Here’s a question Francina addressed:

Q: In my job search history, I have often used the internet as a means to look for a job. With the exception of USAJobs (govt. job website), it almost seems as if the purpose of those online job postings is to exclude as many people as possible rather than actually hire someone.

TCE Answer:  Absolutely, watch video for details!
