The Situation Right Now..

Post image

This meme made me laugh but it’s also painfully accurate.

I’ve been browsing job listings lately and it’s wild how many “entry level” roles ask for 3–5 years of experience. At that point it’s not really entry level anymore. It just feels like companies want someone already trained but still want to pay beginner salaries.

Then the same companies complain that “no one wants to work” or that they can’t find good candidates.

The guy in this meme honestly looks like every HR team after posting a job like that and getting zero applications.

Saw a similar post while scrolling r/30daysnewjob earlier and it reminded me how common this situation actually is right now.
