I used a recruiter and she was a JOKE,

I'm sorry to hear that. I know the job hunting process right now is awful! Part of it is probably because companies are now utilizing AI in their recruitment process. I'm not 100% certain how to break through that because it is new. I've heard of people putting keywords in their resumes or having them professionally revamped to break through the AI algorithm. But that's all I know to do right now. Until we can figure this new trick out, it's going to be hard. Hang in there.

Have you tried to meet people at the company you are interested in? Have you sent follow up notes after you applied to the Hiring Manager or recruiter?

It’s frustrating as I’m experiencing the same thing. I gather a lot of companies are trying to be leaner and cut costs to improve profit. Simply applying seem to yield little to no results. Right now you basically need a connection with someone with influence where you apply.

It sucks but keep applying and networking. Hopefully something break for you.

Oh my goodness I can identify. Searching is not good. You apply and then it becomes a waiting game. I am still trying because I am hoping for a miracle.

Same thing happening to me, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I send resume after resume. I've tried customizing cover letters with AI. I've tried all the tips that everybody keeps giving me, had my resume rewritten three times. Nothing is working. And I try the networking, reaching out cold to people pretty much results in nobody responding. It's disheartening.

Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?
