Mysterio Amigo: I am not surprised. I reckon better than 80% of the vacancy postings on recruiting sites like Indeed, Workopoplis, Monster etc are fake or long expired to generate site traffic or worse nothing to do with jobs because they are just scammers fishing for personal info to sell to "analytics" firms who target advertising, or even identity theft. Job hunting used to be so much easier when the employer had to pay to put an ad in the newspaper for an XYZ technician. There was a certain "vacancies day" & you would buy a newspaper, trawl the back pages, write a letter with a dedicated resume & post it to the company by snail mail. This requirement to pay something up front weeded out the fake job ads & the "spray & pray" applicants. Then the Internet came along & things got REALLY complicated & frustrating...all in the name of being easier? A good job application takes at least 1/ 2 a day to do....but if 80% of them are returned to bogus jobs...

Bottom line is most HR personnel are incompetent and they themselves hinder the process.

I get contacted for jobs and they are't even sure on the specific of the job function, requirements and often it is a temporary position, but then they will ask me if I am interested. Many HR reps and recruiters will not even use email, they will just call at some random time and then ask you to call back, no time / day offered. So you wind up paying phone tag for days. I even had one that I emailed my phone number 4 times and she kept calling back on another number that I wasn't available on. Then she said that they had to 'move on' because they couldn't reach me.

You need a job in order to get experience, but you need experience in order to get a job. SO if no one will hire you, than how do you get that experience?

It crazy, my first job was in 2006. Back then I was getting interviews left, right and centre. I would also get calls pretty much daily from agencies, all without much effort. 15 years later, with 10 years experience in my field. I tailor my resume to each job, put in hours of work for some positions and now I can't find another position in my field.

I disagree about the 100% match thing. I've gotten jobs where I was not an ideal match, but something caught their attention about the way I presented myself in the cover letter and resume. In fact, most of my most successful positions were with jobs where I wasn't a match. Otherwise, there would be no way for people to switch careers or positions. I'm not saying it's the easy way, but I think people should keep themselves open-minded and seek the opportunities they truly want.

While I agree that it is harder to get an interview these days and that it's clearly due to the volume of applicants that employers are flooded with. I believe that it is also true that applicants have an easier time finding their ideal opportunity with the immense selection online. Perhaps it's the proverbial glass half full, but really it's just an expected trade off, when exchanging quality for quantity.

In some career paths, using social media might make you look incompetent, because it shows ignorance of server side data mining and risk mitigation.

After being out of work for over 3 months, I can't be fussy, so this is my personal feedback for these 6 excellent points; 1) I will have to try track dozens of companies that have a tiny chance of having a job that I can do. 2) I will try this when I can find any job posting to attempt. 3) I have looked at hundreds of posted jobs and can't match more than about 70% requirements at the best of times. This means that I have to try get past the ATS, but that seems impossible. 4) I have a broad skill set. Most jobs want some strength in a specific skill and so I can't beat those who focus on that one thing. 5) makes sense 6) I doubt that people 'know' (i.e. have personal credibility with) most of the people they are connected to on Linked In, but it is worth a try anyway.

I miss the good old days when you could get hired on the spot. And not have 1-3 interviews or panel interviews which are stupid.

This was so informative and power packed with great career advice! I have been completely frustrated with Indeed & couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong in not getting calls. I’ve really fallen into a depression from it believing I’m not as marketable in today’s industries. I am completely changing how I go about my search based on your tips! Can you give any insight to Zip Recruiter as a job seeking platform?

Classic, thanks for your advice about the application tracking system , I wasn't aware of this , I like your video, you make feel more personal ,I hope you are receiving good responses, enjoy your day , classic video , hi from chicago

Thank you so much! These tips are great!

An employer of any meaningful size will not care about you liking or sharing their posts. Still good advice since it's a possibility. Great information though.

Nice job tips.

extremely helpful...i wish i could go back in time and do it all over again, especially cover letters (mine were so tedious)

I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for your advice!!

My question is how do you follow up after applying for a job on line if you cant get a contact # and/or email of someone in human resources to inquire and they dont want you stopping in in person and inquiring? Never get past the front desk and/or security

It is a real conundrum. I am British but live in Canada but I find this sort of "cold calling" INCREDIBLY rude. I am an engineer not a salesman....a guy with a calculator & a scope probe. Sure I work well in teams of like minded engineers & technicians (technical weirdos) but cold calling? It is especially hard when you don't know 1> if a call will be well received. 2> who you are calling & what to ask. 3> if it is convenient. 4> if the job even exists!...because there are so many stale postings or non existent "click bait" postings.

I love this video! Yes! let's stop applying on Indeed and start being more selective in targeting and networking with employers that we can see a future with. J.T. O'Donnel has the BEST advice out there for all you JOB SEEKERS and CAREER CHANGERS!

Great insight! I work in consulting and just shared a video on navigating your job search during the Coronavirus ✨

Why should I have to be emotionally involved with the company? I have two decades of experience. They aren't seeking me out and telling me why they're so interested in my skill set.

Yeah to be honest i can’t get myself to pretend that I care enough about a company whose existence I found out about a few seconds ago. And I have yet to see job postings for a company that I sincerely care about. I just want a job where I can use my skills and survive.

My experience is that no amount of innovation in applying online has ever worked. The only way I've ever been able to get my foot in the door of a firm is through recruiting firms.

I'm sorry to hear that that has been your experience so far. I can say that while it's not easy to stand out when applying online it's not impossible. Using our disruptive job search methods, you can learn how to stand out from the sea of applicants and get those interviews. I would recommend checking out our disruptive cover letter tutorial as a good first step: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nZiJw8iNqJuYf7A.html

This method and these steps are great for the applicant who is only interested in applying for a position with one company. And yes, companies do feel good when they believe applicants only want to work for them, but how can any job seeker sustain this model, when 9 times out of 10, that one company won't even get in touch with them, let alone extend a job offer. Job seekers cannot just apply to one job with one company and put all their eggs and job application methods in that one basket. Additionally from what I've experienced, on LinkedIn when you reach out with a connection request...no matter how professionally you word it, if someone doesn't know you, they ignore your connection request.

Thank you! I was thinking this is impractical for someone who wants a job soon. At the moment I can’t afford to be selective and curate myself for a couple select companies. I feel the need to send a bunch of apps and template cover letters to as many postings as possible for now.

Thanx for this valuable information. It really showed me the most correct path to follow.🙏

I am frustrated. I do feel like I'm getting no where

Be selective in your application ...Easy to say when your government forces you to do so many applications or lose your benifits. This relates to extra work for employers who have to sift through piles of applications from employees that have no intention of working for them

Thank god I've been on indeed for over two months and I only got called maybe three times.

I think that it an awsome advise the disruptive letter is; so sounds good.

Any luck finding a job yet? Maybe try applying with the state or a government job.

This is the best advice I've had when It comes to this topic. Well, I just watched it so I haven't verified for sure,. But I'll come back and let you know. It really made me excited tho and feels like great ideas!

Omg this helped me so much, I got a job at Spencer’s because of this video… Keep up the great work❤

My biggest issue with applying to jobs is that they ask for years of experience that I don't have, even if the position I'm applying for is to be an intern. Should I apply to a job even if the only thing that doesn't match up is the amount of experience they require?
