Why Am I Not Getting Interviews?

One reason could be that your competition's resume is better,
but there is far to much FREE resume help
to let this stand in your way of a job.

You could be the most qualified candidate in the world, but if your resume does not effectively market your qualifications, achievements, and abilities you will not get an interview and never get the job. 

We have written extensively on networking to obtain information on unpublished jobs and to get your credentials in front of the right people (more on networking).  It is equally as important to have a quality resume that will have hiring managers asking you for interviews.

Your resume is your first impression, and as they say, first impressions are everything.  Many people do not truly understand the power of a quality resume.  Many people have simply taken a general template from one of the 1000's of online sites that offer them, stuck their information in it, and then emailed it to general mailboxes posted alongside a job opening.

This will not work, or will take so long to work a person would probably give up before it does.  In today's economy there has been a huge influx of applications to every job posting.  Hiring managers and recruiters can only view a certain number of resumes and if yours is not one of them because it does not catch their attention you will not get an interview.  To get your credentials in front of hiring managers you have to network (more on networking), but after you have connected with them you need a perfectly formatted resume. 

It is imperative to be able to send a resume that reflects a professionals talents, abilities, and accomplishments as effectively as possible to provide every chance of acquiring an offer for employment.  The job market is so tight that the last thing a person wants is to not obtain employment because they did not effectively communicate the aforementioned qualities.

For this reason it is imperative your resume be in the top 5% to 10% of marketability, structure, and form.  The problem is that there are few people who are expert resume writers and it is not very palatable to be spending money to get a job.  There are, however, many free and low cost services that will provide assistance in improving your resume. 

Remember, to give yourself the best chance possible of acquiring an employment offer, you have got to first get yourself noticed by the right person and show them you are right for the job.

Additional Advice

I always remind people that a job search campaign, to be successful, has got to focus on accomplishing multiple objectives.  One of the most important is having a great resume. 

You must also be able to get that resume in front of and noticed by the hiring manager, be able to locate the opportunities that are a fit for you, and you must do this efficiently. 

Use Google Alerts To Find A Job Faster

By utilizing Google Alerts you can now be notified about jobs as soon as they are posted instead of searching on hundreds of different websites all hours of the day.

The faster you know about an opportunity and start working towards contacting the operations or hiring manager through the utilization of your network, the better chance you have of getting an interview and getting the job. 

By utilizing the networking and direct contact methods we have discussed in previous postings in conjunction with Google Alerts you will be implementing yet another strategy to get a competitive advantage in your job search.

---

Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results based on your choice of specified search criteria.  This is the perfect resource to generate the up to the minute job leads you are looking for to organize and focus your networking and direct contact operations in an effort to secure the opportunity you have been looking for.

Let’s say for example I am looking for a position in the electrical engineering field.  I would go to http://www.google.com/alerts and enter a search criteria similar to this ("engineer" AND "electrical" AND "louisville" AND "job").  You will then be able too select what type of sites you would like to search, how often you would like an email update, and what email address you would like
it delivered too.

---

This resource will allow you to be notified of all posted jobs, you will be notified of them immediately, you won’t have to search hundreds of sites looking for them, and much more. 

Remember, the job you are looking for is out there.  The deciding factor in your success of obtaining the job is how you look for it.  The better and smarter you execute your job search the less time it will take and the happier you will be.

How To Stay Positive In Your Job Search and Make The Most Out Of Your Unemployment.

---

When you find yourself faced with unemployment it is a difficult thing to deal with.  The uncertainty and concern for your financial future is enough by itself to put you in the state of mind that will make it impossible to do anything to make your situation better.

Many unemployed people limit themselves to just filling out countless applications online until they find a job.  This can become tedious and frustrating in a matter of days.  When a person becomes frustrated it becomes harder and harder to find a job for many reasons including the fact that potential employers can sense this frustration and despair.

Below you will find 5 actions you can take that will help you find a job faster and help your mental state of mind while finding this job.

---

---

Start participating in non-profit or volunteer organizations and, if you can not find a paying position, do some volunteer work.

This will help many aspects of your job search.  You will not have large gaps of work experience on your resume.  Your efforts will keep you moving and the work will keep your skills, like communication, sharp.  You will feel a sense of reward from helping others and, while I don’t endorse feeling better about your situation because of others hardships, it is impossible to not realize that your situation could be much worse.

Many of the professionals I have worked with start doing volunteer work for the reasons stated above and this work leads to a full time position. 

---

---

If you are not already, get involved in trade organizations within your industry of expertise.  There are many opportunities you can discover with your involvement.  This is also a key aspect to the networking approach of finding a job.

As we have discussed in past article networking is the singularly fastest way to landing a new job.  Within these trade organizations you will find people that could have an opportunity for you, but if they don’t they could know someone who will.

Trade organizations themselves also have many jobs they need filled.  Consider looking to work for one of them.  If all else fails you can always state on your resume that you are a member of these organizations.  It is a great way to build your resume and credentials for use with potential employers.

Executive Search Online is a free resource with 2,000 links to trade organizations. 

ESO goes a step further by labeling which trade organizations have current job openings.

Join online unemployment support groups

I know this may sound strange to some people, but it is not like you are going to be crying in the arms of your computer. 

These groups help people by letting them share their experiences with others.  They allow them to bounce ideas off other professionals regarding what has worked, what has not, new employment strategies, quality resources used to find a job, networking opportunities that can help you find a job, and much more.

---

---

Think about starting your own business.  This does not have to be an all or nothing venture.  While you are looking for a new job think about a small business that you could start yourself and start working on it.  Make a plan for splitting your time.  For every 2 hours you work on your job search, take an 1 hour to work on your business.

This will benefit you by giving you a release from the daily job search grind.  Starting a business can be anything from reselling merchandise on Ebay to using your engineering background and instead of designing widgets for your old employer, design them for your customers.

Keep Learning – This does not mean “Go Back To College”, although for some it can be a good idea. 

What I mean is learn a new skill you can put on your resume, or take an online class that will earn you a certification that you can put on your resume.  These are just 2 ideas, but there are many things you can be doing to increase your marketability to prospective employers while keeping yourself sharp and motivated at the same time through a continuation of your education.

If this does not sound appealing think about educating others.  Many local high schools and grade schools need substitute teachers.  To qualify in most districts all you need is around 40 college credit hours.  You can use your education to teach others while keeping yourself sharp, giving back to the community, and bringing in a little extra money.

Stay Positive

As a country many of us find ourselves in a position that we never thought we would or never wanted to be in again, but here we are. 

As hard as it is to not let it get you down, you must.  If you do not potential employers will sense it on you and it will make it that much harder to get a job.  It is a vicious cycle because the more frustrated you get in your job search, the harder it makes to get a job, which makes you even more frustrated.

However, as we have discussed there are many things you can be doing to combat this pitfall.  Just keep your head up, keep moving forward, take it one day at a time, and do as much as you can each day to reach your goal of finding the opportunity you are looking for.
