Today’s job seekers aren’t lazy. We're exhausted.

We're:
- Submitting 100+ applications
- Waiting weeks for a response that never comes
- Getting ghosted after multiple interviews
- Facing offers that barely cover living costs

Meanwhile, companies are:
▪️ Demanding “entry-level” roles with 3–5 years of experience
▪️ Expecting free labor through unpaid projects and case studies
▪️ Dragging candidates through 6+ interview rounds for an entry level role
▪️ Posting jobs they’ve already chosen internal hires for
▪️ Rejecting qualified candidates for not having “the perfect fit”
▪️ Underpaying roles while adding 10 different job descriptions into one
▪️ Penalizing candidates for “job hopping” without asking why

This isn’t a talent shortage. This is a respect shortage.

It’s a broken hiring system that devalues candidates while blaming them for the mess.

If you’re job searching right now, remember: you are not the problem. The system is.
