The executive-level role, reposted at around 6pm on Nov 3<\/a><\/span>, displayed an automated message instructing applicants to “Please copy from Word Pad instead of Word Document” instead of providing information about the position or required qualifications.<\/p>\n The post, marked “Promoted by hirer,” showed that over 100 people had clicked “Apply.”<\/p>\n A StarHub spokesperson said the post was made during a system test and “was not intended for external publication, nor does it reflect our approach to recruitment or employer branding”.<\/p>\n The company added that it is reviewing all current listings on its career platforms.<\/p>\n The LinkedIn post was shared on Reddit’s r\/singapore subreddit by user @cognitan, who wrote: “What’s the point of even applying? Is this a typo or just blatant social experiment?”<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Many commenters joked about the unusual instructions, with one saying: “I think I’m qualified for this job. I can copy paste extremely well.”<\/p>\n Others noted the post highlighted the challenges job seekers face in Singapore’s competitive market.<\/p>\n Some also suggested applicants reach out directly to recruiters and tailor their resumes, rather than relying solely on online job listings.<\/p>\nStarHub clarifies the executive role listing was not meant for public view<\/h3>\n
