I applied to 130 jobs over the past two months and only received 6 replies. I'm really struggling to understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm not just mass applying; I'm actually taking the time to read each job description carefully, customizing my resume for each position, and writing cover letters that reference specific aspects of the companies. Despite all this effort, I've only managed to secure 2 interviews and received 0 job offers. The application process is incredibly time-consuming, leaving me with little energy to prepare for the interviews I do get. It feels like something is fundamentally broken in this system. I'm curious how others are managing to gain traction in their job searches right now. I’ve seen comments suggesting that I might be missing context or that my resume could be the issue, but I feel like I'm doing everything I can to present myself well. I’m considering using AI tools to help tailor my resume for specific roles, focusing on just a few positions that I qualify for. Maybe that will help me improve my chances.
