In the job market, there's an imbalance which job seekers often don't pay attention to, I think.

For the most part, when a person applies for a job position, he actually needs a job, otherwise he wouldn't bother to apply for it. On the other hand, when an employer posts a job position, it may not have real intention to get it filled, for whatever reasons.

Shall we call it an "imbalance of good faith"?

Do I sound like I'm grumbling? Anyway, I'm not looking for a job right now. Just some observation of mine from others' examples, some of whom are job seekers and the others of whom are (potential) employers.
