Isn’t it frustrating how tough it’s become to land a good job, even with high qualifications? So many of my friends are struggling despite having the right degrees and skills. One of them applied to over 600 jobs and barely got any proper response. With a master’s in IT, he’s working as a customer service manager in retail which is far from what he deserves. It makes me worry about the future. Will things get even worse? It’s scary to plan ahead when job security feels so uncertain.

It’s really heartbreaking to hear stories like that—so many qualified people stuck in roles far below their potential. The job market feels tougher than ever, and it’s hard not to worry about what’s next. Do you think there’s anything that could change this, or is it just the new normal now?

Here’s a polished version of your thought:

In my opinion, the job market could improve significantly if companies adopted better hiring practices like prioritizing skills over degrees and avoiding blind recruitment. I also believe that if governments revised and strengthened their employment policies, it could truly change the game for job seekers and workers alike.

Yes it’s due to fake job postings. This is a critically important destroyer of the world. It must be immediately and reverently cracked down on; even if requires extreme risk from us.

1) What are the consequences for people who post fake jobs; don’t honour jobs they do post: and/or don’t honour time commitments (eg how fast they’ll hire someone once they post it and find an adequate candidate)?

2) What are the consequences for repeated offenders?

3) What are the consequences for fake jobs sites, sites allowing fake jobs, promotional vehicles allowing fake jobs, the government offering fake programs and/or fake jobs within these programs; or endorsing them?

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
