I applied Executive Security Specialist ll.
I was turned down because I assume I didn’t meet all of the requirements. However, I met quite a few.
If an actual person, or the CEO could take a look at an application or applicant face to face, I would be hired. Why? Because I have what they are looking for. While I’m employed, they could put me through the training needed or, place me in a position where I would prosper and succeed, making the revenue I would like to make.

I totally get where you're coming from and I think a lot of us feel like this. Like if they would only put us in front of the top stakeholders then they would see that we're totally qualified. Or even just take a chance on us, they would see we're capable of doing it. Problem is, every job has 100+ applicants it seems these days and so it's just so damn hard to stand out
