Job Seeker Beats The System By Calling Companies To “Schedule” Non-Existent Interviews, Gets Results
Getting attention from companies you apply to is nearly impossible these days. Applications go into a void. Resumes disappear. Many companies can’t keep up with the volume, so most candidates never hear back. You have to think outside the box to even be seen.

They’re banking on companies being too disorganized to check. Bold? Yes. Dishonest? Also yes. Effective? Apparently. Here’s their story.
