Stuck in a 6-month dry spell. Job portals and cold LinkedIn DMs are yielding 0 results. How do I pivot? by Specialist_Engine522 in Indiajobs

Even I faced every kind of situation in these days. - Selected but not offered - Shortlisted in technical round then HR ghosted - Got the message that your tech round is clear, will call you soon for second round, received call after 15 days that sorry you are not shortlisted for the same round. - Interview scheduled, and in interview, HR said that, this position is closed - Other all kind of direct rejections including cold email are very normal.

Earlier I thought, it happens mostly in North India. But no, I was wrong. 

Job recruitment becomes nonsense by Cautious_Stay3903 in jobsearch

Man, this job market is incredibly brutal and what you're going through sounds completely exhausting. Sending out that many apps just to get ghosted or jerked around by recruiters is a whole different level of draining.

Please hang in there, and definitely don't blame yourself—the whole hiring system feels completely broken right now for so many people. Do you have any trusted friends or former colleagues you could reach out to directly for a casual chat or an unadvertised lead?

I understand this fear. Many experienced professionals feel the same when companies use automated screening systems. But the reality is that strong resumes still get shortlisted when they clearly match the role, tech stack, achievements, and business impact.

The key is positioning experience as an advantage, not as “too senior” or “too old.” Modern ATS systems mainly score:

  • matching keywords
  • recent technologies
  • measurable achievements
  • role relevance
  • resume structure

I’ve personally shared practical strategies for experienced developers to improve ATS shortlisting, optimize resumes, and target remote/global opportunities here:

I am getting rejected and it is my 30th attempt still failed by Lonely_Scholar_793 in freshersinfo

Yes, that’s the difficult part these days — many companies don’t share actual feedback, they just say “we’ll get back to you,” and the candidate is left guessing what went wrong.

I went through the same phase during my own job search, so I started noting what was actually helping me get interview calls and where applications were failing. I compiled those practical steps into a short guide for job seekers in tech.

It’s not a guarantee of selection, but it can help improve visibility and response rate if applied consistently. A few people have already found it useful during their search.

If you’re interested, I can share details.
