"Nobody wants to work anymore!!!! >:("
So far, jobs I've applied to have lied to me about:
- where the job was. The posting listed a town a few minutes away from me, but the interviewer said I needed to commute to NYC 5 days a week, an hour plus for me.
- remote options. They promise remote work until the interview, when they tell you remote is no longer supported.
-the hours. A number have listed full time only to tell me they could only offer part time, but the worst offended told me I could only have 8hrs a week
- how much the job paid. Posting promised 20$hr, the interviewer said it was minimum wage, 12$ in NJ.
- that the job was paid at all. It listed something like 50k a year at the top, but reading the job description, revealed it was an unpaid internship
- the job itself. I applied for a graphic design position, but during the interview they told me that I had to work as a door to door salesman for their product for a year before I could be "promoted" into the job I actually applied for.
-hiding the fact that that it was a military job and that you have to enlist. Nope nope nope.
I dont know how much of it is employers just don't know how to use job posting websites properly (like the guy in South Africa who listed his location in nj) but I think if you post the pertinent information people are looking for and then contradict it later, you make it clear you don't respect the people you need to hire
