I’m beginning to understand why some jobs have 300 applicants in a day. After reading through some job descriptions, they’re so broad and vague that it seems like anyone can do the job.

And then you get to the interview and realize what they really want. I feel like this is an easy problem to solve and save people time.

There are managers and recruiters out there using a bait and switch strategy. My last interview became hard because the job was barely described in the screen call and then one of the interviewers asked me how my day would look like in the job. Ridiculous when you consider the job ad was lying about the true responsibilities.

Agreed! I landed an interview with a recruiter only for them to tell me in the interview their client had a specific line of business they wanted the hire to have experience in. Total waste of everyone’s time!

So I’m engaged in an interview process for a top FinTech company. It started the 1st week of August and just now I’ve gotten word from my recruiter that they didn’t update on any decisions made. I had my 3rd & final interview last Friday. My recruiter doesn’t communicate well nor does she let me communicate with the company direct. May I being led on? Am I still in the race for this role in your opinion with the details stated. Please message me if you would like to know more in detail.

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry. While I look for work, it’s a bit discouraging seeing how hundreds of people apply for positions I see on LinkedIn. I still apply because you never know and AI plays a huge effect in selections. Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?
