    Firstly they’re students. They haven’t done a job application yet - and quite frankly, a lot of them don’t know obvious shit because, well, they’re young.

    But also, a lot of “professionals” who really should know better do stupid shit too.

      Being young or being a student doesn’t mean you’re dumb. Also even if you haven’t it’s still something you think about and discuss. Especially by your third and fourth years, it’s something you should be actively thinking about more and more.

      I finished school two years ago by the way. Not trying to give you hope for the future or anything because a lot of people are dumb but they should know better.

      This has been common practice in schools for several years now. Students are well aware of this tactic.

      Im surprised that some students were caught off guard, because anyone in Dark mode can easily see the white font.
