Today’s job seekers aren’t lazy. We're exhausted.We're: - Submitting 100+ applications - Waiting weeks for a response that never comes - Getting ghosted after multiple interviews - Facing offers that barely cover living costsMeanwhile, companies are: ▪️ Demanding “entry-level” roles with 3–5 years of experience ▪️ Expecting free labor through unpaid projects and case studies ▪️ Dragging candidates through 6+ interview rounds for an entry level role ▪️ Posting jobs they’ve already chosen internal hires for ▪️ Rejecting qualified candidates for not having “the perfect fit” ▪️ Underpaying roles while adding 10 different job descriptions into one ▪️ Penalizing candidates for “job hopping” without asking whyThis isn’t a talent shortage. This is a respect shortage. It’s a broken hiring system that devalues candidates while blaming them for the mess.If you’re job searching right now, remember: you are not the problem. The system is.
