Are you mass blasting a pajeet tier resume or are you tailoring your cover letter / resume to the job in question?
Also, lie. Fuck it, if you can't find a job normally, fucking lie, get the experience and bootstrap that way.

Lie about your history retard. Give yourself (recent)work experience. Its the only way to get in.

My favorite is the boomer resume advice.

> it's too long
> it's too short
> title too big
> title too small
> just put years not exact dates
> put exact dates

Gosh it's almost like nepotism is worse than ever and you need excuses not to hire unknowns

This has to be a larp. not even one interview offer?

sure, i didnt get responses from every resume i sent out, but i got 2 offers from the only 2 interviews ive ever done. it cant be that hard.

[Anonymous No.12461676]

Same but with women.

[Anonymous No.12461752]

I'm in the same boat as OP

Only probably 3-4 interviews or call backs

1 interview they picked someone more senior than me, which is to be expected since it was a big contract

2 were part time bullshit jobs and the cunts interviewing me were uppity retail managerial types

1 other interview was over the phone with a Pajeet

Oh another interview was as a grounds keeper, they didn't hire me because I had never used their specific type of lawn mower before

Shit's fucked

That's why when I get my business degree, I'm going to apply at a minimum wage job and work right away. Who cares if I'm over-qualified. I just won't list the degree.

>he had to take jobs well below his qualifications
It's only acceptable until you get your degree. After that you perma-disqualify yourself by doing this.

I wish the Jews designed a better system than this for finding jobs. It's pretty demoralizing. Im sure jobs hunt you down if you're well known in your field or if you know somebody who can get you a great job. Those are basically the Chads of the workforce.

Someone on /biz/ if you run a company give me a job I'll do anything. I will suck your dick.

I've had 6 phone interviews out of 983 applications. I worked my ass off preparing for these interviews. I researched the company, did online courses, and even tried doing some of the job to prove I could do it. I even hired a professional interviewer to practise with. All this effort for fucking nothing.

Post your resume and tell us what field you're looking to get into. Something tells me you either have really shitty qualifications or you're in a really shitty job market. Regardless, it sucks to suck

[Anonymous No.12462221]

The fuck is wrong with you, I have people literally stealing my phone number from databases to call me and I don't even remember posting a resume anywhere.

[Anonymous No.12462245]

>>12462058

What kind of jobs are you applying for and what are your general qualifications/experiences? I'd put "willingness to keep trying in the face of adversity" on there. I don't know if I could deal with THAT much rejection.

Do you have any weird appearance problems? Neck tattoo? NIGGER KILLER tattood on your cheeks?

Calling you is one thing

Getting the job is another

See my post: >>12461752

I get calls all the time but it always falls through when the recruiter sends my resume over and I don't have the "experience" they're looking for.

[Anonymous No.12462537]

>>12462391

Well there's your problem. Recruiters are extremely expensive. You want to apply directly to jobs at the company you want to work at. Recruiters are effectively middlemen who you pay by accepting a lower wage while the employer accepts paying a higher cost to the recruiter. You're effectively working for the recruiter and he's reselling your labor. That's my experience with the recruiter business anyway.

What actual skills do you have though? What industry are you trying to get into? You could always try an apprenticeship for a low wage, just to get experience. It sucks, but it fills out your resume a little and allows you to get into another job more easily. Right out of college I fell ill and I had a gap of 5 years where I was basically mostly recovering. Then I spent 1.5 years working for almost nothing, as nobody sane would hire me. Now I have people calling me.

I'm aware I sound like a boomer right now, but if you're a bad situation, ANY movement towards your goals is better than none and having to deal with constant frustration.

There's plenty of free or cheap online stuff you can look at too, like udemy or even youtube has a LOT of stuff that will teach you entire new languages if you want to. That'll help you in your job interviews. Also certificates and diplomas. Because HR jobs are usually run by not too bright women who don't believe in IQ-tests.
