When You Don’t Get the Interview
You have sent your résumé to an excess number of recruiters and companies, and some weeks have passed and still there is still no response from any office. In such situations people feel really pissed. But you should not forget that Job searching requires patience and perseverance. If you did not get the call for an interview, you may ask why. Here are some possible explanations:
At times, the manager of a company or organization already has a candidate in mind. In such cases, jobs are only posted as a formality to follow the policy requirement. Many times the postings are formed by HR assistants, who are not familiar with the job. Therefore the posting may not reflect the requirements of the actual manager.
In some cases, you may be up against hundreds of candidates. If the manager only wants to interview 5 candidates, human resources staff has to stop the screening process at some point. Your résumé may not have been read. Also there are instances when the Company decides not to fill the position due to financial changes.
Sometimes there are candidates with experience in a particular area that catches the employer’s attention. Your résumé may not be meeting today’s standards. Seek the advice of a certified professional résumé writer. There may be some modifications that can increase your success.
Now here are some ways to improve your success rate:
· employ a service to allocate your résumé to thousands of recruiters.
· Post your résumé on the major job websites.
· develop into more active in your professional associations. If you are not a member of an association, join one.
· Read industry websites and news websites daily, looking for opportunities.
· Uncover leads in the hidden job market by networking. Let all of your trusted business associates, peers, and family members know you are searching. Do mail them your current résumé.
· Contact at least three new companies each day.
