These job aggregate web sites are SO FRUSTRATING.
Who knows what algorithms they are using to match you to a job?

I had one field engineer job app rejected because I had no experience in retail sales or music.

WTF does any of that have to do with fixing electronic systems in the field?

Oh they are the worst. Many I got were indeed in my area, but others were just about 9 ballparks away from anything I had ever done or would ever be qualified to do.

I seriously wonder if they are part of the problem with people finding jobs.

At least back in the day, when you were looking at a newspaper you knew that (99.99999% of the time, because I think even then some ads were fake, maybe they were part of some spy code or something, I don’t know) the job was real and it was available. It cost good money to put an ad in the Sunday Times and nobody was doing that as a lark and the ads didn’t stay in for weeks (and months!) on end once the job got filled.
