I made an auto hotkey script that opens up tabs for all of the job sites with my preferred search terms. Then I can quickly scroll through them every day. You just do your search and save the URL then have AHK open a new tab with that URL, that way you didn't have to type anything in or mess with settings. I also recommend using incognito so that the sites didn't hide jobs.

What job site hides jobs from people?

Do they hide them so you will pay for a better search result?

I'm currently searching for a job for after I relocated to a new town and Indeed sucks ass, I choose the town and it gives me jobs in other provinces.

If you're logged into indeed it will only show you jobs that are the same as your experience level. I'm not sure about any of the other sites, I didn't really have accounts on many of them. If you're looking to find a higher paying job, it will hide them. I forgot to mention to delete the session id from the URL. If you copy the URL after searching, then it will still have information in it that tells the site who you are.

You can also use Google to search and it aggregates jobs from across many different job sites.

I've never logged into Indeed, but likely they are using trackers to see who I am and what jobs I'm looking at.

Google sucks, many ads were expired but still showed up in the results.

I just make a bookmarks folder and right click (open all bookmarks)...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's too many clicks for me, I have to launch the browser and find the bookmark folder? I can just run my script.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

What do you do on the computer that your browser is not already open?

Once it's open you can middle-click the folder to open all bookmarks inside.

AHK is only on Windows btw

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I open those in chrome without any add-ons, I normally use Firefox with add-ons that can cause problems with some websites. I don't want to have to look for a bookmark folder, I just want to click thing on desktop. I can also modify the script later if I want to add an input box in order to search for specific jobs on all the sites at once.
