This is my new daily reminder of how much I hate this timeline. I’m a professional who got torpedoed on a new job a year ago because of some hidden noncompete language. I’ve been searching for a year now and I’ve literally already applied to all of these “You’d be a top applicant!!!” listings. Except these openings are clearly not real. They’ve been out there for too long with no movement. Some I recognize as having already been posted as ghost jobs a year ago and never filled. Some I can actually see my still unopened Workday submission from the last time they ghost posted. Lovely.
