- Anyone who has ever been out of work, or has looked for another job can tell you.. Being out of work sucks, but being out of work and having to use Indeed to find a job is like being punished for being out of work. In this video we will take a look at a nifty tool designed to make job searching much faster, easier, and less annoying.

Understanding the code:
Website to search - - site_name=["indeed", "linkedin", "zip_recruiter", "glassdoor", "google"],
The term to search Indeed, linkedin, zip and glassdoor - - search_term="software engineer",
The Term to search good careers - - NOTE: you want to define location in this search too otherwise it will show you a ton of stuff from everywhere in the world.. - - google_search_term="software engineer jobs near San Francisco, CA since yesterday",
Used for the Job Search sites (not google) - - location="San Francisco, CA",
How many results do you want at a time - (CPU Based request) results_wanted=20,
Oldest post in hours - - hours_old=72,
What country do you want to search? -- country_indeed='USA',

My gripe with Indeed is probably very old, but as a former recruiter what infuriated me about Indeed is they would scrape my job ads and advertise them "for free" and couldn't understand why I would be annoyed by this.
The reason I was annoyed? The job would already be filled and people were still applying because they see the ad.
The other reason this was bad? I live and work in Australia, and advertising a job that is not current is illegal -- as a recruiter, the company I worked for could have been fined.
Also (sorry for a third comment) regarding "remote in California": Different states have different labor laws & different wages. A company that has to hire over state lines may have to pay additional money for insurance packages, higher wages, have different hours or benefits, etc. Basically more accountants & more lawyers. That's not very advantageous to most employers, which is why (usually) only the big companies do it. They usually eat those costs by having centers & in-person employees in multiple states anyway.
You would think they would figure out a better way to add that as a search function so to not confuse the heck out of everyone.. but hey.. the search doesn't work as it is.. that's probably asking too much.. lol.. ;)
