Beware the rise of 'ghost jobs' – fake job openings with no intent to hire (www.cio.com)

I have been looking for a job since January. Every day I respond to a hundred vacancies. But the vacancies are the same, they do not change for a whole year. And I receive hundreds of rejections. The rest are offers to do free tasks, they need to be done for several days. When I did such tasks, the owner of the ad disappeared after receiving the decision. Once I went through a series of interviews for a whole month, and even received an offer to work as a programmer. Imagine my surprise when I was offered to sign not an employment contract, but a military one, to serve in the army.
