Seems like even though multiple industries were tried these are all for tech positions, right? I wonder how long it would take for non-tech positions. I remember applying online for a minimum wage job at Burger King around 2010 and the application took about 45 minutes. Not only did you need to upload your resume, you need to enter every detail again in a long web form, and then there was a "personality test".

Funny sidenote, my manager told me I was the first application he received that got a perfect score on the personality test. The next best applicant in the queue at the time was 85%. The questions were all things like "If a customer is complaining do you: Smile and listen to their complaint? Or Tell them it's fast food and to deal with it?" or "A customer accidentally included an extra 5 dollar bill when giving you their payment. You could keep this $5 without anyone knowing, do you keep it?" Just all very obvious answers and I don't understand why you wouldn't at least lie.
