Chief
Cruise around LinkedIn and look for other people who currently have the role or used to. Look at their experience and portfolio prior to getting the role and compare it to yours. Are there gaps?
The other way to get a leg up is by finding someone who can be an internal referral for you, maybe even before a job posts publicly.
A third way to give yourself the edge is to apply the first day the job posts. Once the post has been up a while, your app might just be too far down the stack for them to give it much consideration.
Thank you for the advice! I will start pursuing those options
Was it just a canned response?
Then it did. When I was a recruiter, I only had a few disposition reasons to choose from and I had to use that one A LOT because the other canned reasons didn’t fit. 😂 Don’t take it personally!
I’ve also recently applied for a job with WDI that closely aligned with my experience and received a “not qualified” email, which definitely got me low for a second. Trying not to take it personally, but agree it is painful!
