I think the gap between what the companies looking for and what the individuals has to offer is increasing.

When a company advertises a role, they are increasingly looking for someone who either has done the same exact job in the exact specific niche with proven success for a number of years, or an absolute super star who would excel at anything thrown at them.

Most people are neither, so matches are exceedingly rare.



Yes, companies expectations are off the charts. I only wish these companies will go broke soon, so they learn to hire real people to do real jobs.
