"Exploding" job offers used to target people on their 1st or 2nd jobs with little or no experience in how the hiring process works is borderline unethical.


Sometimes employers need to fill positions fast. In these cases it seems fair for an employer to take the stance: feel free to take time but we'll keep looking in the mean time and if we find someone else who fits then the offer will be withdrawn without notice.


A job offer is a business deal. The earlier on you learn how to do business, the better it is for your career.


So are used car deals. That's why we have lemon laws.

Getting a good deal by fraud harms everyone involved.
