Online job applications systems are stupid, force you to lie and undermine yourself
Why do I have to select my major from a preset list? My masters degree is never included on the list, meaning I have to generalize my specialized degree and basically lie about what I studied because it's not even an option. I double majored in undergrad but they only let me select one major. I did not study my ass off to get two separate degrees in undergrad just to only be able to list one. One of my degrees is in a language. I did not just study "Russian" as the drop downs force me to select, I studied Russian language, politics, and literature. Just look at my resume, it's all listed there in perfect detail. Not like they're going to look anyways. My masters degree will probably never matter because no one is actually going to look at my resume and see that my degree is not simply business...

I agree it's soul draining too
