Query:

“I am seeking feedback from job seekers on their likes and dislikes about mainstream job boards. I’ve heard some complaints, like entering keywords into a search box is a daunting task and people
are not sure if they entered the right terms to UNEARTH the perfect job for them. Also, people seem to be frustrated over irrelevant listings. Have job seekers noticed a decrease in job postings on the sites they found job postings 5-7 years ago? Any other insights?
