Unicru - the total crap job application that everyone seems to be hating. I hate Unicru, and it seems a bunch of commenters here hate Unicru too! Show Kronos (the owners of the not-so-lovely unicru boredom-creating, not-job-getting fest) and leave a comment detailing how much you dislike the Unicru job application.

I have applied for about three jobs with the Unicru application and I have learned to avoid any job whose application is through Unicru. I am a person who does not have much time. I can devote probably 10 minutes to a job application, but when it gets to be repetitive questions that go on for nearly an hour, I've got to call it quits. When I am looking for a job, I look several places and when you get to filling out multiple Unicru applications, it gets old really quickly. It's not that I'm lazy either, I'm more strapped for time.

I'm a good worker and pay attention to detail, but I'd rather explore my options and apply to multiple places in the same amount of time it would take to fill out a Unicru application.

Unicru asks a lot of questions that seem pointless, but it's really a personality test to find the most bubbly, energetic person. They give all applicants a score and forward the scores to the business you applied to. The business then interviews the highest scorers. What if you're a good worker and just have a few personal flaws (like everyone does) Honestly, do companies really believe that the highest scorers are great people... to me they sound too good to be true. I have the integrity to not lie on the Unicru application and because of that, I get excluded from a job. That sounds pretty backward to me. I just think it's wrong that a personality test determines whether or not you get a job. It's like companies don't want diversity, they all just want the same person... just in multiples. Why don't all the companies just start hiring Unicru robots?

I think diversity makes things fun, you get to learn different points of view and different ways of getting the same work done. I think different people doing work in their own way is more efficient than everyone doing it by the book especially when new ways don't deviate from policy. This is something that apparently Kronos with their Unicru test don't believe in!

So before filling out an on-line application, I check to see if it's Unicru, if not then I'm happy. If so, I'm not going to waste an hour of my time filling out an application for a job I'm not going to get because I am not a liar, I'm not going to make up a personality type that no-one has just to appease a company. That really sucks for them though, I'm one hell of a worker. Eh, no worries, do I really want to work for a company that wants a Unicru type person? What ever personality type that may be!

Let's think about the word Unicru, though.
Uni = one
Cru = Crew

One Crew.... hmmmm, so basically companies use Unicru to hire a bunch of yes men? That's not good.

Furthermore, have you ever noticed that as a customer to Best Buy (they use the Unicru application), you have a question and every single worker is near the camera area... then you... with that glisten in your eyes... they see you coming... this customer has a question... And they all scuttle away. Yeah, good job unicru!
Please comment, I am interested in what everyone else thinks about unicru. I think Unicru sucks, but hey, you might like it... although I haven't seen a positive comment about Unicru yet!
