I'm working on something - maybe a new talk - I'd like people to share horror stories about trying to apply for (public service) jobs..
Things like @puntofisso 's classic - https://medium.com/@puntofisso/when-i-spent-202-days-in-the-jaws-of-civil-service-recruitment-775ce584a32e or this from Beth Fox on the birdsite https://twitter.com/firebethfox/status/1009127223784329216

Please boost for reach :)
