This is Why you are Not Getting a Response
September 24, 2022
Last Friday, my candidate posed me a question:
"Why am I not getting any responses
for the roles that I have submitted my resume for?"
I figured that these could be the reasons why.
1. You are overly qualified for the role
2. Your resume was not tailored to fit job description
3. You may just be 1 out of 100 applicants applying for the job
Not all hope is lost - here are some tips!
1. Keep a lookout for job requirements of the role. (e.g. Number of years of experience)
2. Refer to job descriptions of your dream job. Add in keywords from that JD to your current resume.
3. Don't let your resume be one of those that drowns! Headhunters are here to help - with direct contact to hiring managers, we are able to put your resume back on top of the list.
