I'm looking into getting into a different field. I have applied to many jobs in the past several months. Some jobs will give me the dreaded email "oh your resume was impressive but will have chosen a candidate more align to our needs." I had several that wanted to schedule a phone interview, when I schedule one they never call. I'm tryna figure out am I doing something wrong. I try to schedule interviews where I take them after my workday.

It seems like everyone is saying the job market is just terrible now, so that could be a big part of what's happening. Beyond that, maybe just work on your resume. If you're trying to pivot into different fields, maybe edit your resume to align, within reason, with where you'd like to go.

I don't know that you're doing anything wrong, it's just hard to find a job right now. Trying to pivot into a different field can only make that even harder. Which field are you trying to transition into? I've wanted to get out of retail for a while myself, but I honestly don't know what else I'd do since this is all I've ever done.

I've been told that you should tailor your resume to every job you apply to. That's a lot of work, especially when just applying to interesting jobs when happily employed. But I have changed things around when looking to apply to something in a completely different industry. Try writing up your experience in a way that pertains to the new job.

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
