Indeed has always been a JOKE
Indeed has been the only other website besides Craigslist in which I've landed interviews (one).

My headhunter said that she already has a list of jobs she will be looking for, but the start date is not until after January 1st.

So things were improving a little bit, but will be stalling for the next three months.


I wouldn't consider you lucky until December 14th

Indeed is just an aggregate search engine. If you have issues with it, those are your issues. Don't blame a search engine.

The main issue with it is the emailing of positions that were posted 2 days ago. That's means you resume may not even be seen because so many was submitted over a 48 hour period. If a job is posted tomorrow morning, Indeed won't send it until Monday.

Most Indeed job listings, once you click them, direct you to whatever website the job was posted to apply (sometimes it's CareerBuilder or Monster).

But the 2 day delay maybe playing a huge role in someone not getting any call backs for interviews.

It depends. Some ads transmit to Indeed almost immediately after being posting elsewhere, other times there's a 1-2 day lag.

You really won't know which ads are "dated" until you search through them.

But honestly, if there was any other site besides Craigslist that I would recommend to someone looking for a job, it's Indeed.

Go to the company's website, and you have as much assurance as you can get that the posting is up-to-date. There- problem solved!

But how often is someone going to keep checking a website if it says..."no openings" for several weeks?

So then why is the stock market rising again? If people are still out of work, or taking jobs for less pay, then they have to be buying less. Does this effect the stock market at all?

I can't quite understand this whole thing - less jobs, less money for workers but stock market is rising and recession is over.
Jobs would be in China, Mexico, Brazil,etc.
