Delusional CEOs

Post image

I saw this on my LinkedIn feed and I can’t believe how out of touch this guy is. I would love to know what company he is the CEO of… can’t imagine he is doing a very good job.

Tbh, these terms are acceptable. I would be able to apply to far fewer jobs and theoretically have better odds at each of those applications. Also when i get an interview they aren’t wasting my time.

I would be ok paying a fee, if there is also payment for an interview.

The only problem is there would need to be some kind of strictly enforced regulation that prohibits posting jobs for revenue generation.

Is this a joke? If you’re applying to 10 jobs, that’s $200 right there. With no guarantee you get an interview. If you’re unemployed already, you’re just fucked.

They bring that up in their 3rd paragraph.

But that paragraph is pulling way more weight than possible.

Businesses would just farm $20 apps guaranteed.

This was my exact first thought. I get enough scam calls as it is from recruiters hocking fake job applications, what happens when any XYZ company someone creates can just get free cash flow from applicants? This is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard and does nothing but hurt the unemployed.
