Ever wonder why you apply online for job after job and never get a call? Nothing is more discouraging than getting no response after spending hours submitting resumes and online applications. Sometimes it seems IMPOSSIBLE to even get an interview! Are you wondering what the answer is to getting ahead of the hundreds of other applicants in the system? Do you want to know how to make sure you stand out, even in a competitive job market?
These are questions that most, if not all, job seekers have asked at one time or another.
The reality of the matter is that there are multiple reasons you find yourself in this scenario.
First of all, the vast majority of people who complete online applications do not submit them correctly. Not following the directions precisely or uploading your resume incorrectly can easily get your application pushed to the bottom of the list where no one will ever see it.
Secondly, many times when you find a job opening to apply for, the recruiting process is so far along that the company will hire another applicant without ever looking through your information. Even though the job is still technically open; in practical terms it is not available.
A third reason you may not be getting called for any given position is that you have not shown that you have the qualifications they are looking for. This is extremely common. You may have every single bit of experience and knowledge the company desires, but if you have not used the proper key words in your resume or application, they do not know that you have what they’re looking for!
