I've noticed that there is a growing trend in America. That of not having to deal with hiring people that doesn't fit a pre-concieved stereo type.
I've noticed that at one point in history you could go to a place of business and ask for work. The potential employer would ask a few simple questions and then hire you on the spot or not hire you at all.
Then we went to applications. At first they would talk to you more than look at the application. Then they looked at the application more than they would talk to you. Then they wouldn't even look at you and just look at the application.
Now I've noticed an even disturbing trend of events. That of having a person fill out an online application leaving no way to call them about the job or to even check on what they thought of your application. Sometimes those online applications are detailed, sometimes not.
What do you think of this trend?
