50 Job Listings With Requirements So Ridiculous People Walked Away Immediately (New Pics)

Yes, 100%

Sadly there are sometimes situations where legal or procedural requirements insist that other applications are invited and treated on merit, so even if the recruiting manager has got their 100% perfect fit internal candidate they are made to go through the whole palaver of interviewing external applicants too.

Recruiters get money for identifying candidates as well as filling positions.

Maybe because I work in the nonprofit world, but who would do that?! That’s AWFUL!

If you have a disability some Companies have an automatic interview policy. This is great as obviously it means someone with a disability is being given the chance of employment. However, it's not great at all when they can't or won't make Reasonable Adjustments for interviews and even worse have clearly already given someone the job and are just doing the disability interviews after the event to meet Company policy.

This is great. I ALWAYS get calls for interviews after I've accepted another job - without fail.

Heh, heh, burn 🔥

I feel that the whole application and hiring process has become a true nightmare and I totally approve of this.

Was just about to write this! As of new years. Now I hope they don't start interviewing just to say they didn't ghost

In theory, I'm still waiting for replies on applications I sent out in 2019, so... considering interest, I'd be rich without working by now 😅

Do the fines go to the ghosted candidates?

As a resident of Ontario, this is the best news I've heard in ages!

Most of the jobs I’ve had, in almost 40 years in the paid workforce, I could have done as an after-school job when I was a teenager. You do NOT have to be very smart to work in the typical U.S. corporate workplace.

What , they don't believe in on the job training anymore? Are people supposed to just hit the ground running? Any job I took, even if I had plenty of experience in the field, had a training program.

I’d done 3 types of histology in a lab looking at a type of gut cells.I moved to another state and was hired in a project looking at capillary beds. I was competent in basic histology that works for almost everything but had to do preps for SEM (scanning electron microscopy.) Sure, I could do the basics but I had no one around to help me troubleshoot or even use the preps. A year later a post-doc who was going to use the SEM joined the lab but at that point that the slides had weird artifacts in the prep. The PI got mad at me because I didn’t know every kind of prep and I didn’t have anyone to help. I spent weeks scouring the literature - you know, from the library- and couldn’t find out how to fix it. Using the materials from the library stacks meant collecting bound journals, flipping to a paper, reading enough to see if it had what I needed and if so, carrying a stack of them to copy in the department office. The PI didn’t know how to do the histology either.

Linkedin be like "Last week, my two-years-old son asked me for a lollipop. I saw this as a teaching moment and told him that nothing in the world is free and only disciplined people who hustle hard get what they want. He did all chores around the house for a week. After a week, I didn't buy him the lollipop and said that the feeling of a job well done should be the most important reward. He burst into tears, hugged me and profusely thanked me for setting him on the right path in life."

Reminds me of those parents who tweet about their child saying something smart when obviously the kid did not say that

Can you explain the gap in your staff that you're trying to fill?

Great answer. Definitely beats having to spin a few years of family caregiving into something that sounds businessy. Like saying "I was a change agent and negotiated high level contracts" instead of "I dealt with my elderly parent's Depends and hassled with their health insurance company for hours every week."

Yeah, that's where I hit enter on the keyboard

I was asked that only one time and i just said i had some savings after my last job and decided to go on vacation for a year because i wanted to visit some countries. No problem at all. It was btw the truth but i think that is something even the most workahloc HR person can relate to

"I went to yail" "YALE! That's amazing! You're hired!" "Thank you, I really need this yob."

That's horrible, I don't care what race somebody is. If somebody from a different race is more qualified they should be hired. I hope you turned those racist jerks into the EEOC or whatever it's called if you're not in the US.

I worked at a company where black applications for customer facing jobs were immediately thrown in the trash as soon as they walked out the door. I was inspecting a fast food restaurant where the district manager fired all the black employees because the customers didn't want black people in their city - even though none of their rich kids would ever work fast food. But there's no racism in America. 🙄

Has white become a bad word since OP write yt?

What are 'YT' employees?

I worked for a guy who wouldn't interview an older woman. Made me do it. The irony is, she was well-qualified.

Never major in something you hate—regardless of how good the employment prospects are. You’ll be working for several decades, and no matter what your job is, it will k**l your soul. So make the most of college. Major in something you like that you’re good at; party; and make good friends. Those good memories will have to hold you for a while.

Every job counts. Whether it’s CEO or flipping burgers at mickey donalds. And every job should be paid a living wage. And before you come at me, are you willing to cook your own burgers at mickey ds? If not, where do you get off deciding the poor bugger that does doesn’t deserve a living wage for something that you aren’t willing to do yourself and putting up with your sh*t?

I remember how many people who hated this kind of work went to study "IT" because "that's the hot topic!" - and by the time they were finished, the field was filled up and only few positions were to be had.

The only things a “competitive” salary competes with are the most basic bills, like rent, electricity, and food.

Competitive salary mean they offer the base market average.

I wrote one about 25 years ago. 😂 I just update certain words to make it specific now.

I copied the one my friend gave me to proof read. That was in 2016. Have been using the same. i just add the current experience.

They really aren't that hard. And for some jobs it will make a difference only in that it will catch the attention if well done of the person reading it
