Anyone else get really annoyed with application forms?!

I mean, having to type out every qualification, school address, home address etc for every job?

My CV clearly states all of this information (albeit school addresses - i'm not sure why a school address would be needed except for references but surely that's under references).

I'm sure they really need the exam board of my History GCSE taken in 2007 - way before my degree.

I much prefer to tweak my cv and cover letter to fit the role than having to spend 30 minutes clicking next, googling for addresses, fitting it into individual boxes, 'Tell us in your own words XYZ? (less than 500 words)' etc etc.

Gets my goat up.

Yes. It’s almost worth it if something comes
from it, but filling in dozens of the things and not even getting an interview is pretty soul destroying.
