buttercup_0_0_ could relate to seeing questionable job posts:
"I saw a learnership that wanted a bachelor’s degree or an advanced diploma. I was expecting that for internships! Someone correct me if I’m wrong 🤷🏽♀️"
Furaha was disturbed:
"Labour laws need to be updated 😳because this is sabotaging. Even if you have seven years of experience. You’ll be overqualified for the position"
JustFefe_ encouraged people:
"I still applied 😭and got an email back that I am moving to the next stage. Just be spontaneous and delusional about it."

"Unfortunately, it’s just the system prompts/ HR can’t change that question, it just comes with the system. You can just list any employment/studies you’ve done."
Noëlla Boss shared details of another post:
"I saw a job recently on LinkedIn, it comes with equity. In securing millions for my company. 7+ year is mandatory. C-suite position. Anything else is bull. With entry level pay check. Sies! Some companies have no shame. Exploitation at its core."
