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. 😄
That is correct.
