Due to not getting responses I even took a swing at some positions I felt a bit under qualified for thinking if I am not getting called maybe they are looking at me as more than I see myself. That didn't work either. I am at a lost for why they are posting jobs but aren't calling despite me having great experience.
Do you have any coworkers or ex-coworkers you're close with that are higher positions than yourself that can give input about extra things you coukd put into your cover letter or resume that you don't think of as necessary or relevant but may actually be quite an important thing for employers to notice.
I've just gotten a job that I'm completely not qualified for in terms of direct experience, but all the tangential experience got their attention.
I've not heard of a shortage at all, in Aus at least, many jobs at my lab and labs of my ex-coworkers frequently get positions with hundreds of applicants including those that are applying for positions lower than they've already been in their exact same current field or those with Master's and PhD's applying for tech or assistant positions when their degree automatically qualifies them for Scientist positions.
OP I am right there with you. I have been looking for a new job for over 6 months and have applied to hundreds of jobs and yet I am not getting any calls or interviews. I have been trying to network and get referrals to see if that an help me any.
