So many job applications suck...i tried to fill out one with a required "social media link" but didn't have any place to enter one. It had "LinkedIn url" and the next line was a text box, it had "github url" and the next line was a text box, it had "social media link" and the next line was just a submit button... There was literally no box to enter a social media url. I tried chrome, Firefox and Vivaldi because the job seemed good with good pay but literally impossible to apply to.

Nevermind I don't know why you need LinkedIn, github, and social media links to evaluate me as an employee but atleast give me a way to enter the data you want.

Maybe they figure if you can't fix the form to make it submit, you wouldn't be up to their standard :-)

Oh I didn't even think of that... That's evil but I kinda like the idea. That said there a notice that there are issues would be nice. Imagine applying for webdev role and on the first page it says "there are several issues with this application, being able to find the errors and correct them is considered a part of the interview process"

Depending on the position I could see any of them, but I can't imagine why you'd need all three for one application. Social Media Director of Programming Middle Management?

Nope, junior software developer of an insurance firm...
