Spontaneous mid-day rant.

Okay this is just what the title says, a spontaneous mid-day rant. I, like a good percentage of the worlds population, was out today looking for a job, in fact, for the last two weeks I have been out daily with my packet of resumes and every time I go in to an establishment to simply hand the manager my resume what should happen? The dirty basterd makes me fill out an application! WHY!? This is stupid, stupid, stupid! Here is my flashpoint on this subject, now Everyone on the planet will tell you that a good resume is key to getting a job in any market, so you take hours out of your life compiling your skills, abilities, work experience, references...etc. You build a comprehensive fact sheet of your very existence, the kind of thing that if God looked at it he'd say," Oh yes I'd forgotten about that". You probe into the very core of your soul and record a virtual encylopedia of your employment history. It is with this tome in hand that you proudly march into the office of your persective employer and announce, " Here sir is my resume". To which they answer, " That's nice, now would you mind filling out this application"? That is the point of my anger. Why have I wasted all this time making this resume if I am just going to have to rewrite the whole damned thing down again on a seperate sheet of paper with some crap office pen that leaks all over the place, including my resume? This is another one of those foolish displays of jumping through hoops for management that I just hate so much. They don't need the application but they have them so they use them, I find it now to be another tedious time waster thought up by a world over flowing with accountants and paper pushers. Some of the applications have a little bit of merit, with those extra little customer service questions. From now on when I read the sentence, "Describe a time when you handled a difficult situation'" I will laugh and respond, at least to myself, " Well I didn't just cram a bunch of crumpled resumes up your hind end you freakish little gimp". Thank you for your time .
