What’s the worst job-search ‘surprise’ you’ve run into?
3 Interviews for a Company and no call back - they wasted my time and quite frankly I find that very rude and unprofessional...
Getting the job notice, spending the time to apply and submit resume only to get to the end of that process and be notified that job was already filled. Still on multiple job listings and you receive multiple requests to apply.
Discrimination in general. Not holding up to a work place contract and going behind your back with your checkstubs.

Age discrimination.
Presently while there appear to be no opportunities in my primary avocation in my general area. I have never seen an opportunity like this before
The hardest part isn’t the surprise itself—it’s the feeling that your time and emotional energy were spent on something that wasn’t real.
I wouldn't say I've had a 'worst' job, but I have run into situations that were surprising or challenging, there was a position I was interested in where I was told my age made me ineligible, which was unexpected.
Job described was a scam
