I even called a lot of friends to let them know aboutthe application

They made it but I didn't

I spent a lot of time too looking for their contact info

Didn't get any real thanks

They told us the application wouldn't take hardly any time at all when 
compared to the previous disaster
of an application they had.

You can't go over a certain character limits for the answers, so that 
actually
doesn't take as long as the other parts of the test.

They say 6 hours, but that's just the one section.  You also have to
submit a resume.  I highly recommend using their format just because  they 
like looking at something they recognize.
