Hatebag posted:yeah a lot of employment websites like indeed or linkedin are riddled with fake jobs and recruiter bullshit. it's like trying to google something and you get 5 or 10 fake algorithmically generated websites. I've had more success just looking up companies on google maps and then going to their website and applying directly but some of those put up fake jobs too, it's crazy and I don't see the point of it i have to assume that half of all jobs posted that arent like complete garbage or entry level already have a candidate in mind but they have to go through the motions so it looks above board

the first 5 years of my career was spent traveling around the country and world installing physical servers that were all assumed to be required at sites but obviously all became remote services. they were all ripped out within 2 years of my leaving that project. i got the job because i played a cleric in a d&d group and had the ability to travel

The only job I ever got through a connection was one time I worked in a mail room and they fired someone and brought their stuff down and I joked "Does that mean there's an opening?".
