Have been applying religiously over the past 2 weeks but haven’t gotten any interviews yet - am I being paranoid? Also if anyone’s willing to chat and help review my resume/tips I’d appreciate it 🙂

Hey,
I’d keep applying but from my experience it has been taking longer than two weeks for companies to get back to candidates.

If you’ve been applying for a month and haven’t heard back from one out of hundreds of applications then you can say it might be your resume.

Two weeks is not a lot of time to be applying. Keep applying and be patient.

I have been applying since a few months. When i started i applied religiously for a month and never got any interview. Since then I lost hope and i just apply casually now. I know i need to gear up but it is frustrating.

2 weeks is not enough time. Given the market situation, it’s taking longer and more applications to get your first interview. It took me about 1.5 months before I heard back from any recruiter. As difficult as it is, hang in there. Best wishes.

I'm getting interviews for positions I applied for 2 months ago. People are just taking longer to respond but don't stop applying keep pushing as many applications as you can so that you evade the ghost postings that are rampant on job sites. You have no way of knowing which job is actually available so applying a lot helps you significantly

I do both, I've manged to get some interviews off random LinkedIn applications even without a referral. Sometimes I've applied with an employee referral and received an almost instant rejection. This market has been very weird I must say. Just keep pushing on, can't take any of the rejection personally.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

Benefits Question: how is the health insurance where you are? How does your employer handle it?

This has become one of the most important things when interviewing for me. My last employer went from having no insurance option to giving us one terrible plan that they contributed 50% towards. My current employer works with Gravie so we get so much per month and can use it towards any plan on the marketplace. Only thing that sucks is the contributions are post-tax so it counts as income.
