Elizabeth Krueger+FollowJob Hunting Is Going Retro—Paper Résumés Are Back!Tired of sending résumés into the online void? You’re not alone.

Who knew paper could be your power move in 2024? #JobCareer #JobSearch #HiringTrends70Share

Jared Fields+FollowJob Hunting Costs Are Getting WildWho knew finding a job could cost as much as a used car? People are dropping thousands—like $10k on consultants, hundreds on LinkedIn Premium, and even considering digital billboards—just to get noticed. With the job market so tight, it’s turning into a pay-to-play game. The average search now drags on for nearly six months, and all those subscriptions, classes, and AI tools add up fast.

Kaitlyn Page+FollowJob Posts = Résumé Tsunami?!Imagine posting a job and getting buried under 500+ résumés—most from people who aren’t even close to qualified.

Now she’s thinking twice before ever posting a job online. Would you dare to post? #JobCareer #JobSearch #RecruiterProblems00Share

Christy Jones+FollowLaid-Off Manager Hits a Job Market WallImagine having 20+ years of tech experience, only to be told you’re “too expensive” for every job you apply to. That’s Alexander Valen’s reality after getting laid off from Accenture. He’s been job hunting for 21 months, but companies keep cutting manager roles and slashing pay. Even with a killer resume, he’s ghosted by recruiters and forced to consider jobs way below his pay grade. The job market for experienced pros? Brutal right now. #JobCareer #JobSearch #Layoffs68Share
Amanda Stewart+FollowJob Ghosting Is Finally Getting Called OutYou know that feeling when you go through endless interviews and then...nothing? Ontario just made it illegal for companies to ghost job applicants. Now, if you interview, they have to tell you if you got the job (or not) within 45 days. Gen Z is celebrating on TikTok, showing off their rejection spreadsheets and calling out recruiters. Maybe the era of job ghosting is finally over—at least in Canada. Can we get this everywhere, please? #JobCareer #JobSearch #Recruiting7530Share
Elizabeth Krueger+FollowJob Recruiter Spills on Why Debt Gets You HiredEver wondered why so many jobs require a bachelor’s degree—even when it’s not really needed? A former recruiter on TikTok claims it’s not about your education, but your student debt. She says employers want people with loans because debt makes you more desperate to keep your job and less likely to push back. Basically, companies are looking for folks who need that paycheck, not just want it. Wild, right? Would you believe this is true? #JobCareer #jobsearch #studentloans20Share
