I have to print, sign, scan, send 62 pages! For one tiny job. Do these companies not realize how busy we are? I’m fine with a quick contract, background check, deposit form…. but when you start having me print and scan a 15 page test and sign every bottom page of a 29 page contract and write a 3 page professional profile…. my eyes glaze over and I do the math of $X divided by Y hours applying… and I ignore that email.” Response: Susan, learn to ignore the firms with the 62-page application forms. You are spending over $200 a month on ink jet cartridges while your growing children’s clothes are too tight on them. That worn-out printer will soon become your next bread box.
