But if the application means that you need to fill out a form, your chances to the job near zero, because they will likely collect hundreds of candidates and then filter them in many rounds, in a weeks or months long process. In this time, all the HR employee will be able to show, on what important task he worked, and this is the real reason of the "job offer". Copy-paste some sentences from your previous applications, and although I don't say that it doesn't worth the effort (all offers worth), but don't expect too much. | |

Should I provide both? | |
