I apply to no less than 3 jobs per day, sometimes I get my rejection and don’t even remember applying. I quit tweaking my resume a while ago because … why? No one is calling anyways… what are my other job seekers doing out there? I’ve lost any hope and just do the applying because it makes me feel like I’m trying …

I have been doing the same. I have been applying for hundreds of jobs and not getting any intrerviews. Hang in there and keep applying. I really think it is a numbers game at this point.

Trust me, I know how frustrating it can be to constantly be getting rejections but taking it personal and choosing not to tweak your resume could harm your chances in the future. The job market stinks, but the only surefire way NOT to get a job is by giving up and losing hope. Fight the fight. Get out there and don't stop until something sticks.

Have you considered consulting with someone who builds resumes? Maybe do volunteer work to build experience? Don’t lose hope!

I used to think my resume was good enough — clear, well written, and full of experience. I had tweaked it several times, made updates here and there, and felt confident every time I sent it out. But nothing was happening. No calls. No interviews. Just silence.

Then someone, professional resume writer, said something that stuck with me: 'Sometimes, your resume may be polished... but it is not positioned.' That really hit me. She offered to take a look, and I figured, why not? When I got the feedback, it completely shifted how I saw my own resume. Turns out, it needed more than a tweak, it needed a whole new direction.

We rebuilt it, focusing on clarity, alignment with the roles I wanted, and making sure my strengths actually stood out. Not long after that, I got called for an interview. That one step changed everything. It reminded me that a good resume is not just about looking nice, it is about telling your story in a way that makes people pay attention.

To be honest, seeing the difference it made for me... if someone else ever needed that kind of help, I really would not mind pointing them in the same direction." and recommend her

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
