Yeah, it's a nightmare looking for jobs online right now. You could not design a system more unfriendly to neurodivegent people if you tried, it's miserable to use your limited focus to put together a very effortful thing and it's just being tossed in the blender.
You're expected to tailor your resume, re-enter your resume information, pass personality tests, prove you have years of experience for an entry level position, make yourself maximally available for interviews, risk scams and exposing your information to botnets, write cover letters that are never read, do research into the company to be prepared to show interest in it- only to just...

The current online application processes are terrible
