When filling out a job application on a company’s site portal, why after attaching a resume do you ALSO have to fill in the form with your experience? Does not filling that in hurt your chances?

Yes because the online form filters the information and looks for keywords. It isn't read by a human - just sorting through the hundreds of applications and making preliminary eliminations. Its actually helpful to have both. Use the online form to use all the keywords you can find from the job application, website, etc. And use your pdf resume to write what you actually want to have the hiring manager read

I believe the fill in portions are for that company’s automated job screening software to use. Not filling them out risks your application getting trashed without review.

Applying through a company web portal helps that company understand if you are just some hapless schmuck off the street with no connections. It's very efficient.

Yes it’s annoying but having that kind of portal is a good indication that candidates have to make it through an automated process looking for keywords entered in specific form fields. Your uploaded resume is only seen AFTER you pass through the system

In hindsight, Existentialists are not the best people to read during dwindling confidence xD. Great book though otherwise
