After applying to 500 Jobs from job boards and communities for 3 months straight with only 18 emails been opened. You followed up and no pim after that.

I have come to the realization that Job board application’s isn’t worth it. After starting glued and sticking like a watch job to submit a job 20-30 mins after being posted and getting ghosted.

I have seen someone commit sucide because she was not able to get a job and have been asked to pack out from where she was leaving. This job hunting game is survival now 😂.

Why post a job if you have given it out already?

They are always hiring but it is unpaid

Just to massage ego and a subtle way of advertising their useless brand

That's d scam we are all talking about,

I understand the frustration, and unfortunately, many job seekers can relate to this experience. 💔

Applying to hundreds of jobs, tailoring CVs, writing cover letters, and getting little or no response can be mentally exhausting. The silence often feels worse than a rejection because you're left wondering what happened.

That said, not every job posting is fake or already filled. Sometimes recruiters receive thousands of applications within hours, and many qualified candidates never get a response simply because of the volume.

The reality is that job boards alone are rarely enough in today's market. Networking, referrals, direct outreach, personal branding, internships, volunteering, and building relevant skills have become just as important as submitting applications.

To everyone currently job hunting: please don't tie your worth to the number of rejections or unanswered applications. A delayed opportunity is not a reflection of your value.

And if you're feeling overwhelmed, please talk to someone. No job is worth your life. ❤️

Let's keep supporting one another and sharing opportunities, strategies, and success stories. Your breakthrough may be closer than you think. 🙏🏽

Its the same everywhere.

Job postings is a form of marketing, it create a brand awareness, and they also use it to understudy current market dynamics.
It's just like people also attending interviews when they don't even plan to change jobs.
I have a friend that constantly apply and attend interviews even when he is not ready to consider the offer

The HRs posting these jobs have mental health issues

Quelme:

It's a terrible experience. Medical personnels can't relate. Money we no get, but joblessness, NO.

Make believe
Fulfilling all righteousness.
Formalities sake.

To fulfil all righteousness. Fear that the govt might sanction them.

I remember when they announced a vacancy at my office, someone internal qualified and won the job, but HR is still required to advertise it as an audit requirement.

Meanwhile its already occuppied.

Very useless set of people
