Overview: Job listings are another traditional job search red herring! Why? Because everybody thinks that's how you get a job. First of all, advertised job listings are rarely representative of actual openings. They usually represent feelers that an organization is putting out to see what's out there. Secondly, these listings are not posted by the person who's responsible for making the hiring decision. Thirdly, since your only form of communication is your resume, you're leaving it up to someone who's hired to do his/her best to screen you out. And finally, when you answer a job listing, you're creating your own competition.
