If a job ad shown in newspaper but can’t be found in hiring company, is it a bogus listing intended for H1B?
|
Recently (May – Aug, 2008), there are many job listings in Detroit’s Sunday newspapers that come from Hewlett Packard. The job requirements are mostly generic (such as gathering requirements, writing codes), instead of “5 years of J2EE programming” as other real ads do. If I use the job titles to search in HP’s website, there’s no such jobs at all. Of course, just based on these, one can’t say they are fake ads. But there are other evident that I can definitely tell the ads are fake. Do you agree these are bogus jobs to entice resumes for the purpose of facilitating H1B applicants?

There is a high possibility that it is a bogus jobs ad to support the H1B process. This is just part of the immigration process. |

NO................
most bogus employment adds are a means to make money for those who post them. there are all kinds of employment scams that charge fees for testing, training or guaranteed interviews. none of this has anything to do with H1Bs or immigration. |

Of course they are bogus ads. Everyone knows it. INS requires descriptions for H1B labor certifications to be generic, and be placed on multiple newspapers and magazines. Online ads are not qualified. That’s why jobs in Monster.com or Dice.com are more real. |

Jobs that have vague or generic descriptions are usually put on by "recruiting consultants" to get people looking to respond.
They then try to sell you a "job hunting package" where they find a job for you. When you ask about the jobs that made you contact them in the first place - they are usually already filled, or you are not qualified.
When I was laid off ( the first time ) several years ago, begin foolish and naive, I responded to such ads eagerly. Every one of those companies tried to sell me a $300-$4000 package that includes reviewing my resume, and teaching me how to write application letters. These are vultures who feed on the poor and desperate looking for jobs.

They are also for green card applicants.
In mu case, I am from Canada, when the company put out ads for my H-1B and later my green card which is still pending, they also advertised on their web site. The company must advertise in two or three different medias now. And if any suitable US applicants turned up, the plan was to hire them as well as we hav openings for several people. Specially since I was being offered the same wages, to the penny, that a US applicant at the same experience level would receive if hired.
