There are only two ways to handle online jobs: let recruiters find you or use an automated system that requires you not even to read the job description.
When 99.9% of posted jobs are fake (including in HN's Who's Hiring), these are the only ways to save your emotional health.
- hughdbrown 2y ago> When 99.9% of posted jobs are fake (including in HN's Who's Hiring) Okay there a lot of fake jobs, maybe not as high as 99.9%, though. But what's the basis for saying that "Who's Hiring?" is fake? Why would a business seek out a relatively lower traffic job venue, field the traffic of submissions, and then ghost everyone who applies (or whatever is done by 99.9% fake jobs)? Why wouldn't employers just save themselves the effort and do nothing?
