Why Are Jobs Being Reposted

We apply, we get declined, we see the job is reposted again

There seems to be a trend of 'influencers' or 'certified resume coaches' (certified from where?) who are delivering scare-tactic messages to applicants along the lines of 'even if you meet 70% of the requirements, apply to if you meet 100% of the requirements don't apply. Shut Up.

There could be a number of issues, from the requirements changing, to budget to expanding the pool of candidates, to indecisive hiring managers - ya, I said it

There are a number of issues pertaining to this repetitive issue job seekers are facing - trust me, it's not you. I want all job seekers to take a step back from all this noise on LinkedIN about what and how to apply and REALLY listen to those who are in the industry. Many of the topics these attention seekers write about HAVE NO DATA to back up their claims, they are writing based on their PERSONAL BIAS of the process, THEY ARE NOT IN THE INDUSTRY - PERIOD. Stop giving them your time and most importantly, your sense of self-worth.

This market is cruel, the leaders are making decisions that aren't friendly for all, they are friendly for some - don't worry, they'll get the message that this isn't the way to treat their staff - yes, we have bills to pay, need sustenance and security, but, the fact that job seekers are are forever being disqualified for job they are qualified for - is not a job seeker issue. There is no advice, no resume rewrite, no ATS Bot (Recruiters are the damn bot), preventing you from getting that call. It is internal on top of the pathetic salaries that are being offered - 'acting one's wage' is trending and nobody is talking about this.

Jobs are being reposted because they aren't willing to PAY for your expertise, they aren't willing to be upfront about salary, they bait and switch at the time of offer and so many other shady methods orgs are practicing - basically, the most desperate will accept and will put up with our sh!t mentality and toxic culture. We are all desperate, don't lower your worth because orgs want control. Credit scores, debt collections, eating Vienna Sausages out of the can - all this can be remedied - with the org that values you. I am in the same boat, my car was repossessed, I'm at least $70k in debt, and I barely eat - but my dogs don't need to know that I am struggling.

Orgs must change this 'we exist for profit' operation- because stop lying, it's the same orgs who are .01% away from bankruptcy, and start paying people livable wages, and flexible work structures, and give us the respect we are worth - maybe you won't have to keep reposting your jobs every two weeks, 2 months, or the most I've seen 5 times so far... Your toxic mentality is going to hit those profit margins.

The, 'we want in-person collaboration' is another lie; where's the data on that, we know the expenses for real estate isn't cheap, but then again, orgs had a few years to do without real estate - I mean if these same orgs are all about doing the right thing for the environment and climate change but expect us to sit in traffic, in a building with high-powered HVAC systems and don't even get me started on the electricity bills on top of all those forkable lunches that are you guessed it, delivered, then where does the hypocrisy end? Orgs, this market is on you and the stalemate we are at requires that leadership listen to what we, the workforce that contribute to stock value and your unnecessary 8+figure comp packages have to say.

Call me, let's talk, and bring your investor daddies too.
