Do I really need to fill in EVERYTHING on this dumb job application form?

If you really want the job, just humor them and fill it out.

I went through all that too. I completed the form, sent it off & was invited to a "group" interview. Twenty of us were in the room & had to play team games & make towers out of straws & pipe-cleaners. It was like an episode of Blue Peter. We had to say why we would employ the person on our left & so forth. I thought it went well but they didn't even bother getting in touch to say "Thanks, but no thanks". How rude!

Funny, yeah some applications do seem silly. Just put what they want to hear. I do understand where you are coming from.

Wow! you're really dying to work at Asda hey.....! Do you know what - you might actually enjoy it. Just because it starts off as a fill-in job where you stack the shelves and shovel sh*it from one dept to another - it doesn't mean that that's the way it will stay. There are careers to be had at supermarkets - product buying, marketing, PR, chanelling, pricing etc, etc For all you know you're other job may fall through and the Asda one is the only one you're left with. Why not go for it and give it your all. It's always worth having another string to your bow and you never know, you might meet someone who can help you later on with other things....never burn bridges, or in this case dismiss them. Yes, fill out all the crap.

just give them answers that you think they will want to hear. If they know that you really don't feel like working there then they won't hire you. Now, don't completely stretch the truth either. Just give them some hints to why you would think the job would be great.

I never understood those questions either. I think my fav. one was..If you were to steal, would it be from a big store or a mom and pop store. I mean really!!!! I never answered that one, cause i wouldn't steal from any store!

Don't choose an option, and write in your own response. It could give you better results than playing it straight, or they could just decide that you won't fit in. Sounds like a stupid test anyway. Is "I try to find shortcuts" a good thing, because you find ways to do your job more efficiently, or a bad thing because you always try to find the easy way out?

Just fill out the parts you want to fill out. I'm sure they'll understand. Then after you're hired, you can just do the parts of the job you feel like doing.

Nah, you don't need to fill it out, hell put "This is stupid" on the application. It tells them you're steadfast in your idiocracy and don't care for company policies, you're going to do what you want and brand everything else as 'dumb'. I'm sure you'll be first in line to be hired. Enjoy sweeping floors at McDonalds.
