In a series of social media posts on Chinese platforms, users have expressed concerns over the recruitment practices of certain companies. It appears that human resources departments are looking for resumes that appear to be impressive, without necessarily considering the applicants' qualifications or experience. This has led some netizens to question whether the hiring process is fair and transparent.

One user shared a list of 15 salary negotiation questions, suggesting that candidates should answer these questions in a specific manner to protect their rights and interests. However, many users have expressed skepticism about this approach, with some arguing that it is necessary to tell "a little lie" during the hiring process to increase one's chances of getting hired.

Moreover, some job seekers have reported receiving harassing phone calls and having their personal information sold by organizations such as Wang hao vocational school. This has led many users to question who benefits from this vicious circle and to demand greater transparency in the recruitment process.

In addition to these concerns, Weibo users have shared tips on writing a resume that is tailored to specific job openings and emphasizes key skills and experiences. They also suggested optimizing the design of the resume for clarity and simplicity, rather than making it overly flashy or lengthy.

While some netizens have expressed disappointment with certain companies' recruitment practices, others have criticized the culture of deception that seems to pervade the job application process. It remains to be seen whether these concerns will lead to any meaningful changes in how companies recruit and evaluate candidates.
