This is something I could not explain to my dad ever. That not just employers sometimes advertise on multiple sites, but also that sites are actually interconnected in some cases and are carbon copies of eachother! When job hunting, I'm job hunting on the largest portal around and, surprise surprise, all those other portals have job opportunities that are copy paste adverts of the same companies, sometimes with some specs added or retracted, but the same ads all the same... But dad was all, "And what about this site?", or "Look, they're advertizing over on that site!" and I'm like... "yes, they are. They have my CV for a week now... Found their advert on the site I use."... Or the lady at the labour office, "But you're only responding on one site! Try all those others!", to which I pulled out printed email, where one employer asked me, to stop responding on all the sites, because they received my CV eight times in one week... And of course, didn't hire me then. Two sets of two years of job hunting. Then, my tenure at my former employer ended, I wrote off another, cause the job was absolutely not for me (I'm not cold calling). I went dry for a month, then, a recruitment agency called, pushed me through to my current employer and a month after that, I'm starting my probationary period.
It almost feels, like you're trying to get a mortgage out of a bank. Not for you as a person, but for you through an intermediary? "How low do you need your interest rates, sir?"
