"I’m a fresh grad seeking my first FT job for the past 8 months and while I knew it’d be tough and exhausting, I feel like employers also don’t respect your time at all," the workforce newbie wrote
The jobseeker shared examples of things that allegedly happened while searching for a job. From a last-minute rescheduling of an interview not once but twice to being told that 2500 is “too much”, the NUS graduate feels let down. “Hostile and constantly checking nails during interview, demanded to see my personal Instagram then declined when I offered to show her my portfolio instead.
