Something puzzling to me is that Glassdoor, LinkedIn, etc. recommends a job that you are 99% fit. You apply for the role and get rejected immediately after a month, you see that the same role is being reposted. Am I look at this wrong or is anyone else seeing this trend?

These are reserved spot for H1B candidates. Company has to prove to IMS that they couldnt find a suitable candidates among the people in the US, the help wanted ad is to fool the ims. That’s the whole purpose. Dirty and ugly business!

I completely agree with this. I've seen many H1Bs with no prior job experience landing jobs, while I have over 15 years of IT experience, an IT degree, and certifications, yet I've been unemployed for a few months.

I stopped applying for roles via LinkedIn or ANY job board some time ago, applying directly on the company's website. Also, your resume has to be tailored to the job description. In the US, companies use ATS (Applicant Tracking System). Even if you have the experience, but don't use their key words, your application will be rejected. Use their key words and phrases as often as possible within applicable roles.

Great advice.. thanks.

Agree with senior contracts writer. Many companies use a system that scans the resume for keywords and then a human looks at it if you pass that first check. Some are using AI now. your resume may not even get to a human being and are at the mercy of a machine. not sure where you live, here in bay area there are thousands out of work. I am 100% fit on everything applying for, but against 100s of others. It sucks

I have gotten several of those.

I’ve never heard of “Ghost Jobs” but in my previous company our manager used to tell us that there is complete hiring freeze and I keep seeing job posting by our company on many job boards. Now I know the reason behind it.

Many jobs are also posted to get applicants so they can reject and say we do not have enough qualified folks in the US and get visas for low paid workers

Ghost job listings should be illegal and have a high penalty (at least $100k per posting).

I want to join a start up in my industry but I need to rescind a job acceptance from a more establish company. I resigned from my old job and didn’t start the new job yet. Is the non compete I signed, as part of the job offer acceptance for the position with the bigger company, enforceable if I rescind my job acceptance before I actually start a new job? I don’t think it is. I didn’t receive a sign on bonus so no additional consideration was exchanged from my understanding of my law classes.
