So I’m on a job hunt, right? I find a cool position, apply, and think I’m moving on…
Next thing I know, I try to apply for another position at the same company, and I get hit with this:
“We couldn’t submit your application.
I’m sorry we are limiting applications to give everyone a chance.”
Wait… WHAT? 😳
Let me get this straight:
- I applied for one job
- Now I can’t apply for another because… they’re being fair?
- To… everyone else?
So basically, they’re saying:
“Hey, we want to give OTHER people a shot… even though you’re perfectly fine to apply for this one too.”
I stared at the screen for a solid minute. Then I laughed. Then I cried. Then I took a screenshot because, naturally, this belongs in the WTF Hiring Hall of Fame.
Honestly… this is peak corporate logic. It’s like a game:
“Do you want the job? Sorry, you’re too fast for us. Try again later.”
If you ever see a job application message like this… just screenshot it. Post it. Share it. Laugh at it. Welcome to the WTF Hiring club.
Seen a weirder job application rule than this? Share it with us and join the WTF Hiring club.
Thanks!
