I applied to a London based digital agency. In return they sent me a 10-page document (!) asking me stuff like what were my previous three addresses ?

It was like filling up a visa application.



Was the position good enough for you to fill out that form?


There are no positions which are good enough to complete such a form.

Like a poster mentioned elsewhere: the interview process is also a strong indicator of the internal atmosphere, too. I don't want to work for any company which believes such a form is a good idea.


Some part of me wants to believe that it is a weed out on the other side - 'if you value your time so low as to fill out these forms, we know we can pay you jackshit and get away with it'.
