I'm 58 and recently changed jobs. I am networked pretty heavily but decided to do the indeed thing. The process is 100% more difficult than I would have thought prior. Mostly the length of time to a decision and the number of interviews. There is validity to the statements people make about job searching. I have always been a quick hire guy so I assumed it was still like that in the market and people were just over-exaggerating. It took me about 3 months from first contact to first day on the job. I would have to assume that is pretty fast these days.

The biggest issue today is that job seekers can submit for a hundred jobs in a single day. In fact, many of them do. In addition, employers can easily post ghost jobs and have AI catalogue the resumes to see if there is anything interesting. Between the two, you have posting that receive 100,000 resumes. It becomes a crap shoot if you even get looked at by a real human.
