honor of being able to help numerous professionals land their dream job

offers and if this is something that you're interested in working with me

one-on-one I can give you details about that at the end of this video if you've

been looking for a job for a little while now you've probably already sent

dozens maybe even hundreds of job applications to employers and you're

feeling pretty frustrated because you haven't really been getting many

responses back well you're in luck because today I'm gonna walk you through

the four reasons why employers aren't calling you back and exactly what you

can do about it so that you can land the job offer of your dreams reason number

one you're not showing that you're a true fit for the job this is the biggest

reason why employers are ignoring you because you haven't done the work of

showcasing to them that you are the perfect job candidate if you don't do

the work of showing to them that you're a match for them how can you possibly

expect them to give you a call so to break it down there are actually three

key areas where you potentially may not be showing that you're a fit for the job

and the first one is your resume or CV is your resume lacking a clear strategy

when you look at your own resume do you feel that an employer who sees it would

go oh my goodness this person is the exact perfect fit for the job we have to

bring them in for an interview or do you think they see it and go yeah maybe not

sure let's see what else is out there if you feel that there is room for

improvement in your resume or CV then you are most likely right your resume is

the ticket that will get you into the door if you don't know how to write your

resume in an attractive and compelling way your resume will simply be thrown

too the side and the reason for that is

because employers get hundreds of resumes all the time so you really need

to make sure that your resume stands out from the rest if you need further help

in this area be sure to check out my resume mastery workshop the link is in

the description box down below or just check out my top-notch resume course and

it'll help you to rewrite your resume in an attractive and compelling way and

it'll help you to get the job offer that you're looking for the second place

where you might not be showing that you are an attractive high-quality candidate

to the employer is in your LinkedIn profile I know this may sound silly but

when was the last time that you actually updated your photo on LinkedIn to not

only be one that's recent but also one where it shows that you have a bright

energetic and cheerful personality many recruiters will tell you this but I will

that photo on your LinkedIn profile will either help to increase or decrease your

chances of getting that initial phone call check out my LinkedIn related video

if you are curious to learn more about how to improve your LinkedIn profile and

finally the third place where you're likely not showcasing your value enough

is in your interviews so over the last little while you might have gotten

called for a couple of interviews here and there but you never got a call back

to move forward to the next round I can tell you that there's one major

reason for that and that is that you're not telling compelling enough stories in

your interviews to the employers knowing how to tell compelling stories in your

interviews is the key strategy to hooking the employers interest in you

and getting them to choose you over anyone else who's interviewing if you

want them to give you the job be sure to tell compelling stories now let's move

on to the second reason why your job applications are being ignored and that

reason is that your job applications are not even being seen in the first place

if the only way that you're applying for jobs is through online job applications

along with hundreds of other people who are also applying through online job

applications there's a good chance that employer

aren't even looking or seeing your resume or application and if they can't

see you they're definitely not going to be able

to hire you so what do you do so a few tips about applying for jobs is firstly

you want to apply to only the freshest jobs so the jobs that have only showed

up within the first day within the second day those are great roles to

apply to if you're waiting to apply for a job and it's been posted for a week or

two weeks or three weeks there's a good chance that you've likely missed the

boat so you want to apply for the jobs right away strike them when they're hot

and the reason for this is because employers are likely to look at the

actual applications that show up within the first one or two days so you have a

higher chance of having your resume being seen by the employer at that point

another way to get your job application be seen is to reach out to the employer

directly if you want more tips in this area check out my how to network for an

interview video now on to the third major reason why your job applications

are being ignored you don't believe that you'll be able to get the job you really

want deep down somewhere inside you've lost confidence in yourself you don't

believe that you're able to get that really attractive job offer well here's

the truth the lack of belief that you have within yourself is actually what's

causing employers to also have that lack of belief in you so be extremely mindful

of the thoughts that you're telling yourself and how that's making you feel

because if you want employers to change their mind about you and to see you

differently you need to see yourself differently so it all starts with you

and ends with you you need to change the way you feel about yourself you need to

see the value that you can offer to organizations and then from there you'll

be able to express that in the interviews and that self belief is going

to increase the chances of you getting your dream job offer now the final major

reason why your job applications are being ignored you don't have any hint of

relevant technical skills or qualifications to do the job what I

really am saying here is that you need to have relevant skills experiences

and/or knowledge that can easily translate to the job that you're wanting

to get into it doesn't mean that you have to have done

the exact job before although that would obviously help but if you didn't but you

have transferable skills experiences and knowledge that's what's going to help

you increase your chances of also getting the job offer so if you know

that you do have transferable knowledge skills and experience then that's what

you need to highlight not only on your job applications but also in the

interviews because that's what's going to determine whether they'll hire you or

not so overall go after the positions that

you really want to do but make sure that they align with the skill sets that you

currently possess as well that's end this off I thought I would leave you

with an inspiring quote which says believe in yourself you are braver than

you think more talented than you know and capable

of more than you can imagine Roy T Bennett there you have it those

are my four reasons why your job applications are being ignored and what

you can do about it to turn it around now if this is you you've been looking
