Filling out forms is difficult

Recently, there have been quite a few positions to fill at Utopian (where I'm working since October). For each position, I created a google form, to make it easier to filter out applicants. What I didn't expect was the fact that apparently, it's not that easy to fill out a form ...

One of the problems was follow up questions, that belonged together. "Have you contributed to Utopian before?" "Yes."

Awesome! In that case, the person can certainly link to those contributions, so I can check them out, right?

Nope. Apparently not.

Well, okay. That can happen. But someone who's (presumably) on the Utopian discord server, and applies for a position with Utopian, knows what Utopian is about, right?

I have to admit, they're not wrong. Not entirely at least. I still would have liked an answer that's a bit longer.

Maybe that's their weakness, writing longer replies. Who knows?

It's certainly not this guy's weakness. He doesn't have any. Point a gun at his head, pull the trigger, and the bullet will just bounce off. You can't kill him, you can't hurt him, he doesn't have any weaknesses. He's unstoppable. He has already hired himself.

Okay, enough of our undefeatable applicant, let's move on to the last two: The Optimists.

Ever felt like you might not be qualified, but you apply anyway?

Just apply. Nobody needs to know why you applied, as long as you can convince them of your abilities with the help of an exclamation mark!

And if everything else fails, just be available. Always. Everywhere. For everyone.

How this poor soul was able to actually open the account on Steemit?

It's several poor souls ^^'

That must hurt :D

Only slightly. Only slightly.

@suesa's wall of shame 😎

The truth is that I can not say much because I do not know what Utopian is about and what are the criteria they handle, but those forms are seen with some unnecessary questions. If I had created those forms I would have asked more direct questions to the point.

Oh, there are several very direct questions. The questions you see above were used to filter out those people, who are completely unusable. And it worked!
