You're Not Getting Past The ATS When You Apply To Fake Jobs

Well, of course you're not going to get a real interview when you apply to a fake job.

You probably won't get an interview at all when you apply for a job that's not representing a real hiring need.

Don't think this happens? Guess again ...

About 30% of all jobs advertised on job boards (including LinkedIn), and company career pages don't represent real jobs. This percentage goes up when hiring slows down, like it has in 2024.

Employers have real reasons to publish fake jobs, including recruiters trying to keep their jobs by meeting their interview metrics when hiring slows, and employers trying to fake the public, investors, clients, competitors, vendors that they are growing when they aren't.

Sure, it's a waste of your time applying to fake jobs ... but with so many fake jobs being posted, how can you tell which ones are real, and avoid being faked out?

Applying for fake jobs is one of many ways your resume gets blocked by ATS and human reviewers. What if you could learn how to avoid fake jobs and other traps that cause your resume to be screened out?

During my next complimentary webinar, I'll teach you more ways to get through resume screening databases, so you can land more interviews and find a great job fast.

I help people solve the most difficult job search problems, including job search acceleration, getting past ATSs, ageism, remote positions, product/job function/career/industry/ geographic change, unemployment, "bouncy" recent career path, job search turnaround, seeking raise/promotion, industry in decline/consolidation, long term gaps, family leave, or other of the most challenging job search issues.
