I'm not sure if this belongs here or not, but just wanted to rant a bit. I've been on Indeed for a few weeks, tired of my current place and looking for new opportunities. Since I am working have been more selective in what I'm looking for.
However ever since I updated my resume, I've kept getting messages from companies. Along the lines of “Hello, _____ saw your resume on Indeed and think you would be a great fit at our company. Please apply for for this job posting.”
So if the job looks interesting I do. And never hear back or even have my application viewed.
Do places just spam everyone on Indeed that looks like they might have even the slightest connection to their job? How am I supposed to follow through with them when they still haven't viewed my application two weeks after they messaged me?
It's not a big deal really, just disheartening.
Edit: Yeah, most of them are junk that I don't even bother with. What made me post was I found a job listing that seemed to fit exactly what I was looking for. So applied. After two weeks nothing, no views. Figured oh well.
Then the third week I got a message from their HR (an actual person I could look up) giving me the “Found on Indeed please apply” message. This place is local (like 5 minutes away), pays more and doing the extact kind ot work I'm looking for. Been two weeks since she messaged and nothing.
