A man shared an interesting story his cousin, who works as a human resource officer, told him.
The man said his cousin was actively hiring staff for the company she works for.
However, Manny Madumise-Mokoena said her sister was calling those pencilled down for an interview, and they were giving her excuses.
Manny indicated the applicants said they might not attend the interview because it was December.
He said on X:
"My cousin told me the wildest thing yesterday. She is in HR, she says when she calls people for interviews they tell her it’s December. With this high rate of unemployment."

Reactions as people give reasons to avoid interview
@KuhlezaK said:
"Secured all these vacancies well in advance for people to also properly plan themselves. As an organisation they are simply prying on their insecurities which is unemployment cultivating a culture of reliance for a living rather than a symbiotic relationship."
@Mfo_kaSithole said:
"Believe me it's the most annoying thing, because come January, the same people will be bothering you for work opportunities. It's 23rd today and I'm still working finalising some candidates' offers."
@MartinMmako said:
"It happens. I do reasonable shortlisting and interviews. You will hear a lot of excuses about not honouring interview invitations."
@NwambatiniTM said:
"Hence I don't plan any interviews in December cos candidates are not available, I close all recruitment work in November."
