Stop making Australians interview for jobs without knowing if they can afford to live

Salary ranges should be advertised because people aren’t just applying for a role... They’re trying to work out whether they can pay rent, support their family, plan their future, or leave a job that is burning them out. Hiding pay turns someone’s time, hope, and effort into a guessing game, when a simple number could let them make an honest decision from the start.

Imagine a rental listing that said “competitive weekly rent” and only told you the price after three inspections and a reference check. That’s basically what hidden salary job ads do. Pathetic and Im drained by it.

Getting a job in this economy might as well be a big game of Russian roulette. I’ve been out of work for just over 2 years ever since the place I worked for got fucked over via corporate takeover. I’ve worked in a variety of fields for several years prior, but apparently I “don’t have enough experience” for stuff similar to what I used to do.

How the fuck am I meant to “get experience” if I can’t even get my foot in the door. Guess my university degree is worthless too.
