Finding a new job can be really stressful. Creating the perfect CV, scrolling through countless ads, keeping up with the ever-changing marketplace—it’s certainly a tough task.
Not to mention the companies that place unreal expectations on their potential employees. We’ve all heard them asking for years of experience for an entry-level position that offers very little to no pay at all. No wonder you get sick and tired of the whole process.
But don’t worry. You’re not the only one: r/recruitinghell is a subreddit where both recruiters and candidates share their ridiculous hiring experiences, so keep scrolling if you want reassurance that the universe hasn’t conspired against you and check out some of its best posts below!
After you’re done, don’t forget to check out Bored Panda’s previous post about the horrors of finding a new job.
