I remember getting rejected from a job that required "no experience we'll train you" and got rejected for not having "enough experience" like bro wtf.
posting ghost jobs should be illegal. and wouldn't the other employees eventually know that ghost jobs were posted when no one is hired for a long time?!
Entry level: 3-5 years of experience 🤦♂️
I've been ghosted 3-4 times in the last year. We've given these companies too much power and they're screwing us.
When I took economics back in college my Professor said "How do you increase the number of jobs available? You cut full time jobs, turn them into multiple part time jobs, cut benefits since they are part time, and hire new blood constantly thinking they're get a full time position and cycle through them. You think this is crazy, but you'll find out that any company will do anything to ensure they can't pay you salary or benefits."
To get a entry level job in 2024: - Beaten Bobby Fischer in Chess blindfolded - Been a shot caller in Arkham Asylum - Be able to divide by 0 - Must have fought at the battle of Hastings and slayed a dragon single handedly - Played and completed the Hellraiser puzzle box
Applied to hundreds and I think my personal data got leaked to a bunch of scam posts :/
The only way I got a meaningful job was by personal connections. That's it. The relationships that you develop with college mates, coworkers, and others pays off. Because they help you get into the door. But personally, I'm done. I'll find another way to survive with the help of family. And I'm ever so grateful I never had the cojones to start a family. God spared me that hell. Amen.
unemployed 2022 grad since end of 2023. anybody else in their mid 20's suffering? makes it hard to have a social life, date, can't afford to move out. I feel so alone. I've applied to thousands of jobs at this point, even had my resume professionally redone. I was an excellent student + never been unemployed in my life until now
Guys, if you get an interview invitation for a job you didn’t apply for, it’s probably a scam. It happened to me today.
Ghost jobs SHOULD be illegal, and would be a great way for the government to get some fees maybe pay off some of their debt.
This isn’t just across industries in America, this is an international issue. As costs rise, jobs to in a matter of seconds and people with literal university degrees and diplomas are left jobless.
The worst part is the people working hardest are getting the least remuneration for their efforts and then shamed in the media for not taking more hours, more work despite the poverty wages. 40% of people in work need state support. That’s a reflection of greed not poor work ethics by working people. This is being done by design, by greed.
Fourth reason why they're not hiring is to boost stock prices. A company that is "hiring" looks like a job that is growing.
There seems to be an abundant of ghost job postings where companies are just farming resumes to collect data for insights to salary ranges, job functions, demographics, and etc, with no intent to hire.
I've submitted over 357 applications since June 2023. I got two offers March this year, and one of them is a decently paying, hybrid, and most important of all. FREE DENTAL! I'M GETTING MY BRACES. I'm now a wannabee Data Engineer. Keep your heads up, whoever is out there still looking for jobs. You'll get there sooner or later. Edit: Update from me! So I passed my probationary a couple of months back and got my appraisal, and I'm due for a performance review next year! My coworkers are great to work with, and everyones been very supportive. I've also been assigned Data Science work evolving around prediction modeling as an introductory to ML opportunities for the company. Goodluck again!
applied to over 500 jobs now, the market is terrible
I had an HR rep send me a link to officially apply for a job position on the company website, after passing a resume screening. She sent me a link for the wrong position at the wrong store. I didn't find this out until the phone interview with her, which she was late to, so I had to call her to initiate. These are the gate keepers of jobs. Smh.
I applied for many jobs 3-5 a week. I only got two calls for a interview in a three months span. The interview didn't go any where. So I apply to a job I didn't think I fit the criteria. Got a interview and was hired. Didn't know they train and paid for all my certificates, to get the job. It was being a caretaker. I guess they needed help. I pass the interview and the training and the 5 certificates, that I needed for the job. Been with them for 6 months and doing a awesome job and liking the job.
