Even better, each job app asks for something specific so you have to alter or re-write your cover letter hundreds of times for the hundreds of apps you have to submit to get a single shitty job.
Or they have a questionnaire, so instead of just submitting the cover letter and resume you’ve painstakingly constructed (and probably having to alter those), you have to type a paragraph long answer for each of the questions, amounting to at least another page or two you have to generate every. single. time.
I work in IT and essentially every job app had a questionnaire.
That way when you get a job you feel like you’ve won some sort of dystopian lotto and are just happy you aren’t starving in a gutter. Feels intentional.
