Ghost jobs out of control. As someone who has been casually looking for awhile I’ve see some of the companies I have alerts for and/or applied to repost the same job over and over for well over a year. I have a hard time believing they are having that it is anything but malice as they can’t be so incompetent to find no qualified candidates or experience such turnover in well over a year. Curious about others experience or insights or those who just want to vent!

Ghost jobs have been going on for awhile. I always check to see if the post says “actively hiring” or “promoted”. If it’s promoted, I don’t bother applying.

Agreed it’s insane! I don’t get the point of it it’s so frustrating

I report them to LinkedIn though LinkedIn probably doesn’t care.

In this job market there really isn’t a reason for that. Either you have a position open that you need filled or you don’t. I have seen the reasoning being that they are making like a pile of candidates, however if you contact me about a job months later, chances are I’ve already moved on.

Most of the jobs I've interviewed for have just been reposting and it's mainly the ones asking for free work. I refuse to do free work anymore. I also started posting on the reviews here about the ones asking for free work and then reposting the job.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?

I keep seeing people sharing about side hustles that they turned into a brand or an entire company. I'd love to do this, but I feel like I'd worry about time management and making everything work with two schedules. Has anyone in here successfully scaled their side hustle? Or is anyone trying?
