I want to invite you to carefully select the companies you are applying to. If you convince them, congratulations, you get the interview.
They will be looking for the right accomplishments and results you can bring to the organization. Their goal is to take a little bit more time to read your resume. The last level you need to pass to get the interview is the Hiring Manager. They will only take a few seconds to read this, around 15% of resumes will be rejected at this stage. They are the ones who will look for basic qualifications: The Recruiter is the one double-checking if the ATS did a good job. If somehow you pass the ATS, the second level to pass is the "Recruiter". So for the ones who stuff their resumes with keywords without mindfulness, the ATS can now sense it and reject your resume.Īpproximately 80% of resumes will be rejected at this level only. If you're unfamiliar with this, it's an algorithm that scans your resume for keywords to assess if you match the job you're applying for. Showing to everyone you're job-less will make you less desirable in the eyes of companies. LinkedIn is a networking platform more than a job search platform. "Put yourself in "Open to Work" mode on LinkedIn to attract job opportunities.".Personally, I have never landed a job where I submitted a Cover Letter. Opinions are mitigated here, 50% of companies say they don't care, and the other 50% say they read them. "Focus on your cover letter, it will land you the job".Sure dude, BUT HOW? Every time I try, people don't answer my messages, ask me to apply online, or ghost me. If you keyword-stuff your resume unnaturally, your resume will be automatically rejected (speaking from experience) "You need to copy-paste keywords from the job posting in your resume!"Īpplicant Tracking Systems, the robot that analyzes your resume, are getting better at spotting this.If you try chasing both, you can forget about them. Think about it, if you want to catch two rabbits, start with one at a time. The truth is, you simply need a few companies on your radar and focus all of your energy on them. It's a numbers game only if you want "any" job and not a career you're satisfied with. From experience, when your goal is to "apply as much as you can" you significantly lower the quality of your applications, allowing other people to stand out more than you. "It's a numbers game, apply to as many jobs as you can!"ĭon't do that.
Specifically, I tried dozens of job search advice I read online.īut none of them worked, and I am sure you've tried some of them yourself: When I understood internally how much I wanted to become a Consultant, and knowing how much of a competitive job it was, I got to work, quickly.
