This mysterious form was presented to me after submitting a job application. Its purpose is not mentioned anywhere, the application itself — which included areas for a resumé and cover letter, so it’s not for that — was complete and had been submitted at that point. What exactly did they expect me to upload? And why are JPGs an option?
My only conclusion was that it was some sort of psychological profiling (note the title: attach files to my profile); when presented with the opportunity to upload anything and attach it to a job application, what will the individual attach? If this was the case, I passed with flying colours: I uploaded a copy of Anna Karenina I downloaded (demonstrates literary depth and that I am an intellectual), a drawing depicting how tidy my bedroom is with a view of my colour-sorted bookshelf (excellent work ethic, very organised, creative), a photograph of my penis (very manly, and works well with women), a zipped backup copy of my entire hard drive (prepared for disaster, aware of the importance of platform agnostic compression, and just in case I lose mine), and a photograph of my ex-girlfriend nude (I am a giver, I get on well with colleagues, I have impeccable taste in women).
I’ll let you know how it turns out, guys.
