Job search is not an easy task in general especially when you’re straight out of college, as employers expect years of experience or else they send you straight down the road of internships. And finding the most suitable job may as well be a form of art. But who the hell is it out there looking for potential employees and trying out how far the limits be pushed? It’s mind blowing how some companies have outrageous expectations from the future hires while setting up some ridiculous conditions. And really, these ads are out there to remind us that if everything fails at least your sense of humour will still be there out when it will come to facing the most horrendous employers. For its 139k subscribers this Reddit thread, Recruiting Hell, brings the hottest job offers out there – now, whether you’re ready to take up those jobs or not is your choice.
Bored Panda picked a few best worst recruitment fails out there from the popular Reddit community. These 28 emails, ads and job applications show that the hiring process will strip you off your dignity, pay you in experience and make fun of you. Recruiters are there to give you life advice and tell you in general what to do and not, even when it comes to using the bathroom. They’re there to question your experience, sanity and make you doubt their common sense. And although there are lots of profesional people in the industry, but this time brace yourselves for not the kindest ones. This is a list that anyone who has ever looked for a job or offered one can relate to, so you can share with us your recruitment hell stories below!
