I recently started looking for jobs again and I often like to see if the websites I visit have any open positions but I get annoying having to find the link to the career pages. So I made an extremely simple browser extension to make the process faster. That's all.
I was applying for a job at one site... you had to watch several minutes of videos, and answer a questions about the videos before you could submit your application. It was like they put their high level "welcome to the company" videos in front of people applying. Brutal.
Wow that's the polar opposite of the experience I had. The last 2 jobs I had I applied via those pages and I always felt like it was a more direct way to get in touch with the team rather than going through a recruiter.
You shouldn't wait for a job listing to appear. If it's somewhere you would like to work approach them straight away and get to the front of the queue.

Not sure if this is more me or the extension.
