When uploading my formatted resume to my Apple Jobs profile, I am always presented with a c:\fakepath message and the resume does not upload. How can I rectify this?

Add this one to the list of thinks that don't work on the Apple Job Board. It looks like Apple is using ADP's VE (Virtual Edge) technology to run this system, and I've been stupified by the number of features that are just broken, or so poorly thought out by ADP as to be unusable, (certainly for webkit and mozilla browsers at least: I didn't bother checking IE.)


Here are a few highlights:


  • "My Job List", list of jobs applied for, seems to max out at three. You can apply for more than that, but you can only see the first three.
  • "Search Using Your Resume" feature yields few or no results, even when the pasted text contains only common, exactly matched words like 'Design' or 'Engineer'.
  • The missing resume upload, described in this thread.
  • "My Job Agent" seems to never flag anything, at least it hasn't ever for me despite pretty loose criteria.
  • Agent's created using "My Job Agent" eventually just disappear, which is fine because they don't seem to work.
  • When updating a profile, acknowledging the 'Terms' happens twice in a row.
  • Job seekers can only supply one cover letter despite being able apply for several jobs.
  • Pagination for search results only appears at the top of the page, so it's necessary to scroll down through each page, then up to the top again to proceed to the next page.


Well, I'm sure there are others, but you get the idea. I hope the Apple folks can fix this, (or twist ADP's arm to fix it,) so it better represents the quality of experience that Apple is so respected for consistently delivering.
