Online applications...

... has anyone ever been hired through one of them? They seem so impersonal, I can't imagine that somebody actually reviews what the people send in...

they do, at least at the firm i work at. its primarily to streamline applications so they can be processed easier and in a more efficient way.

Oh, that's good to hear - so you obviously got in that way? Do you know if it's a computer that sorts people out or a person? I hate it when I upload my resume and then have to type everything in again afterwards...

OMA reviews online applications of every individual diligently. they take long to respond but they certainly go thru every online app.
I don't think corporate firms do the same though. One firm i had applied online to and never heard back. then I sent in a printed application thru a guy who worked there and got an interview call in a couple days !

Right, I also got a response from OMA, but from many others I didn't.
