That Plum Job Listing May Just Be a Ghost

[Victor_c3]

2. Interesting. I saw a lot of ghost job listings when I was trying to get a federal government job

It was super frustrating. I would spend a decent amount of time tailoring my resumix resume to ensure that I had all the key words from the job description included somewhere in my resume (in order to make sure you make it past the bot that pre-screens all resumes before a person sees them), click submit, then hear nothing back. I spent two months applying to 60-100 jobs and I only heard back from two of them - and I get a huge veteran hiring preference being a disabled veteran and all which is supposed to make it easier for vets to get jobs with the federal government.

As an aside to your THC comment, I never once had to take a drug test when I worked for the federal government as a civilian. I was drug tested all the time in the military and, when I first got out, I was drug tested all the time when I worked as a manger for Amazon putting books in boxes. I got a job working at the US Mint and handled countless millions of dollars worth of precious metal on a given day and I was never once drug tested. Go figure.
