I used to think these online jobs are fake/spam,
prove me wrong.
Definitely correct, and there is a quite small percentage of real opportunities advertised.
Its more like this.
1) The government related jobs are mostly fake, cus its to pump up the news papers jobs pages to falsely show that job market is breathing. And we all know government jobs are internally filled by nepotism. (DEFINITELY 100% FAKE JOB ADDS)
2) Adds appearing on news paper by the private sector, are redundantly over published. The target is not only getting candidates but also getting better market position as a thriving company. For-example when they need one employee to hire they advertise for 10 positions, this makes them seem bigger and thriving then their competitors.
3) Internet job sites are just proxy of the same above. In Pakistan no company spend like those in Saudia and Middle east to get a candidate.
