Frustration when applying for jobs

Frustration - I know the job search process is inefficient for job seekers and therefore frustrating. Just be mindful that it is not "you". With that said, this tidbit I came across the morning can help you maintain your perspective:


Lack of Flexibility During the Application


Job seekers are often using their mobile devices while scrolling the many open positions on job boards and company websites. Now imagine finding the ideal role and realizing the application will require an applicant to change devices to complete the application. Allowing candidates, the option to apply via mobile device can broaden the talent pool. Channels used to receive applications or resumes should be expanded to include formats used most with mobile devices.


After one submits a resume, the potential employer should now have all relevant information for their employment background. Requiring employment history to be filled out after a resume is uploaded is frustrating to candidates and will result in candidates abandoning an application.
