Who didn't experience the frustration of getting email after email of rejection from countless jobs you thought you'd be perfect for? If you never experienced that, then congratulations! You are one in a million. If you do know what we're talking about, our question to you is – After how many rejections did you acknowledge that maybe the problem is you and something should change? 50? 100? 1000? Plus, what does one should change to actually make a difference? The person in this Reddit story cam…

How many assignments do you reckon you submitted in your journey to find a job? A couple? Dozens? Hundreds? People who have been looking for a job for quite some time, have probably gone through dozens of assignments they had to provide to hiring managers and recruiters. Out of those dozens, at least some have been later used by the company they applied for, even if they didn't get the job. Admittingly, this happened to me a while ago. The company I interviewed for used my ideas on their social…

This job interviewer is used to seeing people with padded resumes, but even they were caught off guard by this candidate's blatant lie. It's one thing to lie about small stuff, like maybe you claim to have more experience with Excel than you actually do, or perhaps you fudge your daily responsibilities to make it seem like you were a big shot at your old job. Up next, these people shared the immediate red flags they saw upon walking into someone's house for the first time , like one person who…

If you're struggling to land a new job , just consider: it could be going so much worse for you! No one ever said it'd be easy to get hired for a new job . Even when you're trying your very hardest, you might just not be the employee that the hiring manager is looking for. You may have to apply to hundreds of jobs before getting an interview, so then the pressure to perform well is on. When that interview arrives, you want to be at your very best. Lots of people will research the company, pract…

This Tiktoker has suddenly realized that there are real-world consequences to the things we post online! Many of us grew up being told over and over to be cautious what we share online . Others throw caution to the wind and post whatever they feel like, whenever they feel like. The internet remembers everything! Once you post something online, even if you delete is immediately, there's still a chance your post will live on forever if even one person or website saves your content. Posting strong…

"[He] is now scrutinizing my current management for them hiring me."

Finding a new job is an annoyingly scrutinizing process, and the biggest pain in the whole ordeal is probably the assignments companies tend to give their applicants. While they are a necessity, as they can supply a workplace with a rather good idea of their candidates' abilities, they are a lot of work for the candidates themselves. One assignment is fine, but when one looks for a job, they probably end up completing dozens, if not hundreds of assignments before actually securing a job. The co…

Every person you encounter in your employment journey is simply doing their job. Secretaries, hiring managers, HR, and even CEOs are all simply doing their jobs, and their contact with you is usually a part of that. That is why, when applying for a new job, you would expect these people to do their jobs correctly and make everyone's life easier, but that is not always the case. For example, the person in this Reddit story was applying for a new job and was invited to interview for a job via ema…

Every job candidate out there should approach interviews with the mentality that employers need employees just as much as employees need employment, it is a two-way street. The interview process is a test for the employer no less than it is for the candidate, as they both are there to see if the place of work could be a match. There is no reason an employer should not treat their candidates with as much respect as they expect to be treated themselves. Which is why I think the job candidate in t…

We all know how negative the stories about bosses and managers can be when it comes to Reddit. It is a safe space to vent, complain, and plot petty revenge against those who are in charge of the way our workplaces… well, work. It seems that for every genuinely good manager out there, there are around 10 bad ones, and those are usually the ones we read about on Reddit. However, this Reddit story is like no other, as it comes to show that there are still good managers out there, who even go out o…

It should be common sense that if you are looking for a human to do a certain job, the interviewer for said job should also be human. The whole concept of video interviews, or even worse, being interviewed by AI assistants, should not even be on the table. It makes the candidate feel like the company does not take the job search seriously and generally starts the whole process with a bad taste in their mouths. The job candidate in this Reddit story will probably agree with these statements afte…

Have you ever worked for a company that allowed you to donate your PTO to other coworkers? This new hire received an email from HR on his very first day asking him to donate PTO to two employees he didn't even know. The worst part is that he already doesn't like his new job and is taking a major pay cut after being laid off from his old job. It's understandable to donate hours to a coworker with whom you've developed a relationship, who may be in desperate need of PTO time due to family issue...

"When you show up for your second interview make sure to wear an enormous obviously fake mustache."

Human resource employees don't always get the best rep, and unfortunately, this particular employee is not helping their case. After hiring a candidate, the candidate suddenly cut off communication and ghosted the company. According to other HR professionals, this behavior is not uncommon in the early stages of hiring. But unfortunetly for the candidate, she chose the wrong HR employee to ghost. Instead of addressing the issue internally, the employee took to LinkedIn and posted a public call-o…

Another day, another eight hours spent in the office. There are some days when office life is a breeze. You get to hang out with your favorite coworkers, the workload is light, and you might even get to hit up your favorite lunch spot. Ah, the sweet taste of a midday burrito! Not all days are a grind. But then, there are the other days. The days where you're hanging on by a thread, furiously trying to chip away at the looming pile of work on your desk. You find yourself trapped in the endless s…

Job interviews are incredibly daunting and I've had my fair share of interviews that went south. But crying? I have yet to experience that and honestly, I hope I never will. I can understand why it happens though. Imagine spending months looking for a job, doing dozens of interviews (if you even get calls back), and taking time and effort out of your day to complete the tasks and assignments these companies send you. You pass a few rounds and start to get your hopes up, only to have them crumpl…
