If you hate your job, you might want to think twice before quitting, because there is no way it's as bad as the experience of finding a new job right now. Finding a job in the current market is one of the most infuriating things someone can do. It seems like everyone is hiring, but no one is actually hiring. It doesn't make any sense. Job listings are sitting online for months at a time, people are applying, getting ghosted, and rejected, and it's taking a toll on everyone.

Beyond the listings themselves, there are so many other factors making the job search a painful process. The applications require a novel of information, the interviews are lengthy and draining and the people behind the jobs are less than pleasant. It's no wonder there are so many people out there without jobs right now, the world isn't making it very easy. One place people can come together to share their job search woes is Reddit. Job hunters and users alike share their worst moments from the recruiting and applying process to warn everyone. Here are 25 terrible and annoying times being had by people searching for a new job.
