Deviously Designed Deltek Talent System Throws Tantrums

This episode was inspired by SenatorJPO spending more time than he would have liked -- than anyone should need -- on attempting to send a job application online! (You thought he retired as a job seeker? Then, who would review these crummy-crumb applicant tracking systems?!?)

The Absurd Job Vacancies (AJV) Blog makes a guest appearance because reviewing asinine job boards and the application portals that feed them is what AJV Blog is all about. The screen captures used in this article are, of course, used -with the express permission- of Absurd Job Vacancies.

The poorly designed Deltek Talent System throws quite a few unpredictable errors. In fact, one could argue it was -deviously designed-, i.e. intelligently but maliciously designed.

[Screen captures were already made during application, but need to be uploaded.]

SenatorJPO's Workaround for Deltek Talent System Validation Errors

Having described the erratic behavior of the Deltek Talent System, SenatorJPO shows you how to circumvent via a time-tested trick. Make the otherwise super-formidable SNAFUs seem SAWFT with this surefire workaround!

The key lies in -not- uploading your resume; then -entering only one- position title in your work history; and then -pasting- your resume into the text area. The complete walkthrough is in the podcast.
