I am looking for new jobs as a Cloud Engineer. Being privacy conscious makes the job hunt relatively hard. I don’t use LinkedIn. But most companies publish their openings on websites like this and almost all of them are a privacy nightmare.
As soon as you make an account on them, you are bombarded with thousands of emails and targeted ads. But if I made a temporary email for this purpose, I feel I might get blacklisted.
Honestly I feel kind of sad about today’s corporate field.
The only way to maintain privacy and job hunt is through a strong social network, and I’m not talking Facebook. When you have enough contacts/friends in a sector, you can ask around.
This. Write an email that says “Happy belated New Year…” and says you’re looking for a job and what kind of job, and send it to everyone you know in your field.
