Some companies just want your resume. Other companies want your resume, an online profile that includes all the stuff on your resume, a paper application that includes all the stuff on your resume again, and a background check that includes all the stuff on your resume yet again. Is that a test to see how badly you want the job? Or just a good indication of the prevailing corporate culture? Personally, I’m betting on the latter, and I’m not interested in circus work.
A real life circus is much more fun!
