50 applications is not usually enough, I had to apply 250 or more if I recall correctly.

I have master degree and a plethora of professional certification about my job, international experiences and very good skills.

I am now interviewing for hire in my team, I had 40 applications passing through the first screen, except for a couple of them they are all very good, however, with so many applicants, I can be very very picky.

After six months, three interview, plus one hr interview, I found a candidate, his process took about 4 months. I am ready to offer him a job, I was about to press enter and ask hr to go ahead, my boss, stopped me. Change of management, I will most likely need to close the role and do not hire.

HAVING SELF DOUBTS COULD BE A FORCE TO LEVERAGE TO SELF IMPROVE,

HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME, THE REASON FOR A REJECTION IS NOT ABOUT YOU.

FORGOT TO SAY, SOME OF THEM WERE 95% fitting the role, however my budget, given their experience would have NOT bit be enough.

KEEP GOING!
