I interviewed for a hospitality position yesterday.Both the job listing and the interviewer stated they were looking for someone with no experience because they wanted to ‘give back to the community.’ Based on that,I was hopeful. Later informed that the role was given to a candidate with experience.That felt misleading and disappointing,as it directly contradicted what was communicated during the hiring process.I’m sharing this so other job seekers can have realistic expectations when applying.

While that is super disappointing, it's also not surprising. This is a tough job market and people with a lot of experience are willing to work at the rates of very entry-level people. I find it to be a good practice to never expect kindness from for-profit businesses.

I'm sorry to hear it. That's got to be so frustrating. Unfortunately that usually tends to be the case, too. They'll say no experience necessary, but if someone has it, they always have a better shot at getting the job.

That’s super frustrating and disappointing! But thank you for sharing so others can learn from it.

That is incredibly frustrating and honestly misleading. Saying one thing during the interview and then doing the opposite breaks trust. You are not wrong to feel disappointed, and sharing this helps other job seekers go in with clearer expectations instead of false hope.
