Submitting dozens of applications and never hearing back - or hearing back every 1 in 10 to get a form rejection - is awful. How do you stay motivated??

You might consider re-doing your resume', tailoring it for the specific job type you are applying for.

When I was in the market (December), I was told the average the market was seeing (for competitive jobs) was 100 applications before an interview. So anything that beats that is a signal the market is looking for your talent.

The best I can suggest is if you have documentation showing clean drivers records in the last 5 years and maybe proof of sobriety- I’m not sure how much of that you are legally required to ask (or provide) but I can’t think of anything else that could sway me to hire someone who clearly has a problem with alcohol or at very least their decision making ability while drinking!

Yes- motivation is needed BUT STRATEGY is MORE. Cross compare & check your current and previous job duties. Thinking outside the box is a must. Mostly you must allow an AI site reword your application. Your app is being chosen by the wording within the body of it. Always look for the jobs posted last 24hrs, be up between 4 & 5 am making sure you resume was recieved in the first batch to HR. Most companies insist there are 2 people to interview even tho they have decided whom they are going to hire. This tactic prevent a discrimination suite.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
