Garbage. I'm looking for marketing/communications/social media work. Those industries aren't really hiring right now, and despite changing/improving my resume/cover letter three times now (with help from a hiring manager friend, and a career coach), I'm still not getting any kind of non-automated response. Been searching for 6 months now.
Strangely, I had one place basically self-flagellate at how bad they were at their response time (again, in an automated response), and never followed up again.
I feel like part of my problem is that I worked in an industry previously that inflated my titles. I'm applying to entry-level/associated positions with "Director" on my resume, mostly because I'm trying to upskill things I didn't get to learn, in an environment where I'm not managing the whole department.
It's disheartening to see LinkedIn say "Yeah, want to see how you stack up against the 100+ other applicants?"
