all of these are great! Close call but I think I like the top one best.

on the practical side, if that kid can get tight groups while bouncing they are a shoo-in winner on America's Got Talent

All I know is that IRL the safest thing to be if he is shooting is the target.

You have no idea how many job apps I've completed that ask the same stupid fucking questions. "Hey, yanno, if you're so lazy you can't read the résume, why should I be applying to you?"

Two other things I loathe about looking for work as a freelance copy editor: (1) Requirements: Must have a graduate degree in the field you're applying for.

"Hey, Einstein. The biochemists who are applying to your journal already have a graduate degree in biochemistry, but half of them can't spell and the rest wouldn't recognize a semicolon if they fell over one. That's why you need me."

The second thing? "You'll be required to take our 30-minute editing test before we can consider you for the shortlist."

I try. But if I find four grammatical errors in the first three questions, and the client doesn't recognize them as errors, I'm not desperate to work for idiots.

Oh, and the ones whose precious test I ace tend to take months to respond to me, give me 2-3 hours worth of work, and then disappear.

The joys of freelancing...

Not to drag the thread off-topic, but it's probably a software thing. Fortunately our online application is pretty simple, with few fields to fill out and a way for you to attach "paper" resumes along with a space for demo reel links.

And people still screw it up.

I have always gotten the idea that the resume is for the person doing the interviews and the tech people, and the application you have to fill out that says everything your resume says is to make things simpler for the bookkeeper and data entry people in HR. I just wish they would leave the application for if I am hired. I really hate the fact I have to fill out my SS number and all the extra tracking info for a job that I am not going to get so that if one day someone hacks your system, or a disgruntled employee steals your HR records my name, SS number, and information is going with them because I applied for a job at your place.

In all honesty I stopped filling out the applications. There is my resume. If you want to hire me then we will talk about going through the motions of a background check. If you are just going to toss my info in a drawer and not see me ever again then I don't need to be putting down all of my information. Interestingly enough that has gotten me some callbacks. It is sort of like how if you play coy with a potential date and seem like you don't need them it automatically makes them wonder why you are so great you don't need them. This works much less often in the employment area, but does great when meeting someone.

Interesting that they're both green.

Well, they still want the avocado.
