Anyone else noticing a lot of ghost jobs? There are a few companies I have on my radar and I practically live on their job boards. But I notice there are a handful of roles that keep popping up or just never seem to be filled.

Just adding insult to injury when it comes to job hunting right now. I’ve been using Indeed or the like to find jobs, going to actual company sites to double check if they are even listed there, has helped cut down, but still a lot of extra steps we shouldn’t have to take.

Yes, fake jobs and jobs listed as remote that aren't. I just went through and saw 3 jobs I was interested in. The listing said remote, but the company website's say "position is on site". I think Glassdoor and Indeed are either adding "remote" to the listings or the companies are re-running existing job postings without reading them first. Many seem to be from back in the Covid remote days. We all know most companies have reeled-in remote work, so be sure to check the company website before applying. That way you can ensure the job is legit and truly remote if that's what you're looking for.

I tried referring a friend the other day and I could see it was internal only, but of course they don’t say that externally. Why even post it in that case smh

I saw an ad a while back that sounded promising. Spoke on the phone for 20 mins to the hirer named in the ad, Came away feeling a stronger sense of promise. Hurry, she said. We're closing tomorrow.
Applied.
Waited.
Nothing.
Called her up: "Actually, we're looking for someone with more experience in [specific area in which I'm well experienced]. Sorry."
Following week, near identical ad reappeared, with two key changes:
1. "Previous applicants are invited to reapply."
2. The pay range had dropped by $10K.

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

Looking for some UGC gigs. I can do unboxing and demos. Rates start at $100 for a video, and $20 per photo. which is significantly lower than others in the market. Just trying to get more content creation under my belt. I specialize in social media as a director in a marketing agency, so I know what will perform.
