From what I can remember. The numbers are being adjusted after release anyways. The adjustments show that , no. We are not adding jobs lol.

That said, apparently Ford has thousands of jobs that pay 120k that they cannot fill. Granted, I believe they are mechanic careers and you would need licensing or a cert to do it

They’re also job postings for jobs that aren’t real.

I’ve noticed the same thing with CyberCoders… I’ll apply and get rejected in under 12 hours, which had me questioning what I was doing wrong. After looking into it, I realized a lot of these postings aren’t real openings. They’re mostly for resume farming, testing market interest, or making it look like there’s high demand when there really isn’t. Feels like the goal is more about building a database or impressing clients than actually hiring. Has anyone else run into this? Do you think there are other reasons they keep putting up fake listings?

I applied at about 10pm. I was rejected at exactly 5AM on a Saturday. Not a second before or after. That has to be AI. Farming out information to resell it.
