They will list it for less than 24 hours and claim it was filled "internally". Even if a position is filled internally then it has to be left up for a least a day or two to be credible as they must interview candidates. And even then the interviews are just going through the motions as they have no intention of hiring employees from the outside.
I was laid off nearly one year ago. This is very true. I get interviews. I know I interview well. I am complimented on my resume and experience. I am not asking for the moon but I am not selling myself short either precisely because of the above. There is a tremendous amount of going through the motions. It is extremely hard
There is one job I applied for maybe 10 months ago and I got the generic rejection email. Except I am now on their job notification email. They STILL haven't filled it.
I met a guy who is a sole proprietor who runs his own coaching business. Most coaches work with white collar executives but he works small business and the trades, which is a little unusual. He wants me to do his biz development for him. It is a tremendous leap for me, outside my comfort zone. But that six months of emergency savings? Yeah that's gone, which really worries me. But at this point, corporate America has been giving me the finger. So I am giving them the finger back. I am only mildly terrified. 😄
The "search firms" at this point in time are total scams. In addition to fake job listings, they are collecting data for identity theft. Otherwise, why do the "recruiters" want someone's full legal name, social security number, and date of birth?
yes, there are best practices that you can use, one is I would make sure my credit is secure before considering them
Businesses that use search firms, likely don't have the resources to do the search themselves, want to shield themselves from the public in their search and probably have been burned in the past.
and after sending in a number of applications over many years, I only receieved one job from a search firm.
The job was a scam, the experience ended up being negative and I left the firm after (2) weeks. Then the search firm threatened me for signing their agreement and being responsible for their fees.
Everyone who lived thru the 70's and early half of the 80's should know that when an economy contracts, jobs disappear, banks and investors get scared and slow down or quit investing, inflation occurs, and the Fed subsequently raises rates to help keep the banks afloat. Why has the general public seemed to have forgotten this basic economic principle?
I'm not sure when it happened, but I do know that Obama's administration would count unemployment differently and not give us the "right" numbers. I'm not sure they made them up, but they probably did with some of them. I do know they started to count the unemployed much differently. So, I guess it could have started with earlier administrations with how our economy has been going so bad so quickly.
Many Job listings are fake.
Copies of original job descriptions are posted by search firms. Likely authorized by the corporations to do this. In On it.
Corporations cancel the job opportunities and don't hire. Doing this is unethical and manipulation of the job numbers.
Inflating job numbers is lying. Lying about jobs in this Republic to manipulate the stock market is manipulation.
Manipulation of the economy is treason.
Nailed it!👏🇺🇲
That is correct.

This should surprise no one. An idiot could tell you this without looking at any data.
