Resolved Question

Reapplying for my old job?

How ridiculous is bureaucracy when, in having to reapply to my old job, I have to give references and the only reference I can give is from... that same job! This kind of stuff with filling in forms really annoys me. They know me, they know what I have done and can do, but they cannot rehire me until we go through this merry-go-round. It really stresses me out.

Perhaps more of a rant than a question, but it is ridiculous right? I'm not just imagining it!

Don't take it personally these forms are often standard and don't apply to specific situations, particularly with a large organisation.
Everything has to be on a level playing field for you and any other applicants, otherwise they can be accused of favouritism. Just answer best you can and send them in.
I get annoyed at irrelevant questions in forms too.
But try to see the big picture, the form wasn't created just for you, but tries to cover a wide range of applicants.
