I feel you there. When I'm on the job hunt, I apply to jobs as part of my morning coffee. I try to keep the mentality that job hunting is a marathon and not a sprint. A few applications a day start to build up as interest starts to happen and I get into interviews.

For the companies that do things to not have me sit there and type up shit over and over, I really try to stress with them to keep that. It probably doesn't mean much, but it makes me feel better that I'm explicitly telling them I appreciated that lack-of-data-entry in their process.
