Candidate,
I hope all is well with your job search. Before you hit "submit" on sending me the email with your resume I wanted to make you aware of a few facts.
1.) The average job posting I get has over 350 views and 50 applicants. Please consider that before sending me the same resume you sent to 100 other postings. I know its frustrating not to get feedback. I assure you it is equally frustrating to dig through 50 people that do not match my position. If you have experience with "Inner-Moon Icy Astrophysics" please include that on your resume. I do not always have time to call back 50 people, plus do the rest of my job.
2.) It can be tempting to think that applying to every job I have posted, and every job my partner has posted can be a good idea. Don't do it! We get emails for every posted applicant. If I get three resumes from John Smith, I know you aren't really reading job postings.
3.) Please make your resume shine! If you have a good resume, make sure it has bullet points. If you have a narrative about your life, save it for an interview. Dates are appreciated, anything that makes you stand out for the right reasons!
All of this is a general few tips to get a little bit of extra notice. I believe that everyone out there has a job for them (which is why I do what I do), just help me do my job better.
My favorite to this date: A blacksmith applied for a job with me once. It required a PHD in Mechanical Engineering, and 10+ years of Power Electronics experience.
Please stand out for the "RIGHT REASONS" in my inbox in order to get me to open up your resume.
Hope to see you soon!
