So I am applying for jobs and there is this company i stumbled upon...in their job application they literally ask you for your grades in school. They require you have a Bachelors degree btw. So what the fuck? And they also require you to justify why your grades are low if they are low. Bitch I am in my mid 20s with a degree, why tf my school grades matter? it is called "Canonical" and you can see the application on their website btw. Fucking idiots.

I had to provide my high school and college transcripts for my job. I also had to list every job I've ever had along with the names of my bosses going back to the beginning of high school.

The application and interview were very difficult, but it was for a dream job so I didn't mind.

Damn that's almost more paperwork than getting a clearance.

You ain't lying. I'm contractor level though so it was not more than some interviews with previous relations .
