Dream job!

They finally found a way to make money off of AI
As always:
Is shit like this counted when they list the number of open job in the country?
Knowing how backwards things are here, yeah probably
Yes, that's the point.
Almost certainly, they're counting on their "audits" consisting of a script that looks for "$500 per week" in the descriotion to confirm that they're posting ads.
Earn -$500 lol
-24k a year
"But you're not considering how valuable this experience will be!"
So much to evade that gap in the resume
What gap?
I've not been unemployed, I've been under a strict NDA for a very private employer. No, I'm not allowed their share their contact information. Sorry.
Hmm yeah don’t do that with any job with decent background checks.
No if you know they're gonna have to check, then you've worked for your cousin Randy at his placeofbusiness doing menialchore related to the industry.
You can confirm this by calling Mr Randolphius McGillecuddy, Esq.
Some background checks will look into your taxes and finances. Cousin Randy needs to be organised and rich.
Oh bollocks. How do I cancel the voicemail I left Randolphilus.
Do not let this person split up a bill for your restaurant party, folks
(I'm only joking, but I think you did the math the wrong way, $500x12=$6k)
Edit: yep.I'm an idiot, thanks folks, my poor example will stand as a testament to others, don't shame yourself publicly like this and pay attention in school!
$500 per week - 500x48=24k with 4 weeks of thankfully "unpaid" vacation
United States
4 weeks of vacation
Lol
If the employee “works” every day of the year they earn -$26000
My longest vacation was 3 months.*
* …after I got laid off.
I assume you have to pay the 500 while you are on vacation too, based on how they phrase it.
How many weeks are there in a year?
Well I planned for 12 apparently, so I guess I demand a lot of vacation time. I call it the Job Creator schedule.
a lot
It's per week.
500 x 4 = 2000/month
2000 x 12 = 24k
By all means i'd love to split restaurant bills with you ;)
Oh I made the stupid mistake and projected it outwards lol, my bad, I apologize and edited my post
There are 52 weeks in a year not 48. 500 x 52 = 26000.
Easy mistake to make. Also words can not describe my admiration and respect for someone who can leave a comment like this up with a humble edit.
I might double check your math if we split the cheque, but unlike 99% of the people on the internet, I already can tell that I would WANT to have a supper with you.
Join, pay, request chargeback from your card company.
When they dispute it: “The position clearly says unpaid. So I won’t pay.”
Use AI to expand this argument to 10 pages. Bonus points for citing nonexistent court decisions.
Bonus points for citing nonexistent court decisions.
That comes for free with using an LLM to make the argument.
Also bonus times for writing those prompts on company time.
Getting really nervous when my office computer sign-on keeps prompting me to enter my credit card information.
Please report for organ harvesting on Thursday at nine.
Scheduling conflict. Can we do chloroform at lunch instead?
Sorry, your insurance doesn't cover that, so it would have to be out of pocket.
Bring a cashier's check for $7,400 to lunch and we'll take care of the rest! ❤️
But it’s casual dress, and there’s a pizza party afterward!
Amateurs. Just call the weekly fee tuition, the position a research assistant, and the company a university and they are all set.
Hey, sorry overworked employees. I posted an ad to fill a position so we have enough wiggle room to let you breathe for once, but no one applied. Well, back to work!
Sounds illegal.
Everytime I hear about the need to pay to do a job, my mind immediately jumps to pyramid scheme.
If you need to pay for something, it is a huge red flag.
Does whatever country this is posted from not have a minimum wage? Screenshot says USA, I thought they did have one?
Yes, but since volunteering is a thing, they may think they're in the clear. Doubt they are though.
Seriously though… is this shit real?
Apparently this was some sort of job posting "experiment" from a couple of years ago.
this will be a competitive prompt engineer salary in about two years time.
See, it's already working.
Apply just to not pay and have the position terminated
The fact that I’m wondering if it serious or a joke, is worrisome…
It's definitely a joke or some sort of weird art statement, the only thing that bothers me is that I once got my decade-old account banned from LinkedIn for posting a job that they decided was discriminatory because it had a language requirement, and yet somehow this has passed their filters?
You say definitely but it could be serious. In China there are people who pay to work, to avoid being « flagged » as unemployed, which apparently is worse than paying for a fake job.
Well... it's not an unpaid internship, we're just not splitting hairs on who's getting paid.
Hungary unofficially have pay for internship positions thanks to extremely corrupt HR departments, and internship time mandates from colleges. Basically it ruined my dream of getting a college degree, because at my age especially, it would have cost me a small fortune.
I get that the glib answer will be "so they can make money"
But what is the actual thought process they are pretending to go through here? Cause the experience of being a prompt engineer is not some sought after experience like how people pay to be movie PAs for free or work as an artist assistant.
That people would be so excited to "get their foot in the door of th prompt engineering job market" that theyd pay for the opportunity
Someone posted above that this was from a couple years ago and done as a test to see who would respond to this type of ad sort of thing.
Is this....
Violence?
No, but it's something similar. It's stupid.
Unless there's actual hidden value here (possible), it's more like a joke. Chickens rarely cross the road and they're not getting paid.
Cross posting this to shitty million dollar ideas. This is the kind of out of the box thinking that we need to increase corporate profits and pump up those numbers. You are a real go getter here. good job.
Just change your company name to be [actual company name] dba AI Prompt Engineer College, call this a class, done.
Literally paying to work
Link so I can apply?
yeah itd be a shame if they got flooded with bs applications
Not OP but pretty sure it's this one. Good luck!
spoiler *spoiler*
thanks, i really wanted to hear this song but was too lazy to search it!

Glad to be of service. At least one person appreciates the effort I put into this

Unfortunately for you I can recognise the URL of the official video upon hover. Try a reupload next time maybe :)
Besides the obvious ripoff, is there some sort of fraudulent or tax reason why they would make the employee pay for it?
Maybe so you can hire people from overseas?
I wonder if this job is targeted to a specific person so that the person it's for will apply, but no one else will
big brain move
I’m very been a Netflix employee for years.
Dream job for the employer, that is.
Just put me through 4 years of a paid training position instead of University already. Finding a job has been shit because of lack of experience.
Its also shit with experience. Just apply to literally everything and hope something in the salary range you want reaches out.
The successful candidate
Man, who picks this fucking job up? Some rich cunt that needs an outlet?
Insulting to the general population really
Because it's still funny
I've seen this meme before, therefore it is inconveniencing my internet experience and that is against the rules!
OH MY GOD I SAW SOMETHING OLD!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?!
