That is the problem! Do not send hundreds of resumes. Instead identify what you will like to work on. Do some research to find out what companies work in that area. What they look for in a candidate(go through their career section on the website). Try to build skills in that area. Then start applying. It is not a fire-and-forget type of process. You need to prepare for a job, a job that you will like to do.
- Raed667 6y agoYes, but be careful you can get burnt after a few rejections. Having a long prep period before applying, then getting ignored or automatically rejected can have even a bigger impact on your moral. At least with the shotgun approach to sending CVs you're more distant and not as invested.
- busterarm 6y agoIf someone is low on experience, mass resume sending is exactly what works. If someone has a few jobs under their belt though and is stalling out, I would suggest finding a recruiter.
