How do you apply to jobs when literally every posting forces you to create an account, input fields and fields of info, cover letter, clicking through a bunch of pages, and now you'll have to keep track of all the jobs you applied to.

Same!

Use the autofill function in your browser and that should at least take care of the name/address boxes. A lot of the fields are the same as your resume so just copy/paste.

Agree on filing all the emails away, and keeping track in a word doc or one note

Looking for a job is a full-time job in itself. You have to customize every cv and cover letter and keep track of job apps... Which I do through an excel sheet. Oh and don't forget to do whatever you can to expand your network, the hidden job market is even bigger than the advertised one.

Takes a lot of time for sure. I have a word doc where I put a bullet with the link of each job I apply to so I remember to check dashboards and whatnot

My wife and I are considering relocating to a new city. I’ve been working with a recruiter who (I thought) gave me a good lay of the land. Which firms to meet with re lateral opportunities, which to avoid, etc. I’ve since spoken with a friend who has connections at other firms that could be a better fit. Do I bring in my recruiter or reach out through connections? Is using a recruiter beneficial to me, or am I better off on my own? How does their fee play in to what I could get as a package?

Dear Amdocs Hiring Team, Thanks for the worst experience. You guys took almost 2 months for hiring process, asked for all the documents, even shared the CTC breakup over email and at last after multiple follow ups over calls and emails, you replied by stating that "Unfortunately , we are not moving ahead with your candidature at moment." When I asked the reason, you are clueless till now what to say? You guys even don't have enough courage to respond my calls. #Amdocs #Hiring

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
