I am applying to jobs and getting absolutely nothing. I work for an extremely reputable company, have had friends in HR roles critique my resume, tried reaching out to my network, etc. is anyone else experience this? I want to blame the economy but it all feels so personal.

I’m in a similar situation. It hasn’t been that long since I started applying and I’m trying to stay positive and think of more things I can do. I imagine the time of year and the holidays might slow hiring down a bit. A previous manager of mine told me they’ll have more openings in January.

Most likely resume is just not being seen. Not all resumes have chance to get reviewed. Continue networking, tell everyone you know that you’re looking, and set up job alerts so you can apply within first 24 hrs when job is posted.

A major airline, I work in Safety and project management and applying to project manager roles! I don’t have a PMP, but do have lean six sigma experience.

Same for me. Started my job search in January!! Seems like everything is either an overwhelming role desperate to hire or I get passed over with a generated rejection email. I’ve even had very senior referrals and nothing. You’re not alone!

Reach out to recruiters via LI for that particular company and try to connect. Also, customize cover letter stating why you want to work there/what about the company attracts you to them. You can also go to companies in person to drop off resume and make connections that way. I have seen some success with these strategies.
