I'm told there are a lot of opportunities out there, and sure I can find a lot of supposed open roles on boards, but so far almost all of the roles I applied for came back saying they don't actually need anyone. Who else is running into this problem? Where do I go to look for the real jobs?

Ghost listings are a plague right now. Companies post roles to appear active or because internal policy requires external postings even when they already have an internal candidate earmarked for the jobs. The real jobs are there, but they're buried under a mountain of fake/terrible ones. I've had better luck on LinkedIn when I filter by "posted in the last 24 hours" and focus on companies I know are actually growing. I also flag companies I see reposting roles every month or two so I know not to waste my time applying to them.

I’ll check the company page to see what jobs are posted there. Look through the job description and make sure it sounds legitimate, including specific duties, qualifications, and so on. What are the red flags that a posting is old/fake/already filled that others see? It makes everything harder than it needs to be for those looking.

Getting a good job these days actually depends on your experiences😊Well there's a job opening I'd like to share. Celebrity Equinox cruise ship is currently in need of 14 workers. They pay upto $7k per 3 weeks, I believe they're more in search of Merchandise and Food&Beverage staffs, is anyone in for it?

Go directly to companies website! Job boards can be deceiving unless you know what you are looking for
