Things that annoy, application edition:
Web forms that require letters of recommendation to be uploaded as files. I do not have pdfs of them to upload. I will gladly direct Interfolio to send an email containing them, and in some (few) situations I will ask my recommenders to email them in themselves. But the alternative in this case seems to be giving each of them my login and password and instructing them to upload the files themselves. If I suggested that, they'd probably mutiny, kind souls though they all are.
On the other hand, thank you for doing everything over the internet and thus making this application cost me $0. This is the signal achievement of the last three years of job markets: I am spending a small fraction of what I used to because almost everything is online now.
