I'm tired! I'm all burnt out! I have been unemployed for months now. I have applied to just about everything possible that comes my way. I have gotten endless calls from Recruiters stating they submitted my resume but yet I get not 1 single call back. If your reading this please give advice or tips or if you know any company's that's hiring please help me out. FYI, I have redone my resume multiple times. Thanks in advance for your help

Best is to just keep applying and figure out way to keep beffing up the resume. If you are anywhere near the recent storm that moved up the east coast, FEMA will be doing local hiring blitz. They are full-time temp (not to exceed a year and a half) positions, but great to get your foot in the door. FEMA also has Reservist positions that get sent to events when called up.
I was unemployed for about a year back in 2013 (took an internship with a county to stay busy and learn) before getting picked up by FEMA as a local hire, now I am a full-time supervisory 13 for a region.

My best guess is try to get ahold of the hiring managers for the jobs that you applied. Ask them if they have any feedback on the candidates that went forward and see where your skills may be lacking or not highlighted. Make sure that you tailor your resume to every job ad, which is one of the hardest things to do when your time is already stretched. Find time for yourself and find time to improve your skills and make yourself more marketable. Lastly, networking. It’s a big deal! Good luck!

At the end of the day, companies are posting jobs to keep their pipelines full, but they are not fully through budgets and are not getting approvals to make the hires (minus a few scenarios). So, they are wasting a lot of your time. Always check the website to ensure the job is actually posted there, too, before you apply.

Hello Fishes,

I have passed the TR and MR rounds at Cognizant. HR is saying they will schedule today but are not sending invites; this has been going on for a week; what does this mean?

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
