Applying for jobs and
not getting any interview invitation can be very frustrating, especially when put all
your efforts in it. One thing you should know is that you should never give up
on yourself. All you need do is to try and analyze the situation to know the
reason for the problem. Check the jobs you have applied for and know how capable
you are for them, then ask yourself the following questions;
·
Do I meet the minimum
level of experience required for the position?
·
Do I meet the minimum
level of education required for the job?
·
Do I have most of the
required skills for the job?
·
Do I have the
certifications required for the position?
At the end of this research, you will know how
much of the requirement you meet for each question and know if you meet the majority of
the requirements.
Hiring managers look for
candidates who meet at least 80 percent of the job
requirements. One reason you aren't making it to the interview might be
because they don't see you as qualified enough for the position.
If you find out that you
have an issue like this, then look for ways to gain the experience you need it
could be getting trained in schools or cerification bodies, so that you can be fit for the next
job. Then, before you apply for any more jobs, conduct this same exercise of analyzing
yourself against the requirements listed in the next job posting.
One other issue is the
fact that so many forget to put these skills in their CV. Without having this
appropriate information in, your CVs will not capture your recruiter’s
attention. Also, people have a tendency to apply for higher-level positions
than what they're qualified for, and this does not get you the job. So when
looking for a job, go for lower-level jobs first and from there apply for
higher ones.
