paying for job applications
Our take
As a soon-to-be college graduate, the job search can feel overwhelming, especially when encountering unexpected hurdles like paywalls for job applications. Recently, I faced this challenge while seeking assistant photographer positions, discovering that four out of five listings redirected me to third-party sites requiring payment for premium applications. Only one allowed direct application through their careers section. This experience has left me frustrated and questioning whether this practice is common in Atlanta or if others have faced similar situations elsewhere.
has anybody else experienced this? i’m about to graduate college the end of this month so i’ve been looking for some assistant photographer jobs and there have been 4 jobs i tried applying to that brought me to a third party website that wanted me to pay for premium to submit my application. there was only 1 out of 4 jobs that i was able to find a careers section on the website and apply directly, but no luck for the others. i literally feel like i’m going crazy and it just seems so unfair that these companies are doing this 🥲 is this just an atlanta thing or have people noticed this in other places ?
