@bthall My main frustration (aside from the fact that I've been fruitlessly searching for ages and literally none of my explicit applications have gotten any interest in months) is just the redundant data entry. Even when I'm applying to the same company I have to resubmit my resume, correct the data it wrongly scraped from my resume, affirm that I've never been in the military, am white, am not disabled, provide in my own words the list of skills listed in my resume etc etc.

It's pretty amazing how inefficient trying to get a job is.

If I could be so bold as to make a claim: humans and push based systems are shitty for this. I should be able to define a machine readable resume, even if it means I have to deal with xml, upload it, and then companies can just do queries on that big database of people who want jobs to pull candidates. That'd just work out better for everyone.

Linkedin does this *to an extent* but the damn companies pull the information from linkedin then just make you fill it all in again as you double check for errors!
