Oh yeah this is right on the spot, and it's not just Indeed. Some car dealership near me is looking for a stock clerk. Another place is looking for a logistics expert. A third place is looking for a dental hygenist. The last listing in the email is for an arborist. The job I'm looking for: photographer.

It does find a few photographer jobs in my area (often looking for photographers for school pictures, which is not for me), but much more frequently, it sends emails with a subject line like, "We've found a great match for your chosen job!", and when I open it, it's hundreds of miles away and part time, and extremely low pay. That arborist job was in Maine, almost 700 miles away. It found a product photographer job for me, in Arizona, 2,300 miles away. Rough commute.
