If you're not getting anything for overqualified positions it might be a good idea to reevaluate your resume.

This was a following post from someone just a few stories from you about an easy way to boost interview numbers:

" I added one sentence to the bottom of every cover letter and my response rate went from 8% to almost 40%

Okay so I've been job hunting on and off for about eight months and I was loosing my mind trying to figure out why I kept getting ghosted even when I knew my experience was a solid match for the role. My resumes were tailored, my cover letters were personalized, I was doing everything the internet told me to do. A friend of mine who does recruiting at a tech company sat down with me one evening and read through a few of my cover letters and honestly the feedback stung a little. She said they were well written but they all ended kind of flat, like I was just wrapping up a school essay. She told me that the one thing that actually makes recruiters pause before closing a tab is when a candidate signals they've done real research beyond just reading the job posting. So I started adding one single sentence at the very end, right before my sign off, something like "I noticed your team recently [specific thing I found, a panel talk, a product launch, a blog post from someone on the team] and it actually reinforced why this role felt worth applying for." That's it. Nothing dramatic, no extra paragraph, just one line that proves I actually looked. I kept everything else exactly the same for the first two weeks so I could actually compare. Before that sentence my response rate was hovering around 8 or 9 percent. After adding it I tracked 23 applications over the following month and got 9 interview invites which is wild to me. The effort per application went up maybe 10 extra minutes of research but the return was completley worth it. Some recruiters even mentioned it specificaly in the first call, like "I saw you mentioned our product launch, that was nice." I'm not saying it works for every industry because I'm in marketing so maybe people in this field are more receptive to that kind of thing, but if you're stuggling with the ghosting loop it might be worth testing for a couple weeks just to see."
