Have you ever seen a job description that feels tailor-made for you?
Have you ever seen a job description that feels tailor-made for you?
You spend time customizing and tweaking your resume, showcasing your best self, only to receive an automated rejection email, you know, the
"Thank you, but NO thank you."
Those are the WORST.
Here’s the inside scoop from recruiters:
It’s not you. It’s your approach.
The truth is there’s a strong chance that a human didn’t even read your application.
Or if they did, the reader couldn’t make connections because they don’t fully understand the role and how it aligns with your experience.
(Secret: many reviewers have little tech experience and don’t fully grasp all existing roles, unless your last title matches the one you’re applying for, sometimes it’s hard to make a decision).
What does this mean for you?
Well, it’s really not just about the job that’s been posted...
My clients know that at any moment multiple opportunities can arise in their dream company.
And they focus on being visible to the final decision-makers (i.e., recruiters AND hiring managers) so they’re top of mind for everyone...
Before a job is posted.
Positions that align with their level of experience open up.
And when they see a job they like, they actually talk to a human instead of a computer, to position themselves for the role...
Even when they don’t meet 100% of the requirements.
Let’s be honest, if you meet 100% of the qualifications, you’re taking a lateral step or stepping back in your career.
This is a permission slip to pursue roles that allow you to stretch and grow, aim for 70%!
