The most idiotic hiring process - Chief Bureaucrat New York State Employee Review

NYS pays less than the private sector, offers less remote time, and cannot even be bothered to provide parking. The hiring process is idiotic: You submit a cover letter and resume, then they want you to complete an agency application regurgitating information that is on your resume, and then they want you to complete a NYS application regurgitating information that is on your resume and the first stupid form they had you fill out. Do you remember the percentage breakdown for work tasks for a part-time job you had a decade ago that is completely unrelated to the job you are applying for? I hope so because NYS wants to know! Do you have the contact information for supervisors at a part-time job you worked at over a decade ago even though they have likely moved on or died? I hope so because NYS wants to know! Who do they think is willing to jump through all these hoops for a job? By the time they get back to you, you could have a job in the private sector.
