Hello there beautiful humans! I hope that everyone is having a great day and start to their week!!! Question/Guidance Job searching is so tough right and I know that so many others are feeling the stress, the frustration, and sometimes just want to cry all day long. In all seriousness, I am looking for some guidance as I have tried every avenue under the sun.. I need help deciphering the following from recruiters/auto-emails -- There are more competitive candidates for this role -- it was entry level for Contact Tracing and something that I would really love to learn, but does this mean they assume based on my resume that I want too much money? I hope not. -- There are other applicants who are better suited for the role -- My previous role is an exact match to this one -- not sure how to decipher this, or these simply auto-emails sent out without information beyond that. -- Sorry we will not be moving forward with your application. -- I know that this is pretty obvious, but what exactly does this mean? Not even a phone screen? Or reason as to why? -- We do not believe you are right fit for the role that you are applying to....-- again obvious, but can we have a reason why? The endless networking!!! I pretty much work my LI close to 4-6 hours day, if not more introductions, reaching out, etc etc, but this is getting me nowhere. Advice? I have only had 2 interviews in 7 months. I have had my resume reviewed, edited for feedback by recruiters, career coaches, those who specialize in resume writing etc I do adjust my resume to the JD I applying to, but to no avail nothing in return. I am curious, is this just a sign of the times? I am pretty optimistic, but some days are harder than others. Recruiters, if you are reading this what is your opinion? Honest opinion. I am not one to shy away from feedback. Plus, I have a ton of empathy for those working behind the scenes with the endless applicant screenings. I can only imagine how busy they are, not to mention how they are shifting to a remote format. Perhaps the overload with applications is causing these auto-responses? Recruiters/HR overwhelmed so they only look at a handful of applicants? Yes, the times are crazy right now! LOL, but what are we fellow job seekers to do in this climate? Again, I empathize with recruiters right now and my heart goes out to them, but a tiny bit more insight would be awesome. Sadly, we cannot respond due to the auto-email. Thank you in advance for all those that read and respond!! Much love to you and I hope that are you staying healthy and safe! Have beautiful week everyone!
