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?

Man, I swear every single job I've gone for recently has made me question if it was even worth all the effort. It does feel ridiculous spending an hour-plus for just round one. I used to rush through a bunch of apps thinking casting a wide net would work, but honestly, I got way fewer responses that way.
Now I spend most of that time tailoring my resume to match up with the job description, and tweaking the little keywords and phrasing. It's super boring, but I've found it actually makes a difference. Sometimes I even check my resume against tools like ResumeJudge, Resume Worded, or Jobscan to see what the ATS might see, and I fix whatever looks off. Not saying it's magic, but I've noticed better hit rates since I started doing this.
I sometimes wonder if companies realize how much time we're sinking into these apps. Do you usually make tweaks for each role, or blast the same resume everywhere? I'm curious what actually works for other people, because I feel like everyone has some weird trick up their sleeve.
