I am absolutely flabberghasted. This is on the company's job board, on the company's website. They give you a QR Code to "scan" to apply! On a web browser. The image of the QR code is NOT clickable. There is no way you can get the URL without scanning the code. The text that says LinkedIn and Instagram ARE clickable. They even have a clickable text to download the image of the QR code, which gets you no further. So many clickable text links, but not one single clickable link to open the freaking application page on their own website!

So you're on your computer, with all your PDF files, your resume, your cover letter, your portfolios, etc., and they expect you while browsing to their website on your computer, to take out your cell phone, open the camera, point it at your computer monitor, and open the job application page on your PHONE instead of your computer?!

But wait, even worse... what if you're on your phone itself?! How the fuck are you supposed to scan it then, with a second phone? You need at least TWO devices, even if you're browsing from the same type of device needed as the end device. I just tested this out from my phone too, and sure enough there's nothing I can do.

WTAF? This job I'm looking at is for a visual designer. My question is, why the fuck aren't they hiring a new WEB designer? You know, so they can actually receive applications for other positions?

(I've actually done that and i...
