I have a question I want to know your thoughts on. I read this online as a response to determine if a job posting is an "evergreen/ghost" job, and that is As a job seeker, you owe it to yourself to ask and receive solid answers to the following questions upon first contact with a recruiter -- internal or external: -- What's the budget salary for this role? -- Is this role fully funded? -- What is the latest anticipated date for onboarding this role? -- Please outline the hiring process, including rounds and timing... and if any of these get run-around answers, that its a big red flag. and to ask for these answers in writing.

Same as IT, tech, and engineering jobs. Stay away from the worthless job posting sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, and others. As you are still young, consider other possible paths including private tutoring, working in AI or robotics, fixing heating or air conditioning systems, or doing some accounting especially during tax seasons when the gvmt steals our money.

Google doesn't do a ton of interviews though. There are 3 interviews to get you approved as a candidate in the system. After that, you do interviews for roles. For an admin that might be 2-3.

There are a number of reasons for it. Its still evil but here are some of them. Primarily, it creates friction and interference in employee relations, this adds an arbitrary cost to hiring and searching making whoever provides a solution to removing this cost has a competitive advantage and can force others to carve off some money for themselves at the expense of everyone else (parasites). The only people that benefit are the people offing AI services to weed out applicants, head hunters, and nation states that have regime change in mind. The latter is well known, If people can't work they can't get food, which leads to violent unrest when they start starving. It also suppresses wages, but doing so below a certain point predictably leads to doom loops both in the birth rate and economically. We have a lot of blind evil people out there in positions they should not be in that are front-of-line blocking.

We became the socialist nightmare since 1929 (Herbert Hoover plagued us by setting the groundwork for con man FDR to continue his terrible economic policies and expand them aggressively , ushering us into this long progressive era. We never recovered from the disease that is progressive politics since 1933. The short of it, is that America is a socialist country for the rich and powerful. We don’t have “free markets” as we once did. The most important thing to pay attention to is how the government robbed this country of all it’s labor by inflating the price of gold, to eventually getting us off the gold standard. Until we have real money. Nothing in this economy will ever make sense. Don’t blame capitalism for what people do voluntarily from exchanges of goods and services. Blame this oppressive economic system created by the Federal government. I am not an anarchist, but know this, Capitalism exists without a government; socialism requires a government to have a monopoly on violence to achieve its end. Capitalism enables individuals to create their wealth. Socialism is a closed system for a few gate keepers to control the wealth of others. Don’t get hung up on the words, the elite of this country could care less what economic system they live in, as long as they get to rule over others and have more than the rest to feel like gods amongst mortals. Edit: To all the socialist who are triggard by math. I use to be a progressive who drank the kool aid. I got read up on the history of "America's Great Depression" by Murray Rothbard. Yall know not what you speak. I just told yall who didn't read what I wrote that we have socialist for corporations. You not bright to infer that we should have socialism for the poor. Socialism does not work for anybody. Stop playing your zero sum games. Your like crabs in a bucket. You see one con man who got one over on suckers and yall just envy the con man and say "why can't we just take from others like they do". You country is run by criminals. The lesson is not to become one yourselves. Lastly, don't kid yourselves about "democractic socialist countries". That fairy tale is the same lie you were sold about the unsustainable "american dream". You can't math a free lunch in any situation. Prove me wrong; go become a doctor and offer your services for free for the rest of your life. Show me the way. Show me the light.

I’m nearly 25 and I almost never get a response back when I apply somewhere. I got lucky with my current job as a driver for domino’s because my brother was working with them. He introduced me and I was given the job after the first interview, didn’t even need to show them my resume. It was a breath of fresh air to not have to wait to get any kind of response. There was one time I applied to a position online, and I get a response back after over a year had passed and I had already moved to a different city. This is ridiculous.

Just keep churning them out with at least effort as possible (just make sure your Resume/CV is top-notch and squared away)... I know it fknsucks, but just keep blasting them away. If you run into a generic job post that requires too many hoops/effort to apply (like reentering what's on your resume, lol, love that one), skip it! Just focus on mass applying to jobs that fit your specific actual field... and then just wait. Only other thing to do that will actually give you a decent chance of a response: reach out to your extended network! Your friends, your classmates, your professors, your parents, your extended family members, your church if you go there, etc. etc. And lastly, if the job is at least in the same area/field as you or adjacent with direct ties to your intended field... don't be afraid to accept jobs for lower or shyt pay (even if its somewhat insulting)... cause once you get in and can show your worth and work ethic, it becomes muuuuch easier to move around and into a new position that actually fits your field. And once you get that first real job, all the rest come much more easily (but still sucks, but not soul crushing, lol)

I've heard of companies using the hiring interview practical skills demonstration as a means of getting free work out of applicants. So, they let the applicant think they have a shot, give them a project to work on to demonstrate their skills (that just happens to be work they'd normally have to pay an employee for), then tell the candidate they weren't selected. Rinse and repeat for more free work. Not suggesting most or many companies do this, but it could be one reason that some employers keep reposting a position.

