Needless to say, you should probably not apply to this one! This thread was posted to Reddit by u/hotdogwater4sale, who shared a job posting from Indeed where the company name was set to confidential. This posting included a long list of statements and expressed that anyone who identified with said statements shouldn't apply.

Highlights from this list include "you look like a tattoo parlor experiment gone wrong" and "your favorite place is under the covers in your mom's basement." These are all strangely specific, as if the recruiter were trying to vent about their own job experience. The best part is that following this list were bizarre, optimistic rhetorical questions like, "wouldn't it be amazing to work with a team that appreciates you?" I mean, judging from this list, this company is not that kind of place.
