not Joel's emphasis, so move the note out from the quote. Add the sub tags to make it not stand out so much, and because the edit is too small otherwise...

Yeah, I'm lazy, I have 100 things to do today and enough time to get to about 10 of them. I simply don't have time to give consideration to someone that can't follow directions. | |

Especially if there is more work to do and more documents to provide. Are you going to call this random person and ask them to also drop off a copy of their passport, their degree, their "why I want to work here" letter? | |
| Jun 14, 2018 at 19:05 | comment | added | user41891 | Yeah, that's great and all for Stack Overflow, but for a lot of employers where I live, they still handle paper and its still acceptable. Laziness seems to be the excuse for not wanting to take the time to review a resume that a candidate dropped off in person. | |
