Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?

Ignore them until you've got the important stuff taken care of? I don't see what the problem is since you said the questions and issues were trivial, not super time-sensitive. "Okay, in the middle of XYZ right now, will follow up on this once I'm done."

I get the logic, but I struggle with that in practice. Those “quick” asks rarely feel trivial in the moment. I am trying to get better at saying I will circle back, without feeling like I am being difficult.
I sometimes have to lock myself in my office and get that high-impact work done. If my door is open, then I am constantly bombarded with things that don't even really need my attention. Don't beat yourself up, though; it happens to all of us.

The door analogy is accurate. I do not even have a physical door, so the interruptions are constant. It makes me realise I need to create boundaries intentionally, not just hope for quiet time.
Create a list and put the smalls on it then when it is full take a day or 2 to focus on the list.
I use my AI agents now to handle most of the smalls. Might want to let you AI genetic system of choice manage the list and perform the actions for you.
