It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?

Honestly, if I see someone has manager level experience and I’m hiring for entry level, I won’t interview because they probably want more than I’m budgeted for. It won’t result in a hire so why waste everyone’s time?

I went through the same thing. I think it’s about quantity of applications you put in. We don’t know what goes into the hiring decisions, and if a company is good, they likely have an internal candidate that is being considered or in line. Then there are postings that stay up just because they want a pool of resumes to reach out to when they need someone. Just keep applying. Apply everywhere. Take all interviews. You’ll find the job you’re looking for, maybe not even something you were expecting. I laughed out loud and found it so refreshingly honest when a company sent an email back, and the subject line was “rejection letter”. Felt like it was about darned time.

Ha! Honestly, I'd rather have that kind of honesty that some long-winded, pleasant explanation about why you wasted your time applying

Hello friend, I went through the same thing, I was 1 year without being able to get anything in the supply chain, and a job coach advised me to hire a LinkedIn resume and profile optimization service, and voila, in less than a month I had 3 interviews. Have you tried using this kind of service? Don't give up, I wish you luck.

Not the original commenter but the service they were referring to is LinkedIn and resume writing. Agencies and freelancers both offer this service. Here's some examples from Upwork: https://www.upwork.com/ab/profiles/search/?q=resume%20&user_pref=2

McKinsey referral system glitch?

I got a referral from an EM over a month ago. He says my candidate status showed "turned down" immediately following the submission. He suspects it was because the status from my previous application to McKinsey over 2 years ago got pulled into the system automatically. Till now I still haven't received the application link and no recruiter has been assigned. Kind of lost about what to do next.
