lmao @ the asian woman.

personally I've always hated job sites where you have to "create an account" just to apply for a job. if it's not a job i'm particularly interested in, I usually just skip over that opportunity.

EDIT: oh yah, and I really dislike flash on sites. flash really serves no purpose and makes things more complicated than they need to be, and takes longer to load.

I'm just curious - how would you apply for a job without creating an account? Seems like there'd be no way to transmit your resume...

email them a word document. that's pretty much the globally accepted format.

Ah, gotcha. That's not standard practice for large corps, I've noticed, and I think it's because a single email is so easily lost, isn't centralizd, and isn't searchable for other jobs. Makes sense though, from a candidate perspective.

Yah I can understand why they do it, but it is just a hassle to have to create an account, and typically they will ask you stupid questions that are required.

Actually on monday I was doing some of this stuff and found a job on monster.com I thought I'd send my resume to, so I went to their website and was creating an account, and they had all of these HTML errors and I was getting all of these invalid values in fields when I went to submit.

It had fields for "Country", "Location", "Zip Code" ... it wouldn't take USA or US in the country, only United States of America. I had no idea what to put in "Location" and ended up giving up because I couldn't have it accept what I put in there. It was a royal pain in the ass and I literally just gave up and did not submit my resume to them.

Yep back when I was doing job searching I found online apps to be such a huge pain in the ass. A couple of the companies' apps were just ridiculously long, Caterpillar for one. And I had the same issues with stupid form boxes not accepting entries. I had one form give me a cryptic error message and I fixed it by trial and error eventually finding that it didn't like the # sign in my address. Worst. Invention. Ever.

Companies also need to get WAY more specific in the "location" field for the job location. USA isn't going to cut it folks; I care where I live. And unless I'm real desperate I'm not going to spend 30+ minutes filling out a form with a job location of USA. Why is it so hard to say where your locations are?

How's the location list and location display on our site, for you? That's one thing I do have some control over.

Location list looks fine to me. I like how in the advanced options you can pick multiple locations.

New job site for my company. I had little to do with it, just did some technical testing prior to go live. If any of you remember the navigation fogged green site with the flash sidekick and the pictures of the terrier, I think this is a notable improvement. At least this site has menus...

I'm curious what you think but also, if you see jobs on there that interest you, shoot me a PM and I'll send your resume directly to the recruiters.

Very professional looking! I like it a lot.
