feels like i somehow only applied to the fake ones during my last job search. outside of the us for context, so should rule out the h1b explanation. seen many of them staying up for months on end, and getting reposted on job sites as if something just came up. many happen to send rejection mails when they finally bother closing them in their crm.
while i still worked on applying and writing custom cv/cover letters the "old-fashioned way", i don't envy the past where you'd do the same paperwork physically. but it is very draining and frustrating given how many more openings you end up applying for compared to the analogue yesteryears.
getting on the employment train is hard, but for most people you could then just rely on personal network and getting reached out for newer opportunities.
