Ive been applying to multiple jobs in the last couple of weeks and I’ve heard nothing from any of the companies I’ve applied too. Does anybody have any key pointers that can help me land a job?

Don’t take it personal, some companies may be short on HR or recruiters and that slows down the hiring process. I recommend reaching out to the companies you’ve applied with and let them know you’re hoping for an interview.

Thank you that’s great to know. I do have to give grace to myself because I know the job market is not in the best shape right now. It just sucks when I want to get out my job and start something new to grow in but there is barely any jobs right now.

This market is pretty cruel, isn't it? If you haven't already, reach out to any of your past coworkers and managers to see if they can put a referral in for you at their job.

Yea, right now it’s not the best time to apply but I was do when there is a great opportunity that I want to jump on. But I will have to be extra and call them back and follow up with them as much as possible if I really want the job.

Same here, it can feel really discouraging! One thing that helped me was tailoring my resume for each job and adding a quick, personalized note when applying. Even small tweaks seem to make a difference. Also, networking or reaching out directly sometimes gets more responses than just applying online.

Hi All,

I have 4 yrs of exp as full stack developer and my current CTC is 15 lpa and notice period is of 3 months. I got an offer from another firm for 24lpa but they have shared the offer letter of DOJ after 2 months and asked me to negotiate my notice period or look for buyout. What should I do in this case? Should I connect with my current hr to negotiate? Cause I tried convincing the new hr to share the offer letter of DOJ after 3 months but she is not in the favour of that.
