15 Examples Of How Terrible The Job Market Is

Getting a job in this day and age is rough, especially with all the happenings of the world. The introduction of AI certainly hasn't helped anyone's case either, it appears that the fear-mongering of the past turned out to have some truth to it, especially when traces of ChatGPT can be found in almost everything. We are currently living in an AI epidemic, with more people saying "AI is going to replace us" than ever before, and the unfathomably stupid job requirements aren't helping either.

Reddit's /r/recruitinghell is a great place for all things terrible about applying for a job, whether you're overqualified, underqualified, or right in the middle. Each meme is a dive into the infuriating world of someone who's trying to dip their toes into the job market, but being met with far too much friction than they'd like. Prepare to laugh and sometimes even ponder at the absolute absurdity of what we now call a "job market."
