I've revised my CV often and have been on several job interviews but the responses I've always gotten are like this real example: "At this time, we've decided to move forward with other candidates. While your knowledge and recommendations are excellent, this in fact an entry level position and we prefer to hire people with your skillsets for mid-level positions. Unfortunately, however, we do not have anything that matches your experience at this time. We wish you the best in your job search."
- cpncrunch 12y agoAlthough you might want to work for a small, young company, that might be making it difficult to find a job. It tends to be the large, rich companies like google that hire people with Stanford (and similar) expensive educations. A small company might just not be able to afford you (or at least, they might think that). Working at a large company would also be good experience. You don't need to stay there forever - just a year or two, and then you could move on to something else. Also, if you can post your CV somewhere, we can maybe give you some honest feedback. There might be some obvious glaring problem that you just can't see yourself.
- junto 12y agoI agree with this. Having run a small web design company I received lots of applications of people like yourself. The honest reality is that you need to bring experience into companies of this size. They simply can't afford to have anybody on the books that aren't providing for themselves. Most of them are just about keeping their heads above water. @cpncrunch's advice is golden. Go work at a big company. Get some experience. Then you'll have something more to offer these small companies.
