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 looking for a new job!! It has been impossible to build a good relationship with my manager, he isn’t transparent with me and never provides any constructive feedback so I have no idea how I’m performing. I recently asked for a raise since I completed all my assigned projects for this year plus a few that I took on due to resignations and was denied with no reason. I’m so checked out and looking for a new job and manager that I can learn from and will help me grow, any help is appreciated!
