It’s no secret that the U.S. is facing some terrible labor market conditions as the unemployment rate remains high, and many people are looking for a job with very little success. In these conditions, how much do you value a job offer? One organization seems to think that $2,500 is a good number, and if you are willing to pay it, they will guarantee you a job offer of $100,000\/year or more! Sounds like quite a deal, right? Well, of course, there’s a catch. This organization, called TheLadders, is only opening this offer up to certain job applicants who meet their requirements. These requirements aren’t exactly clear, but it does involve a screening process. TheLadders is a job search company that targets high paying jobs and the type of workers that tend to occupy them. In this article<\/a>, the question of, “Are these the people who really need help finding a job?” is raised, and the answer, based on the data, seems to be no. Nonetheless, if you happen to have a stellar resume, an extra $2,500 lying around, and are willing to jump through a few hoops to prepare you for the job search, then this offer may just be what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n
