15 All-Too-Real Moments From The Job Search Process

Finding a job these days is harder than it should be. Even though it seems like every place of employment is short staffed or "hiring," still no one seems to be able to find a job and make a decent living. It probably has something to do with the economy surely, but still you can't help but feel bad for the poor individuals who apply over and over again just to be rejected for the hundredth time in a month. It really is tough out there.

To make it a little better, and show that no one is alone, Reddit's /r/RecruitingH*** is a subreddit in which users looking for jobs can share memes, stories, and screenshots from absurd job listings they have found in their job hunt. Some of the things these employers ask for are truly unhinged. Anyone who has a good job that they enjoy and can live comfortably with should be grateful, especially after seeing these 15 excruciating moments from the job search process.

Spousal Interview? Why?

5. Personal Budget Each candidate at Dave's company sends in their personal budget during the interview process to ensure they can support their family on what we're paying for that position. You don't want to hurt someone's family by allowing them to take a position they can't afford. Besides, broke and desperate people do not make good team members. 6. Spousal Interview One of the last steps you should take before a hire is an interview with the candidate and his/her spouse. The spouse will tell you pretty quickly whether the position will really work for the family.

What The-

Do you speak English at least half decently? Yes No This is an employer-written question. You can report inappropriate questions to Indeed through the "Report Job" link at the bottom of the job description. "Please do an IQ test at IQtest.com, it asked you to pay but you can get the score just emialed to you. Forward the score email to me: josh@venuekings.com In the forwarded email give me answers to these questions: Do you think asking for a IQ test is a good idea? Why or why not?

That's a Scam

Dr. Tine Rassalle @Tine Rass Follow Just heard back from a job I applied to, letting me know that the job "does not come with a traditional salary," instead, I need to "create a team of partners who are willing to support me financially as the source of funding" What kind of new dystopian BS is this now?? 3:03 PM 05 Feb 24 3.1M Views 3,280 Reposts 784 Quotes 51K Likes
