LinkedIn, github, and social media links to evaluate me as an employee but atleast give me a way to enter the data you want.

      Depending on the position I could see any of them, but I can’t imagine why you’d need all three for one application. Social Media Director of Programming Middle Management?
