1. Ghost jobs are advertising for all involved

The websites, the employers, the recruiters. Some companies post the same job for months and months.

So, the jobs are all fake. Now, thanks to AI, the candidates all have fake resumes. Everyone is unrecognizable, to employers and to themselves.

As a result, all candidates look the same on paper. Match the job description, address gaps, upskill to skills you barely use and can't pronounce.

Best advice: ignore all that. Be yourself. Wow them with the real you.
