I've been with my current employer for 20+ years so I've been out of the job search game for a long time. It's time for a change and I'm struggling to find the best approach. I tried an AI resume screener that's supposed to help match resume to job posting, etc. So far I've applied to roughly 5 jobs. 3 rejections without an interview, a couple more that have not responded yet. I know it's early in the process but it's discouraging. Any advice?

Try being unemployed for over a year and applying to a few hundred jobs and getting maybe 5-6 different interviews. It’s extremely tough out there unless you are a rock star or big producer.

It is a nightmare out there and it truly is a numbers game. I am using a service like that as well. Keep applying and don't let the rejections get you down.

Also, I've noticed most companies have a "talent community" you can join and attach your resume. Anyone actually had success with those?

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?
