I don’t believe a word of it.

I would like to know what the deal is with the online job sites like Monster and such. The same jobs appear day after day or disappear and reappear. They could not find, in this large market and body of job seekers, a single person in months?

Submitting a resume only yields offers of franchise opps and resume assistance. I don’t think 20% of the jobs are real.

There’s a bunch of phishing job offers on Monster, CareerBuilders, etc.
After a while looking you can pick them all out of the lists.

There’s job offers that require money to apply - red flag

There’s headhunter listings that go no where - building their file cabinets of potential applicants.

There’s job offers that cycle constantly from reputable companies - they are filling their resume holding pools - not necessarily hiring.

Now starting to see ‘bonus up front’ ads - with a fee to apply - I believe the positions are from Nigeria.
