This is a slight vent post, maybe does not fit in antiwork, but here goes…
I applied for a position that requires an applicant to speak 3 languages. I speak all 3. I have 9 years of marketing experience. They require the applicant to have 5.
The job title I applied for said “Marketing Lead.” I applied 4 different times, trying my hardest to get to an interview with them. When I got their response today, it said Thank you for applying for Institutional & Strategic Initiatives.
This is what I see when I search for the same exact job position that the HR mentioned in my inbox: one response in email. Only from them and no one else, sent to me today.
Conclusions:
1. The job position that I appliied for is still listed on their website to this day.
2. I've seen the position posted on other websites that show how many people applied for the job position. It literally has hundreds of people who applied to take it.
3. I don't think they want to really hire. I'm inclined to think it's only listed to give people an idea of how well they are doing when they really aren't doing well.
