As a candidate, I strongly believe in not applying, in letting the company find you. Applying is a waste of time.

Also, one can get falsely accused of using ChatGPT in online interviews, so just don't start if the role doesn't have at least one on-site round. If you get ghosted or falsely accused anyway, report it on Glassdoor at once. Always also report the questions you were asked.

Easier said than done, innit? I'm privileged enough to have a relatively highly trafficked blog, as well as some social media following, so this could possibly for me, but plenty of candidates who are arguably more qualified than me don't have either.

There are simpler ways besides the standard social media, namely: LinkedIn, StackOverflow, GitHub. Among these, LinkedIn ought to be sufficient for 99% of candidates. It has landed me all of my new jobs over the last decade.

And why is glassdoor trustworthy?

I worked for a company that laid off 75% of their long term staff with zero severance right as glassdoor was getting popular. They off course got a bunch of deserving negative reviews. Within one year the company had buried all the bad reviews in a sea of obvious fake reviews.

Can't imagine what llm's are going to do for the entire fake review industry.
