It might be how your resume is set up. I generally never tailor my resume for any specific job posting. But once I knew I wanted a new job I was applying anytime I was near a computer. Some days I was applying to 10+ jobs, other days it was less than that. It only took a week before I had an interview lined up.
I never asked you personally but you decided to chime in. Which is fine. You had your turn. You provided what you wanted to provide. The forum is open to everyone and if someone can give me better advice, I would like to hear it.
you're the one looking for work not me, do what you want.
thank you, I appreciate the additional advice. This Cashmere dude just wants to troll now by constantly respond to me even after I accepted his comment.
I heard you for the fourth time, breh. I accepted what you said. Why do you keep going on and on? Where did I say I can't apply to jobs? I wanted advice outside of that.
Your resume might not be up to the task, even if you have the experience. One thing a lot of people fail to understand is that many resumes get ran through HR software before anyone sees it. If your resume isn't set up to be parsed correctly by the software, you're starting on the back foot. Once I reworked my resume for more efficient parsing I started to get more responses. At the same time, you might not be presenting your experience in a quantifiable way. If your bullet points are just the job description then you're letting yourself down. Under your experience you need to explain what you did and the impact you had.
Thank you. Ok one person is saying that I dont need to fine-tune my resume for each listing and you are saying I should. I've done both ways. I'm confused but I'll take from what you have given me.
You need a base resume to work with. Once you have a solid one, then you fine tune from that and save it as a separate copy. If your base is solid enough then you don't need to find tune for every application. I have maybe 15 iterations of my resume, and I try to update it every month if I'm adding new skills. But more often than not I'm sending out my base resume. The takeaway from my posts is to make sure your resume reflects what you're capable of and what you can offer.
I've had over 5 people look at my resume and one of them was a career counselor and I have a new base resume every month. I'll just try to see if there is something lacking and try again.
I had a career counselor look over mine too and he said it was fine - but it wasn't. I took it to one of my professors with industry experience and got a little bit of help, but it still didn't make much difference. Then I sat down and rewrote it from scratch (no templates or anything) and that's when things changed. You should branch out from Indeed. Mine is up on Glassdoor and Dice and it continues to draw interest.
thanks and breh, I already tooken his advice and I never said I cant apply. Ive applied to over 140 apps. I just wanted to see if anything else needs to be worked on. thankyou
