bloody technology

Yes... it's that time of the year. Spamming all of your favourite organisations for work (and also some not so favourable ones). I think it's great how some companies have web-based systems that can take in your CV and churn out the details into the appropriate text boxes in the application process. At least for the details part, but not employment history, it's been pretty accurate. Fantastic.
The part I don't understand is why academic results need to be entered manually. If they're smart enough to rip heterogeneous data out of a CV then surely they can deal with fairly homogeneous data from a spreadsheet.
Of course you're thinking something annoying must've happened otherwise he wouldn't be ranting like this. Well, the page decided to refresh just as I was about 70% done with it. It returned with empty cells.
This wouldn't have happened in an email or snail mail application.
