Employed people need not apply

The mandatory online job application form used by the Human Resources department of Southern Methodist University requires applicants to state an "end date" for all reported employment, including current employment. N/A, "still employed", etc. are automatically rejected as incorrect entries.

Job seekers who have the misfortune of still being employed in good standing can either make up false information, or not apply for jobs at SMU.

They probably just want you to put the current date down, and they'd understand. After all, they probably don't hire unemployed people at all.

The worst online thing I ever encountered was for each box for "What did you do at that job?" they only gave you 255 characters to describe your functions and accomplishments.
