I’ve gone on multiple interviews to the point where I’m running out of places to apply. When I apply most of the time I don’t hear back or that they picked other candidates when they haven’t even given me an interview. But when I do get interviews , it’s mostly over the phone. Not to my surprise, I don’t get picked. Is it my interview part? I write down the questions and answers since I have an idea on what they’re gonna ask. Maybe it is my interview part. What should I improve?

I would recommend a more structured application approach. Pick 2 or 3 job titles and tailor your resume to those positions and keywords for each.

When interviewing, lead with enthusiasm and instead of summarizing your resume I would recommend discussing what you are doing now. Do research on their current goals and organizational direction and write out how your experience will apply to the company you are interviewing with.

Don’t focus on selling your past experiences but your future.

Example of questions and answers you give?

Take comfort in that you are not alone here, I have been dealing with a similar situation and I am sure many others have too. The job market is oversaturated with candidates and the competition is fierce! Companies are utilizing more structured interviewing tactics, recruiting has turned into a numbers game, and all you can do is keep at it and know that eventually you will find your fit and all things will align. Work on your STAR examples, develop your storytelling, and just remember that you have a single phone call to make that impression that you are the best candidate for the role you applied for.
