We Need Your Voice: Tell Us How Ghost Jobs Have Affected You

The fight for truth in job advertising is gaining momentum—but to turn public concern into legislative action, we need your help.

Over the past several months, the Truth in Job Advertising and Accountability Act (TJAAA) has made its way into the halls of Congress. Lawmakers are listening, asking questions, and beginning to understand how fake, misleading, or outdated job ads—so-called ghost jobs—are damaging real lives.

But data alone isn’t enough. What they need now are stories. Real stories. Your story.

Why Your Story Matters

We’ve spoken with legislative staffers who are interested and concerned—but they need to understand the personal impact. Numbers make it clear there’s a problem, but empathy moves policy. Your experience could be the one that tips the scales.

Maybe you applied for a job only to find it had been filled months earlier. Maybe you went through multiple interviews for a role that was never real. Maybe the emotional toll, financial stress, or wasted hours still linger. This matters. And it’s time lawmakers hear it directly from the people being affected.

Share Your Experience

We’ve created a short and confidential form for you to share what happened, when it happened, and how it affected you. Submissions can be anonymous and will be used only to help policymakers understand the human cost of ghost jobs.

Submit your story here: https://forms.gle/4fwFj2YJynaGmZzN6

The Big Picture

The TJAAA isn’t just about holding employers accountable. It’s about restoring trust, fairness, and transparency to one of the most vulnerable moments in a person’s life: the job search.

Whether you're unemployed, underemployed, or simply tired of being misled by digital hiring practices, your experience matters. If we speak up together, we can end ghost jobs for good.

Help Us Spread the Word

If you've already submitted your story—thank you. Please share the form with friends, colleagues, or anyone who’s been burned by a ghost job. Every voice helps. Every story counts.

Together, we can build a hiring system rooted in truth, not manipulation.
