I have the same qualifications as the descriptions and even exactly what the job is looking for and don’t hear back. Some other jobs ask for interviews with 1 or 2 similar qualifications. It’s nuts.

I am a seasoned professional that has over a decade in my field with very solid experience to match. And yet, I am simply getting either no response or a decline altogether. During Covid, I interviewed for over 30 positions. Some were promising but others I declined. I’m hearing crickets right now. It’s wild.

Yeah, I will literally fit the exact description for a job, and then some, and not a fucking word. Insane. Like who the fuck are you looking for.
oakey66@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Not even the benefit of an interview is just weird. It doesn’t make sense.

I had one that I fit word for word but I have an AS and not a BS. My father in law works for the company for 22 years and puts in for it under his name as an endorsement. If I get hired he gets a bonus if I stay for a year. Nothing. Not even a phone interview. So dumb. And my degree is not a technical degree.

The schooling requirement for things like software development are getting out of hand too. I’ve been automatically rejected for junior positions because I lack a BS. I have 10+ years of experience doing exactly what they are looking for.

One job and had the exact required certifications I have - no response

Same. Not a single interview in the past 500 apps.
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
I’ve applied to hundreds, I’ve got a single interview. The only others calling me have been recruiters.
oakey66@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Same. And I’ve been getting calls and interview requests for lower positions which I refuse to move to. I’m lucky that I have a good paying position at the moment so I don’t have to leave.

Well I think that is the macro environment we’re in more than anything. But who knows.

I was called by 3 different jobs (of the 50+ I’ve applied to) that I need a cover letter otherwise my resume goes straight in the trash. Which is wild because I know nobody is handwriting letters. So off to generate a ChatGPT Cover Letter Bot I went.

Seriously? CVs are just dumb, I don’t understand why they are even still an option to submit, never mind being required. I would expect most to just ignore them since it’s literally just fluff.
Patches@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
They are an option because they are self perpetuating just like leet code.

Same reason colleges require stupid fucking essays. Just bullshit tradition and feeling like they’re important and have special Spidey senses in picking out good people.

I’ve been using gpt as well. Still no responses.

Same, it’s a stupid ge and I’m sick of playing it. Something will have to give eventually.
