I'm a Sales Manager in a Tech Company. Id love to move but there's nothing but fake job posts out there. I have a great CV (I paid for it) and it deserves to get to interview stage. At that point id hold my hands up and say I messed up if I didn't get it. I'm immediately getting the "you've not been successful' emails from the Internal recruitement no reply team. Within 24hrs. Not possible that I'm being rejected by so many companies so quickly. What's going on out there?

The simple answer is that the job market is lousy. People have referred to what's going on as a white collar recession, and that seems about right. The economic numbers are generally positive, but in some sectors people are just fearful of hiring. I'm hoping things will pick up in the new year, but with all the chaos that's being promised, who knows if that will happen.

OP this is a really challenging job market to be looking for a job in. I have several friends who have been looking for over six months and are in the same boat as you. I definitely think that sometimes having a referral can help you get your foot in the door.

Yes, this happens to me all the time. I do think these rejections are computer based. I applied for a job last Sunday at 9 pm and got a rejection email before 8 am on that Monday. It was very obvious that no one even saw my resume. It’s sad, that so many jobs are posted, but it’s not really possible to even get an interview unless you have a connection or know someone. And yes, I was 100% qualified for the job. It was the same exact job as I’m doing now.
