Q1 has been an interesting start of the year. There seems to be an influx of "fake" job postings, especially on LinkedIn. Along with what seems to be a saturated market in the Tech Industry.

What do you mean by "fake" in this case? You mean, companies trying to give the impression they are hiring, or are you talking about scams?

The ghost jobs, resume collectors, and identity scam posts are a real problem since 2012. Its just gotten worse since AI. Now they can make a fake company, with a fake job, and fake recruiters. You now have to research everything before even applying, otherwise your could have some real problems.

There is FINALLY legislation coming to combat the estimated 30% or higher fake job postings on line.

Truth in Job Advertising and Accountability Act (TJAAA): This proposed U.S. federal bill aims to prohibit companies from posting fictitious, expired, or purely speculative roles. If passed, it would:
Require employers to remove job listings once filled.
Mandate transparency regarding hiring outcomes and salary ranges.
Allow job seekers to take legal action against employers who post deceptive ads.

There are other states making it illegal now as well.

Yeah there needs to be better verification of opportunities from the job site side. I think referrals are really the only way to go without wasting your time.

I’m in a sales support role and almost always receive very positive feedback in my 1:1 meetings with my bosses and during my more formal year end reviews, but I can’t help but feel like I’m stuck or I’m missing something that’s stopping me from getting to the next level. Would love any general advice on showing I’m ready to be promoted beyond sharing my desire to be when the situation is appropriate. Thanks!

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
