Question by cricket: How can you tell which job is fake and which is real? Lot of time gets wasted applying for fake job listings?
My university professor said that many of the job listings in private and government sector are largely fake and that the recruiter or hiring manager will only hire his friend or relative for the job.

He said its already pre-decided who will get the job (the friend or relative) but they still have to list the job to meet the state, federal, or company guidelines. And the listing is only to satisfy these rules. In the end all applications are trashed and the pre-determined candidate walks through the process.

I personally know this is very true because lots of people have told me the same thing. This is one reason why its so hard to find a job nowadays. Because they are not hiring on merit. They are hiring on personal relations only.
The professor even goes further and says, “about 99 percent job listings on websites like monster and careerbuilder are fake or bogus. you will not get any job until you have at least phd”
He said he has decades of experience working within human resources of big companies and this is a common practice
This is pure discrimination. The government needs to look into this. Its one big reason the economy isn’t recovering.
I spend hours and hours applying, only to never hear back anything. And I have master’s degree in physics with 4.0 GPA. Time is money too
