Finding a job isn't as easy as it used to be. Not that it was ever particularly easy, just that it's much, much harder nowadays. With everyone applying for jobs online, using long digital applications that make you fill out all your experience three times, it's honestly exhausting to submit even one application, and you have to do hundreds. And after that, more than ninety percent of the time, you'll hear nothing back. Many applicants are lucky to even get a rejection letter for closure's sake.

With the ever-changing digital hiring process as the norm, employers always find more irritating ways to infuriate potential employees. From one-way interviews to illegible job listings, it's amazing to see what they can get away with. After all, there's no good reason an unpaid internship would require five years of experience. Here are some of this month's most frustrating finds from people who are searching for a new job, and finding nothing.
