WARNING: Fake Job Listings Are On The Rise! Beware Of This SCAM!

Great info! I inherently steered away from jobs that were older than 30 days but what about jobs that are being reposted? Are those likely ghost or high turnover jobs as well?

I saw a couple that were copied and pasted. The genius who wrote the ad did not change the company name.

Hello Professor Heather, firstly I'd like to thank you for helping me land multiple job interviews using the free resume template you provided and showing how to use AI to supercharge and format my resume.

I have a question. I don't know if you know what enhancv is, I saw the ad while looking at some of your videos. What are your honest thoughts on it, would you recommend it?

The resume does end up looking more fancy when one uses enhancv but then I wonder if it takes from the simplicity of how a resume should resemble... either way, thanks a lot for your channel and free videos. Blessings

I don't think that "companies" are the only parties that post ghost jobs. I'm now beginning to suspect that hiring managers use fake postings in order to fill in blocks of time on their calendars to create the appearance of productivity.

The only issue is that recruiters and HR lie a lot so these questions cannot really help me

Thank you SO MUCH for creating these videos that are a great free resource, I really need these prompts to reset my job seeking strategy!

Looking for the link to the Forbes article? Am I missing it?

Yes. It was many, many, many years ago, before the invention of ATS and rampant, nasty robo calls. I saw a job posting from a reputable office that I think is a perfect fit for me so I applied. After many tries and attempts to follow up, I finally got to talk to the hiring manager. When I politely tell her my reason for calling, she just casually replied "Oh, we are not really hiring. That (posting) is just to see what's out there." So this practice is ages old.

EVERY TIME I listen to your videos and podcasts, I come away thinking about the job process from a clear, systematic, and helpful space. Thank you for addressing this issue which is sitting out in the ethos making job hunting and landing so arduous. Can't wait to watch more!

The video was a great and informative one. Thank you.

Short, sweet, and to the point. I like this. There is great content and not alot of watching time to get there. Simple rules of thumb that anyone searching for a second part-time online job like myself can take to heart and remember.

Fake jobs are every where . And long ass convoluted and multi step applications and interviews for jobs that only pay 16-18/hr it’s the new Great Depression.

That’s thanks to democrats. Keep voting for them if you wanna be jobless 😒

I've heard about the impact & power of 'Storytelling' in getting hired at interviews but before that which such skill or trait is essential to get called in for interviews as freshers.. Does meaningful conversations or something like it works on LinkedIn to engage with recruiters.. what should be the steps taken to reach the doors of interview process..

Very helpful! Thank you so much ❤❤❤

It's so frustrating and disheartenng.
