1 年I like the reader Q&A. I’m sure even with your inbox exploding with emails, I’d bet that the questions often fall into the same couple of buckets, no matter the industry.

1 年Great questions, I feel the pain behind them having recently been job searching for several months. And as usual great answers. I'm gonna expand on a couple... The best way to explode the "fake job post" myth is simply pointing out that external ads cost alot of money (alot!). A large company might 'fake' post on their site just to create a pipeline, but none are wasting $$$ posting fake ads on LI, Glassdoor, Indeed, etc. NB: In my experience at a Big4 consulting firm, their months-old 'evergreen' posts were legit too; the need was constant. As you said, apply no matter when it was posted and yes, every application is seen by human eyes. Re. online education. I think it depends more on industry than the hiring individual's whims. It's respected in tech because it aligns with the delivery method, and also because it requires ongoing learning more than most. Cutting edge stuff won't be in a college or live bootcamp curriculum til next year at best. (I can't speak to other fields. But I'd guess that just as, say, finance and law are uptight/old school -against remote work, for eg.- so it probably goes with their acceptance of online learning.)
