Do any of you actually ever got a job from a job posting, sending resume and getting called back? Or was it always a connection?

For me, my past few roles were all through some sort of connection. I didn’t apply on a job posting, but after the referral, was still asked to fill out a job listing out of formality

smart

I’ve had a crazy success rate from online apps, personal connections have all been well intentioned but almost none have panned out. Sure, maybe I wasn’t someone’s cup of tea or scopes changed but of those interviews facilitated by connections they were great and then just nothing.

Looking like it

Out of all my 5 employers I’ve got 1 from an application

It’s take time because those employing , are used to having an estimated amount before looking to an application to secure an interview

Recruiter unexpectedly DMs me on LinkedIn or via my email on my resume. Literally, every job posted. Receives a rejection or role is cancelled or on hold. I feel job postings get so many resumes it goes into a dark hole. No matter how many times you tailor your resume. Recruiters submit your profile & write up directly to the hiring manager. The chances are greater.

I get some of that but for jobs that don’t fit me or my desired path. So not sure why they keep saying to position yourself right in resume..
My gut is telling me that creatives hiring and everyone else hiring is different. This makes me hate being a creative even if I love being a creative.
