The banalities of key selection criterion.

So...I've just completed another round of answering the above-mentioned. Is it normal for these questions to be so mind-numbing and soul-sapping? Do they ever get better? Will there be a light at the end of my tunnel? Should i just stop being a whinging whiny bitch and suck it up?

To demonstrate the level of wtfness i felt while writing the newest application...one question asked me to demonstrate a 'neat and professional personal appearance'. Corporate World, am i missing something? I was quite prepared to take a photo of myself with my hair tied back and wearing a black suit jacket, and then attaching it to the document...but then i decided maybe that wasn't professional enough. Good thing Google saved the day.

Did you know there are websites out there that provide you with power statements (yup that's what they called it) to answer any and every selection criteria question under the sun? At least now i have a semi-valid and respectable answer. So i may have cheated, but i think it was a valid cheat. Like, a white lie kinda thing. But if the questions continue down a similar vein, i may just decide to say Fuck It, I'm Going Back To Academia. At least i don't have to worry about personal appearances.
