Filling out job applications online...


Recommended Posts

There is a program called "Form Filler" or "Form Filer". I can't remember if it has 1 or 2 "L's". When you have a form come up, you can click on it and it will fill in things like your name, address, just about everything that you have already programmed into it's memory. You might check under CNET and see if it's still out there. Saves you a world of time filling out mundane information.

It used to be free, but not sure if it still is. I'd probably start with "Form Filler" first. (Say that 10 times fast! LOL)

The main thing I dislike about online applications is their length. It seems like a lot of times the apps have fillers designed to lengthen the application and "weed out" those that don't really want to job.

The key is to follow up in person inquiring about the application or at minimum, call about the status. Somtimes it works and other times it doesn't. Honestly, I do the hiring for my department and a simple on-line application gets a glance most times. If nothing jumps off the page, it gets filed. People who call or show up about the status does one, if not two things: It shows that there is a genuine interest (still) and it gets a first, albeit informal, quick interview. You can tell little about a person from a generic on-line application. You can know a lot more from a quick 2 or 3 minute converstaion even over the phone.

I have a stoner friend who has been trying to get an internship (basically he is willing to work for free for a several months at a hotel) just so he can finally get his diploma even though he technically walked 2 years ago, but he just can't understand why no one is returning his emails to general info mailboxes.

Hell yea. That's why they are other peoples feelings and not mine. If they were my feelings then they'd be my business.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
