25 bizarre job postings people have come across that are totally unrealistic and hilarious
If you are having a hard time finding a job these days, fret not. Take a look at these 25 reckless job postings that will immediately cheer you up.
With the economy's current situation, everyone knows that acquiring a job is no piece of cake. One requires umpteen skills and expertise to get an edge in the competitive world. Along with skills, recruiters are on the hunt for experience as well. However, the management takes one step ahead to try and find other perks while recruiting. Networking, additional skills, certifications, personality and so much more are taken into consideration before one can even get to the interview stage. The recruitment process is exhausting and candidates are expected to bring more than their A-game into the picture.
However, certain companies stretch things far ahead. In the quest to find an ideal candidate, they set the bar hilariously high that it becomes nothing more than corporate humor. Job vacancies put requirements and descriptions that are either senseless or inhuman, leaving candidates with no chance and just a dose of laughter. The internet has been sharing these bizarre applications to ease the pain and awkwardness of candidates and let them know that they're not alone. Here are 25 hysterical job posts that will tickle your funny bone.
1. When the interviewer hasn't done their research
Last year I got rejected during a job interview for “not understanding” the concepts of a certain iOS library. What the interviewer didn’t know: I wrote that thing. I actually had a lot of fun during that interview 🤣

2. Looks like they could use some 'experience' in preparing job posts!
3. Now that's an unrealistic expectation to have
I saw a job post the other day. 👔

It required 4+ years of experience in FastAPI. 🤦
I couldn't apply as I only have 1.5+ years of experience since I created that thing. 😅
Maybe it's time to re-evaluate that "years of experience = skill level". ♻
4. When you set yourself up for mandatory rejection
5. What in the corporate world is this?
6. HR recruitment gone wrong
An @IBM job ad requiring 12 years of Kubernetes experience (when the first release itself was made only 6 years ago). Non-technical HR putting requirements they have no idea about. pic.twitter.com/YKXOzFgrvb

7. When corporates are running on a delusional timeline
Many iOS developer positions say they want 7+ years experience in Swift. How are you going to say that when Swift was first released in 2014?

8. Now something isn't right here
9. Someone explain 'Entry-level'
10. Seems like they're out to get them young
I saw a Job like this too, entry level for jobs posted by ECOWAS. Minimum experience was 10years with Age of 28. 🤦🏽♂️ I said good luck and close the page.

11. When you see this, run
12. Who are you kidding?
13. Ain't that the truth
14. When the company wants literally everything
I love seeing jobs posted like this, we want you to have 17 years industry experience, 2 PHDs, 1 BA degree in pottery and hold a pilot’s licence - please note this is a junior assistant intern position etc etc

15. What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
16. Charity, is it?
17. Seems like they don't really want applicants at all
18. "This is a director-level job"
19. May as well get robots
I'm in my 40s. Every single time I look for a job outside what I do (education) this is what I run up against. You have to be able to do 8000 things and have an advanced degree and be willing to work for $15/hour. It's immoral.

20. Ridiculously bizarre
Shit reminds me of this I saw a few years back
— Be loud, Be angry, Take no shit. ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 (@PossumPrincess9) July 13, 2020
they were paying $12/hr btw pic.twitter.com/EMIT05k2z9
21. "What in the world is a first-generation professional?'
22. Something's not right
23. Now that's unusual
24. Wait...what?!
25. What were they thinking?
