There are numerous possibilities as to why you can’t find a job.The good news is there are also things you can do to fix them and improve your chances of getting hired.
Your resume has to be scannable both to the human eye and to the computer software.Check for errors such as typos, spelling mistakes, grammatical mistakes, or bad formatting.
Stop only applying for jobs that are posted online when there’s a whole hidden job market out there.Stop only applying for a job if you meet 100% of the qualifications
While you don’t need to be 100% qualified for every job you apply to, you do need to meet the minimum qualifications.Otherwise, this is just a waste of time and adds to that feeling of rejection.
The labor market is constantly changing. Your skills or experience may no longer be sufficient for the roles you’re interested in.Consider taking an online class or volunteering!
Employers aren’t going to chase you down.You need to follow up with job leads, potential networking connections, and with employers after applying and interviewing for a job.
Make sure you’re using the right people as references.If the problem is you don’t have any references to give, you need to find 3-4 people and ask them.
