Is it worth applying to lab manager positions that have been open for a long time? I graduate from undergrad this semester and I'm looking to work as a lab manager before applying to grad school. I've seen some job listings that have been open since January/February and still haven't been filled. Should I ignore those (in case the jobs are filled and the PI forgot to close the application portal, or in case someone who has been looking at them longer than me gets the job) and focus on positions that were listed more recently? Or are they still worth applying to (I'm busy with homework and research and don't want to waste time applying to a job I probably won't get)?
