Right now I finishing my MSc studies in Canada and I am at job hunt with pretty solid background. It is unbelievable. It seems all the ads are literally lie. Nobody answers any email. Nobody even invites to any interview. I am starting to think all the ads are lie to import foreign workers. P.S. I don’t know why my parent comments got negative vote. But I totally would vouch for his/her estimation.

No no, the problem is that you're a lazy entitled millennial of course.

  Maybe you are right. But I don’t want to admit it. But I would not call someone with two publications in MICRO and a lot of coding experience (with demonstrably coding skills) and MSc from top tier cs school in Canada a lazy millennial.

Judging from your post, your English grammar could use some improvement. It's possible you're experiencing discrimination for that reason. Have your resume and cover letter edited by a fluent/native English speaker, and you may see increased response rates.

  Your point about grammar is correct. But you have to take to the account I am not going to proof read a comment. I just don’t have that much time. But I totally get your point. When I am applying to job I at my best.

>It seems all the ads are literally lie. As someone who's been in tech for over 20 years, let me explain. There are many reasons why job ads get posted, and not all of them involve the existence of an actual job that a hiring manager is trying to fill. In some cases, it's just a staffing agency trying to build a resume database. In other cases, it's HR conducting market research on compensation levels and talent depth in a particular geography. Sometimes, as has already been noted, it's to fulfill a legal prerequisite to bringing in visa holders. After awhile, you sort of learn to spot the fake postings.

  Thanks for your thorough explanation. Can you point to me what should I look at when I want to spot an actual job from fake one?
