I would just like to say ...

...that Peoplesoft needs some quality time with a spiked club and a cattle prod.  It's a classic example of job application "aids" that create ten times as much work for the applicant as a simple tool that just does the job, in order to collect a huge amount of information that's not relevant for what you're trying to do, scattering the whole process with mandatory fields with a fixed list of response options none of which is applicable, just so that the selection decisions can be made by some moron who knows nothing about the job but has a checklist of which buttons to click on the search form.

And as if the inherent vices of peoplesoft weren't bad enough, the infernal piece of crap is timing out my session every time I pause to think, because its 60-minute inactivity timeout is going off every 60 fucking seconds.

Sounds like it's another case of "a bad solution all round, foisted by managers and salesmen upon the people who actually have to use it".
