Anyone looking for a job needs to read this. I bet it has happened to you too.

It’s time American business and government leaders addressed this unethical hiring practice. Friday afternoon I submitted an application with a company called Ibotta. This morning – barely more than one business day later – I receive this: Hi Samuel, Thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider you for employment. After reviewing your resume, […]
