Every day there is news about the jobs or the jobless and everybody has an opinion about how to get a job (as I have an opinion also since I am one of the Jobless) but sometimes I feel like the people who are advising don’t know how hard it is to jump hoops to even get an interview. If you have happened to apply to thousands of jobs and not even get an interview, how would you know how to approach one? Even stating the obvious regarding the resume seems to be lost on some people as the HR guys report seeing hundreds of resumes which are a joke or which does not cut it and head straight to the garbage can.
Another thing is if somebody has not found a job, should he or she be not applying to every job there is. It is easy to say that you should not apply to every job even which you are not qualified for but tell that to the person who has to pay the bills. The questions on the interview are another story since it assumes that you should be able to impress the interviewer since you are competing with more applicants. Even with the best credentials and you being their top candidate, any last minute hitch like a hiring freeze or some internal situation can derail a candidate chances of getting hired and it does discourage that person for a while even if somebody says otherwise ( I have been in that situation before so I know how it feels).
