If it's been more than 30 days, that's an old posting.
Chances are that job has been filled or they're at least very far down the road in the process.
The recruiters I talk to say pick up the phone or email the company, have a little gumption, figure out who the hiring manager is or who a good contact in HR is,
And just call them up or reach out directly and ask.
It's work, but if it's a job you actually do care about before you pour blood and sweat and tears into a resume and cover letter and all that, it may be worth it to do that.
All of this leads to a lot of frustration on the job seeker end.
I mean, where to start?
There are so many...
angry, and just sad people.
It's almost like there are millions of people who feel like the world is gaslighting them because they read headlines like we have in the Wall Street Journal that says, we just had a great jobs report.
And it makes people think, well, if everything is so great and people are getting jobs, why do I feel so stuck?
Why am I not getting traction?
It takes longer to get hired.
And that's because employers start to second guess themselves.
Do we really need to be spending this money?
They start saying, well,
If we only need to fill three jobs instead of 30 jobs, we're going to get the perfect people.
And we're going to take our time.
And instead of interviewing people, you know, for two or three rounds, we're going to make them do eight or nine rounds.
And that is also frustrating a lot of people because they get through this very labor-intensive process and then get, quote, unquote, ghosted.
