    Once I was invited to what I thought would be a lunch interview. Got to the place, a 40 mile drive, the interviewers already were eating and just offered a soda. Then, because one of the interviwers was catching a plane the interview was rushed. Needless to say I did not get the job and I am so glad.

    The current economic system is unequal because it allows for the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few, while the majority struggle to make ends meet and have limited opportunities for upward mobility. Additionally, the system perpetuates cycles of boom and bust, causing instability and uncertainty for individuals and communities.

    Or, they say you've been fast tracked to an interview. Poor grammar, spelling and the job description does not align with the industry for that role. Example, one job I encountered said I'd be writing a Biological License Application to the FDA. The problem is they said the job was within the Marketing department. Marketing would NEVER write a BLA!

    What I see is a lot of just plain false ads. I helped my daughter search jobs recently. I would see ads for warehouse associates. Click the ad & get a pop up that I should drive for Uber instead. Lots of that. Also, ads for jobs in our town. Click them & the job is actually in another town an hour away. Years back, I answered a lot of newspaper ads & usually got no response at all. A few sent Dear John letters that my qualifications weren’t what they needed.

I didn't apply for this job nor would I apply for this type of job. I returned the gentleman call and asked my questions.He said he was putting me down as interested and then Friday I received a job offer via email that I am supposed to pick up equipment Monday when I don't even drive and do zoom meetings with only orientation on Monday and zoom training on Tuesday when call centers give at least 6 weeks of training and they are paying $20.00 an hour and they want my bank information for direct deposit.

    I'm in web development. According to my google analytics, recruiters are not going to my online portfolio to view any work I have done. I have also found they don't read much of my resume, since they tend to ask questions which are answered on the resume. Their lack of web development knowledge seems to really get in the way of my opportunity to speak with the employer. If they do not know the industry, why are they participating in the candidate search? If a company is lazy enough to send out a recruiter with zero knowledge of the field, what does that say about the employer?

    I had a scam interview. I was looking for remote jobs overseas, and they make me spend hours on interview, sacrificing my sleep. As i had another remote job (local) to get done. It was very annoying when i realisrd it. They asked questions on proofreading job (the job title) it sounded legit, but then they sent personal info form which content seemed legit since they use a real existing company name but it was in text.rtf and not pdf or microsoft words. They wanted me to sent back with signature asap but i decided to take time thinking for a few days. But, they also say they provide training. But when i want to access the training, they told me to pay. At first i believed them, fortunately i dont have any money to pay anything. Then my family said "if it says to pay, its scam" And i realise the training web was built on wix, and the email address they used was shit. Now, approx 2 weeks later. There are scammers trying to hack into my facebook and instagram account. I dont know if its the same scammer or not, since they have their own network. But its 100% annoyance and disturbance.
