50 Posts From People Fed Up With Unrealistic Requirements And Expectations When Trying To Find A Job

👌

The most frustrating of all!!. Should be higher.

YES! The only reason they don't include it is because they want to try and pay you as little as they can get away with.

THIS!!!!

So accurate it hurts. Don't forget the mountain of student loan debt because tuition inflation is so much higher than normal inflation. I started college in 2008 and since then the tuition cost has gone up almost 1.5 times.

That is absolutely epic. :D

You should have applied, for the bants.

It is normal to discuss salaries. I am an employer, had some interviews as I hired three people (small office). While I liked their enthusiasm and their willingness to work with me, I always told them the net salary at the interview. It isn't fair to find out your salary only after working for a month there.

I'd like a gameshow type deal where a bunch of folks from different countries try the job applications from around the world.

shoudn't this be much higher? so funny!

We call it internship culture.

A lot of the content on LinkedIn is so pretentious it feels like a social network for bullshitters

I like this idea. But for now there is Glassdoor

LinkedIn has its own language

Don't forget that this is an entry level job with the corresponding salary.

Ah...the circle of life!

and also you're working in an office full of karens and kyles (male karens)

"Firings will continue until morale improves", I hung that sign on my door once. Didn't know then but it was a few weeks before I left that employ.

But if they fire you, are you entitled for compensation?? O.o

Nice!

According to my annual evaluations, I am the most efficient employee in my team (my manager wants to promote me). I am severely underpaid, not only for the work I provide but also compared to my colleagues. I asked for a raise and they denied, saying that I should be happy I have a job at this day and age, so I decided to underwork so it matches my salary. I'm still and by far the most efficient employee T.T

Funny, did s/he expect basic human decency from a hedge fund? That's adorable.

thisssss.

Speaking as someone who once worked in admin at a recruitment agency, avoid recruiters like they're coming at you wearing a suit of flaming bees. They give ZERO f***s about you, and keep people holding out hope they'll get jobs that don't even exist. I have so many horror stories.

People praise me for working at a homeless shelter. I work there because I don't want to live there.

Maybe that's how the CIA recruit these days? 🤔

Well I would have had 9. I started programming when I was 11. More difficult if you are counting employment, as like most people I graduated at 21.

I honestly learned to not casre about this. You don't come back with feedback in 5 working days, I move on. I had cases where the feedback came after about 3 weeks saying ok you made to the next stage. And I was like do I know you? Don't take c**p folks.

This might actually do the job.

As long as you shut them up!

This annoys the f**k outta me! 🤬

Yes, but you still haven't answered the question... hmm??

Because you fire them for the most absurd reasons.

Literally it’s the only way when you’re in that position. Lie lie lie.

Re: thank you so much. Saved another quit and job search.

Who gets Ramen cups?? I sure don't....

Or, work hard play hard means work a 60 hour week, then participate at least weekly in late night boozing with your colleagues because if you don't, you're not a team player.

In a better place, with a better salary and thinking about you, still stuck in this same position.

Whats the difference?

I worked as dispatcher for a trucking company and when we booked loads they emailed them to us so we could print them out to sign then fax them back. I always wondered if there was an easier way to do it...

This is sick.

I loved that interviewers facial expressions.

How can it recommend you should write more when it requests a haiku? Leaving aside the fact that asking for a haiku was ridiculous to start with!

I only use Linkedin to keep in touch with peoplewhom I know and who either don't use Facebook at all or who want a more serious and non-controversial Forum/Means to make contact. I have never used it for job-seeking and at age 68 I am highly unlikely to do so.

Autopsy Assistant?!? Well, I won't be eating at Moe's Southwest Grill any time soon!

hes still going there's journeys on netflix which is set AFTER alola sun and moon

At least they got a rejection!

And most of them are just copied from various websites. And never read.

F**k you Boomer!

Doing nothing isn't impossible. It does take some practice, though..

You are meant to film all your side hustles while simultaneously only dealing with people at a C-Suite level of internationally renowned brands. #barf

Hey new idea for a side-hustle.

Okay, but this is good advice. A lot of that s**t in job ads is aspirational on the part of the person who wrote it, there are some 'musts' they'll forget they even wrote. Especially recruitment agencies.

They have one already and email is based on first name only

This is fine.

Because $11,50 per hour buys my unconditional loyalty and never ending efforts to make you even richer....

Fugly. 😬

I've had a manager in tech say that she didn't like people to have specialist roles. Lolz

Good catch.

I do believe this would be illegal in the UK.

I had a recruiter totally fixated on why I took a certain job 20 years ago. He didn't like my explanation and just kept bitching. I told him good luck with finding someone for the position and to have a nice day.

I think the opossum's got a shot.

I have 100% done this. Both ways. I have friends who have their own business, and now I do, too.

😁

You have to fight, for your right, to waaafffle!
