Your comment seems like shilling, coming from a new HN account, but I will assume your sincerity.
> I don't think it's a wrong approach.
Cool. You can use whatever job hunting strategy and tools you like.
> Do you not have any issues with companies using ATS to disqualify qualified applicants in thousands, and posting fake and ghost jobs?
I have learned how to bypass those systems, so yes, I have “issues,” but I don’t expect I will change the reality of those systems by myself.
> Usually when people come on here to use terms like 'old-timer', it's to give them some ethos to allow them to hate on everything not from their time.
Consider your own ethos jumping to conclusions like that, and making unfounded generalizations. I used the term “old-timer” because I have more than 40 years experience in the software business, including both lots of job hunting and screening/interviewing candidates. I didn’t hate on anything. I suggested trying better job hunting strategies rather than optimizing an obviously poor strategy.
As for “not from their time,” I still work in the business. Do you exist in an alternative timeline?
