Boring application tale

Gillian Densmore
To mach Coddy Doder Son's tale of how he fixed power converter:

I just applied a place looking for some creative types. It had 5 serious questions and 4 goofball Qs.  I am (supposedly) one of however many people applied to actually be considered.

What I don't get is though is How many people are getting tired of places that post someone awsome resume, say that's only thing they'll consider, or make you do 200000000 questions before the moon and sun align and pluto stays a planet just so you can etc etc.

I get that you want somehow make sure people that'd work are considered.

Do we  need the BS of 9999 Qs just for starter jobs with crap pay?
Should I stick to places like indeed and universitie? The last 3 I applied to  didn't have have ridiculous number of questions.

Anyway I just thought I'd toss that out there as my boring anecdote to go with Cody's,
