Hi, Kim.

Thank you for taking my question.

So I've been applying for administrative positions for about six months now.

I use Indeed, LinkedIn, and ZipRecruiter.

And most of the jobs, when I go back to the feedback, I see that they have tens, some even hundreds of applicants, and more often than not, the application isn't even viewed.

But my experience with ZipRecruiter is that when I apply for a position on that particular website,

usually within sometimes even minutes or hours i receive i receive email or text message saying how what a great candidate i am and um what great offer they have for me and to follow this link to schedule interview and do this and this and that i don't do that because that i am suspicious immediately and

I am just wondering if these websites have no verification for the employers to post their job, or is there any way to spot a fake listing other than if it's a direct...

from saying, okay, you submit the resume to this Gmail address.

Is there anything I can do?

It seems to be everywhere.

Hello, this is Jana calling in from Massachusetts.

My too-niche-to-podcast conundrum is what do you do when you've been making small talk with a neighbor for like two years, but you still don't know their name and it's definitely too late to ask now.

But I'm glad Proxy is investigating other niche-to-emotional conundrums, which is why I recently became a member of Proxy's Patreon, because Yo-A and the team make this show independently and depend on listeners like you and me.

When you join the Proxy Patreon, you get benefits like hearing episodes without ads and exclusive Patreon episodes.

What a bargain.

Plus, you'll get a gold star for helping make the world's first emotional investigative journalism, which is important because feelings are everywhere and it's about time someone looked into it.

To become a member, go to patreon.com slash proxy podcast.

That's patreon.com slash proxy podcast.

Can I get the Windows 95 startup sound?
