probably one of the most cursed things about the job application process now is that at the end of it, they all want you to join their little human resources social network. i can't fathom why anyone would ever want to do that. if i'm early career, look, i'm getting fragged from multiple angles all day long, i don't need a reminder of every job i didn't get. if i'm late career, i'm using my actual professional network to find jobs, not the Potemkin one dreamed up by the HR department.
