Is there any software that can autopopulate those re-god-damn-diculous surveys you have to take?

The one I just completed was FORTY SEVEN FREAKING PAGES long.

I sometimes feel sad.

I'm quite often in the job market and I've found applying for jobs online to be a complete waste of time.

Either they close the position after the first three or four responses or you get the other extreme where 50 or 60 people will apply and your chances of even getting an interview are slim.

The best way of getting a job is still just phoning people up and talking to them directly.

Gator will! Plus, they'll give tips about products you're likely to be interested in!

Where are you applying, Toys R Us?

Most places, even gov't have options to save yr name and address and just with a push of a button fill out a pertinent info.

This is what makes applying for civil service so crappy. You have to fill out these 100 question surveys and then wait like three weeks or more to get any sort of notification. I have one job applied for with INS at the time, that I actually took an examine for and supposedly have some mythical job waiting for me once they unfreeze the position.
