[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 192480, member: 30779"] Here are some of mine: [LIST] [*]forms with mandatory fields that shouldn't be mandatory (I didn't do an SQE prep course, stop asking me) [*]errors in underlying data feeds that the suppliers refuse to fix (e.g., missing schools) [*]brittle in-house application systems which ask lots of questions but flake out during submission [*]third-party application systems that have you re-enter identical data for multiple firms [*]ridiculous recruitment games testing sub <100ms reaction times and claiming this represents your ability to work under pressure [*]spelling mistakes and other errors in the third-party recruitment tests [*]having all 3000 applicants go through multiple involved stages of computerised application before a human even looks at it [*]not replying to applications at all, or till after the relevant date (e.g., the vacation scheme start date) [*]seeing the same right/wrong test questions being used for multiple law firms [*]zero feedback/indication of whether you passed or failed the computerised test [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
