    I get that it’s annoying to have a lot of (obviously) under qualified applications, and someone has to go through them. I just don’t think it’s possible to solve this problem without being unfair to at least some applicants.

    More context

    I was part of a hiring committee for a professor job at an European university last year. The job description was clear enough that you got the vibe “this is a high profile job. Only apply if you think you really are high profile for a European university.”

    And we got soooo many trash applications, we rejected more than 90% in the first screening. Some obvious ones, and some less obvious ones. The obvious ones were the most annoying, because wtf is that application. One that will always stay in my mind is the application of an already established professor, which consisted only of a CV that looked like a 3 year old glued it together and someone replicated that in Power Point in 2003. I was so confused about this application, because how tf did this person think this was enough? They’re an established professor! They really should know how applications work.

    So yeah, I get that there are a lot of annoying applications coming in that feel like a waste of time for everyone. Asking money to apply will not help tho.

    Maybe hire someone to help with the applications…? No wait, then you’d have to go through even more applications. /s
