Any advice on what has truly helped you land interviews? I need to step up my approach, and this waiting game has me going a little berserk. I'm doing everything and above, that I know used land an interview.. let alone a job. I even made my first ever video resume, but no turn around at all. Not gonna lie, it's making me question my accomplishments and feel unworthy of progress. Eager to hear what's been working out for everyone on the bowl!

This.

What area of expertise/industry?
Are you applying independently or via any referrals and or recruiters?

Other things you can do
- connect with former clients and colleagues not for a job just to catch up and build relationships
- join a professional org relevant to your specialty, be active in that org. They always need help writing cpe courses or industry articles
- any passion project you have some time for
- talk about your goals with your connections, when I was switching careers I had like little projects for myself I was working on for the field I was switching to

Good luck!

I think referrals are the only way to go tbh. It's the whole, if you want to go fast go alone, but if you want to go far, go together things. Trust me, get the help you need from people who are literally paid to help you.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.
