    If you are applying on Indeed, companies input the question “Where did you hear this job?” as you are applying right through the Indeed website.
    I can’t personally come up with an answer, other than apply through their website asking if they have a “position title” open, making it seems as if you did not realize the indeed posting.

      A friend was searching on Indeed and stumbled into the job, sent me the link and told me to apply. I wasn’t looking but it seemed interesting.

      +Kostya1759 Lies? Employers want what they want because they have defined it as a need. We all arrive with biases and opinions. Employers and job hunters alike. A job hunter’s job is to understand that and communicate with an employer so they make the best choice . . . which may not be you.
