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.

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.
