Ghost Jobs

This is the reality of the job market today in the United States and most of Europe. Fake Jobs. Fake Recruiters. Fake Salaries. Fake Intentions.

Oracle has appointed Hilary Maxson as its new Chief Financial Officer shortly after reports of major layoffs affecting around 30,000 employees globally. According to company filings, her package includes a $950,000 base salary, a performance bonus target of $2.5 million, and a $26 million equity grant, bringing the total value to nearly $29.5 million.

@randomrecruiter This was a good laugh lol

If you're going to use an AI photo on LinkedIn, at least make sure it resembles you. We had a candidate rejected today because they looked completely different from their profile. The client thought the real person was a bait and switch imposter. The person who showed up was significantly heavier and looked about 10 years older.

@ezekiel_aleke A 23/24 year old assuming they did 4 years in College for their degree would have 1 year of experience at most. There is zero chance she became a Senior Data Analyst making 90,000 that quickly without a nepotistic hand out.

This story will change your perspective❤️

@RealPostFolder This definitely tracks. This is basically the same thing as a:

I can't stand those automated systems they use. They work exclusively off of keywords and constantly dump resumes of great candidates.

@NxHeroes @end3of6days9 "You can make 200k remote with one tech job.." How about we put it to the test. Search on Indeed or LinkedIn right now and confirm whether any jobs are advertising "Fully Remote" with 200K+ Salary.

@end3of6days9 218 for two jobs sounds kinda shittty but I guess it would depend on the job. You can make 200k remote with one tech job..

💼 This woman secretly worked TWO full-time remote jobs at the same time… for two whole years. Tatiana from Orlando was pulling in around $218,000 a year with a dual-monitor setup, quietly juggling over 40 overlapping Zoom meetings (muted mic, perfectly angled cameras so she looked fully present for both). She was crushing it — one company promoted her and the other kept inviting her to leadership meetings. Everything was smooth until both companies suddenly demanded everyone return to the office at the same time. She put in remote requests with each… but they shared the same HR department! HR connected the dots instantly and fired her from both jobs the same afternoon. She told HR, “Look at my performance reviews — I’ve been rated excellent at both companies.” By that evening she updated her LinkedIn… and recruiters flooded her DMs by the dozens. Do you think she deserved to get fired for this, or were the companies the ones who actually lost out big time?

@MoSuvo @TheGeorgePu "Optimise your resume" Translation: "Lie your ass off and hope they don't notice"

@TheGeorgePu Optimise your resume for the AI that replaced you so the AI screening applications will forward it to the AI that writes the rejection email

Nobody talks about the worst part of AI displacement. It's not losing the job. It's applying to 200 jobs after and hearing nothing. Because the same AI that replaced you is screening the applications.

@PrivOSAI @andrewchen Isn't this what technical tests were supposed to be for?

@andrewchen Makes total sense, when AI can generate perfect resumes and interview answers, the only real signal left is execution. The same shift is happening in security, too. You can’t just claim trust anymore. You have to prove it.

noticing a trend of startups replacing standard resumes/interviews with week-long (or at least 3-day weekend) in-office trials. Makes sense in a world of AI-generated resumes and interview responses Turns out the best signal for whether someone can do a job is watching them actually do the job. took us 100 years of HR to rediscover apprenticeships!!! 😂

@itsthewealth4me @SymoneBeez The current system of 800 people applying via a Resume for one position clearly wasn't sustainable. Not to mention the number of 👻 Jobs these days...

@SymoneBeez what the entire fuck lol smh

In Office trial? Instead of a job interview process? That sounds insane.

Even with a CPA license and 5+ years of experience, this individual still can't secure employment... No doubt they have been applying to a bunch of:

@thelucashalden @DudeWhoInvests You need to be hired first buddy

@DudeWhoInvests Get a job; any job so you can pay the bills

So who’s gonna tell him?

@therealjonmoss @OverKill_Rush @timothy10x19681 @mil000 Sure, but not everyone can benefit from an investment from their parents at 0% interest. Working for another person is required to give 98%+ people a chance at being the owner of something that isn't guaranteed to Fail within 5 years.

@FakeGhostJobs @OverKill_Rush @timothy10x19681 @mil000 You’re never gonna get ahead having a job. You have to be the owner.

0% of people who drop out of college because of videos like these will ever own Supercars in Dubai. They will end up getting stuck doing door to door window cleaning sales in Scottsdale AZ.

@KLGWho @neppy Security Deposit + 1st Month Rent + Moving Van It would only be worth moving if you can find a unit that is half that price. Where do you think offers rent of $950 per month?

@neppy why the fuck is your rent 1900? id move.

How am I supposed to pay: $1,900 rent $300 power $120 water $200 internet $180 car insurance EVERY MONTH while making $17 an hour???

@sec_hub93028 The only correct response: You appear to be describing Artificial General Intelligence and i\m afraid that it is nothing more than a marketing ploy Sam Altman uses to boost investment interest for his baby. Don't fall for the intentional marketing hype.

You're in a cybersecurity interview. Interviewer: AI knows more than you, can write better docs than you, can even recommend better ways to fix insecure code. Why should we hire you? What's your response?

@itsthewealth4me A program needs to be running in the background for it to hear. I imagine you might be thinking "Microsoft Teams" and while it will always remain a potential source for espionage, no such vulnerability has been confirmed as of this date.

Unpopular to say but your work computer is listening, please be mindful

@therealjonmoss @OverKill_Rush @timothy10x19681 @mil000 "All the tools available" are being used by both the recruiters and the applicants, so there is no significant net advantage on either end.

@FakeGhostJobs @OverKill_Rush @timothy10x19681 @mil000 Can’t make it in today’s market with all the tools available means you couldn’t make it 20 years ago either.

@ValeriaAbsinthe @Sugary_Carousel This ☝️

@Sugary_Carousel Not to mention it's gotten a LOT harder to get a job these days, what with ghost jobs, requiring tears of experience for an entry level job, and so on. So even if one WAS able enough to work, there's not much out there

Im noticing discourse shift to "artists shouldnt make a living wage because they should have a real job" is alarming considering most artists do art because they're disabled and can't do traditional work ^_^ we probably should try not to devalue art

@OverKill_Rush @therealjonmoss @timothy10x19681 @mil000 This ^

@therealjonmoss @timothy10x19681 @mil000 M8, look at the world, the job market and economy is fucked, ghost jobs are everywhere, you need 3 years of experience for an ‘entry level job’.. The list goes on, companies still had a brain in their head during your ‘hay day’.

@cyber_razz "Networking" or Brown Nosing?

“I want to study cybersecurity” Mfs when it’s time to study networking:

@digiarpit @mange_manali What are they going to do? Track down your new workplace, and force their hiring team to fire you? lol

@FakeGhostJobs @mange_manali You can't abscond

A serious DEADLOCK blocking multiple opportunities

@aproko_senator @Dearme2_ Artificial friendships are not legitimate friendships. By this I mean, if the friendship developed because of an environment you were both present by necessity (Job, Hospice Care, School), then it wasn't founded organically. For me, this means that they were illegitimate.

@FakeGhostJobs @Dearme2_ I have made a lot of them in the workplace.

STOP socializing at work - No drinks after work - No weekend picnics - No lunch with the team Colleagues are NOT your friends. NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
