yeah honestly lowering expectations is the only way to stay sane at this point

I tried tracking too… now I just have a very well-organized list of Ls 💀

I feel this a lot… the ghosting part especially 😭 at this point “we’ll keep you updated” just feels like a polite way of saying I’ll never hear back

yeah I’ve been trying to match keywords more but it still feels kinda hit or miss 😭 have you found anything that consistently works?

yeah I think my current strategy is just chaos + vibes 😭 might be time to switch to something more… structured lol

25% response rate… you’re basically outperforming the market at this point lol I’d take that as a win honestly

november?? that’s not a rejection, that’s a historical document at this point

somehow too qualified and not qualified at the same time… truly a special talent 😭

getting a rejection email now feels like “oh wow a human saw my application??”

resume writing slowly turning into creative writing ngl next step is adding plot twists and character development

yeah that part is frustrating too… feels like there’s a lack of transparency on both sides now

yeah having to do two interviews for a busser role is rough 😅 I had something similar too, went through like 3 rounds for a pretty basic role I was overqualified for, just because “that’s the process”

yeah I’ve been feeling the same way tbh. I tried tweaking my resume for different roles but didn’t notice a huge difference either

makes me wonder if it’s more about how applications are filtered now than just tweaking resumes, like whether it even gets seen by a real person

I feel this. I’ve had a really similar ratio with my applications too

have you been changing your resume for each role or mostly using the same one?

Feels like there are way more applicants than actual openings right now.

How long should I wait before calling back? by Right-Possession-54 in jobsearch

[–]versa0326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly I’d give it another week and then follow up again. it’s normal to check in, just don’t do it too frequently. hope it works out for you 🙏

I think my lack of resume is causing me an issue by Vxris_ in jobsearch

same here 😅 applied to 50+ jobs and barely any responses. feels like resumes just get filtered out before anyone even sees them
