JOBS
You have to Pay to Get a Job Now?
Pay to play is not okay when you need a job
It’s hard for me to believe people on Medium would promote Freelancer.com and Upwork when they want you to pay to play to get a freaking job.
I thought the idea of getting a job was that you applied because YOU needed money, but apparently the middle man needs it more than you do, now, and usually that means they are a crook if they need the money more than you do.
I believe congress will probably make some rules about this in the future.
But applying for a job to be like an auction on eBay is way out of line.
2024 is the worst of times if there are barriers to entry for applying to a job!
Do you agree?
Have you seen any free alternatives to pay for play on these freelance websites?
Are there any websites other than craigslist where you don’t have to take out your wallet or pocketbook to apply for a job?