This is true. They do this. I went on one interview where the questions were TOO specific. One guy was feverishly writing notes as I gave my responses. They got their info, but I didn't get the job.

The sad part is that a friend of mine spent over 2 weeks doing a take-home assignment to be rejected. If he was able to see that he was being tricked, he could have spent those weeks sending more CV and going to interviews. My golden rule is if it takes more than 7h then don't do it

@skip2mylusantiago65 2 месяца назад

They do this! The law states if you do a working interview that they have to pay you. Many ppl are desperate to get the job they will do it for free

I was experiencing this poor guy's reality after college in 2009-10, again in 2015-16 and most recently 2023. Calling, filling and sending out applications, going to tours, going to interviews, talking to owners directly even! My parents couldn't understand it and I told them it's because you haven't had to be in the job market for over 40 years! You still think it's the f%$king 1970s/80s!!! It's brutal out here in the real world. Short term gains are prioritized over all else! If that requires shenanigans with hiring practices and employee retention or lack of retention, then that is what is being done in the name of profits! It's awful out here! And the lights haven't even gone out yet or a major food shortage or some other truly horrible scenario, and this is how cutthroat things already are!

Same, I graduated college in 2014. And looked for a job related to my degree for like a year and a half while working 2 retail jobs. The only interview I got turned out to not be what I thought I was intervewing for. It was similar to this kid where it was selling direct TV in Walmarts. And alot of companies just never reached out to you all. The only ones would would seem to schedule interviews were jobs not related to my degree at all. Finally took a full time security job, thinking I'd only be there another year maybe two while looking for a job. Ended up working there for 8 years before I just gave up looking for a job related to my degree. I last year decided to take an apprenticeship, which was a massive paycut, but overall decided that in the long run that company would be a much better job than my going nowhere security job. I still make less than I did but after finishing the apprenticeship I got bumped up in pay to only $4 an hour less than I made before and the benfits are way better than my security job ever was. Getting a degree was just a total waste of money. Biggest regret of my life. And my parents kept telling me to apply out of state. And I was. At one point my mom told me to just move without a job and then start applying there but I really didn't want to just fully move out with no job lined up and have same experience but in a different state without any people that I know or family to fall back on if I couldn't find a job.

Wow, this is insane I’m glad I went into trucking back in 2023 if the job market is like that now. I’m educated in customer service & never had an issue to get a job for it when I was a working in that field. I got into trucking for better & equal pay, I know with the experience I have in my career I could leave and find something right away the next day. I hate to see so many people struggle with finding employment. I know I struggled back then too finding a job but I didn’t know it was more complicated than what it really was.

This was my experience in 2022. It took 10 months to land an offer. I interviewed more than 100x and have gotten to the final panel several times. I did “projects” and writing samples, met in person and all. Hang in there, it gets better!

@drivethrupoet 2 месяца назад

I have gotten interviewed for "ghost" jobs. They're still posted out there 6 months later - but they update them so no one can tell how old they are. I have also been one of those throw-away interviews when they already have an internal candidate that's been decided on but HR requires a minimum number of external interviews. So since I have a Fortune 500 on my resume, they're just curious to talk to me. I'd say that's been at least 20 out of 50 total interviews. The issue with my area is that the jobs are remote or hybrid in all cases. So, I've been competing with the entire USA and then some.

Ah, internals requiring the facade of external hiring process.... I know it too well. :/ Unfortunately - nothing you can do. Just ignore it and move on. I wish you best luck. oh and learn at leas one foreign language well. in the U.S. this is still a big thing, so use it to your advantage.

When I was attending USC for business administration I was told the school was not training me for a job, but giving a foundation to be trained to do a job by the company that hires me. I have yet to see a company hire someone with the intention of training them first to do said job. Needless to say getting a job after graduation was f*ckin miserable ☠️ . Companies asking for 4-5 years of experience from recent grads...

Using the easy apply feature on most of these job boards I have applied for about 30 to 50 jobs a day. I did that because I would waste my time filling out the same crap on company ran job sites. Now I am switching back to filling out apps because I’m getting lost in the sauce with everyone else who does an easy apply. Also the scam recruiters are getting out of hand. EVERYONE is from India and recruiting for the same job and sending RTRs and calling back immediately to make sure you confirm their RTR. It’s bad out there.

@JennaGetsCreative Месяц назад

Interesting to hear that the job boards do have a way to auto-email all candidates when closing. I applied to a couple dozen places in March and April when I was worried that I wouldn't get my work term (internship) and was trying to go the route of getting a permanent position and exempting my college's work term requirement. 2 of those are flagged as closed on my Indeed feed but none emailed me and the rest are still pending.

@AnthonyBolognese710 2 месяца назад

the automated canned email response saying "thanks but no thanks" also explains why ive gotten rejection emails from companies even after signing the offer letter and/or working there for awhile. I guess they closed out the position and it just automatically sent the email to everyone who applied, even if they got in.

@FullLengthInterstates 2 месяца назад

lmao the automated rejection email happened to me at one of the jobs I was hired to. i didnt mention it to anyone, I figured getting escorted out of the building would be fun.
