Fake job listings are increasingly used by companies to give the illusion they're thriving and to placate overworked staff. If you're applying for work, there are plenty of clues to look out for to avoid wasting your time.

I must have sent out 40 applications for every response, even an acknowledgement of receipt was rare.
