Is there really a job being advertised? Or is this what recruitment companies use to gather CVs?



Should I apply in "Expression of Interest" job ads?



Sample : http://www.seek.com.au/job/29616607?pos=7&type=standout&engineConfig=control&tier=no_tier&whereid=

          In this case, it means that they don't have reqs for jobs at the moment, but anticipate having some coming open soon.



          The key is here: "We have a number of upcoming requirements for Mid - Senior Web Developer in the October – November periods."




          Should I apply in "Expression of Interest" job ads?




          If you are interested, you can express your interest. If you aren't interested, you shouldn't.

          • Given the fact that now is already October, I find it a bit odd that they don't know whether they actually have requirements for the "October-November periods" (which is at most one month away).

          For more senior posts where the requirements are complex, it means "contact us if you might be interested, and we'll send you the information pack".
