The fake job listing trend isn’t limited to applicants with a broad range of expertise. These fake job postings are used for internal purpose (keep certain staff members / departments motivated, keep the HR department busy) or to avoid discrimination liabilities.”

Ghost Posting Issue:

1. Check the Job Posting Date

One of the first indicators of a ghost job posting is the date it was listed. Jobs that remain open for an unusually long time without updates might be inactive. Companies often leave these postings up to build a pool of potential candidates for future needs rather than immediate hires.

Actionable Tip: Set up job alerts to receive the latest postings and prioritize those listed recently.

Ghosting Posting of Job Opportunities:

The next series of posting will be about "Ghost Posts"

Definition: Ghost job postings are fraudulent job listings designed to mislead job seekers. These deceptive ads often promise enticing opportunities but never materialize into legitimate employment.

One reason for ghost posts:

Companies post ghost jobs for myriad reasons: They want to hire someone—eventually. The company wants to fill the role in the future, but the position isn't available yet (for instance, because they don't have headcount or they've instituted a hiring freeze). The listing is out-of-date or they're hedging their bets.

ATS Tip - Formats

 ATS Tip - Utilize a traditional resume format (i.e. reverse chronological) and stick to easy-to-read fonts always include bullet points. Graphs, logos, charts, tables, pictures and multi-column formats will block the scanners.

Resume Targeting - Keywords

  Resume Targeting - Keywords

In order to target your resume, you need to be sure the keywords are related to the job you are applying. Therefore, conduct some research into resume keywords that are specific to the position and the industry. A 'Google" search for the "Job Title" "Keywords" will provide fruitful results.

At this point, added these terms to the "Core Skills" section of the resume. Then, take a look at some job descriptions and take note of which keywords they have in common, making adjustments to match the job description.

The Disappearance Of Remote Jobs

The popularity of remote work has been declining since its peak in 2022. According to Axios, citing data from Indeed, job postings offering remote or hybrid options reached a high of over 10% in May 2022. However, by the end of July 2024, this figure had fallen to 7.6%, indicating a significant reduction in remote work opportunities.

This trend is exemplified by Amazon's recent mandate for employees to return to the office full-time, a move that could potentially trigger a domino effect across industries. Given Big Tech's influential role in shaping workplace norms, this pivot away from remote work may signal a broader return to traditional office-based employment, marking a notable reversal of the work-from-home revolution sparked by the pandemic.
