I am an HR professional with 4 years of experience in various HR functions. I am based in Toronto. I’ve applied to more than 400 jobs in the past year. I have been getting interviews but have had no luck. I’ve tailored my resume, reached out to recruiters, and used various job portals. For every interview, I prepare thoroughly, align my experiences with the role, research the company, use the STAR method, and follow up with a thank-you email.  I am struggling and would appreciate some guidance.
