After you sent in your resume did you do any follow up? Did you call and or try to go in and meet the individual responsible for hiring you? If not always do this in the future. I have always gotten the job that way. After you send in your resume. Call and ask who is responsible for hiring for the position you are applying for. Then if they tell you who it is (sometimes they won't) then ask to speak to them if you get their voice mail leave a short clear message that you were doing a follow up call on the postion. Leave your name and number again along with that you have either sent or dropped off your resume. Let them know that you are very interested in the position and leave it at that. This has never failed for me. Now that I'm on the other side and I'm the one doing the hiring I can tell you that I rarely look at those who don't follow up. Good Luck

The key AFTER sending a resume is to make verbal contact with the company. Identify who is responsible for reviewing the resumes and/or selecting the candidates who are qualified to interview for the position. Continue (once daily) to make contact with the responsible person...just sending resume is not enough these days, you have to follow up, follow up & follow up. Good Luck, the right job is out there for you.Its a tough time of year to apply & be hired for a new job! Happy Holidays!

Isn't that always the way? A lot of times (and I don't agree with this) the applicant has an "in" in the company, either through a contact who already works there, or through an internship. It really is about who you know most of the time. Also, many companies use a computer scanner which scans all incoming resumes and throws out the ones that lack certain key words the company is looking for.

a lot of human beings deliver out thousands of resume's previously they discover some thing. So in case you've despatched "a number of", do not get discouraged. really discover some thing else previously quitting. And if some thing, being presently employed is probably a plus to ability employers - this is not a adverse. Are you utilizing to organizations who're promotion positions that you think you're qualified for? once you're only sending resume's out to organizations you'll opt for to artwork for, no matter if or not they're promotion positions, reaction is probably to be rather low.

Welcome to the wonderful world of corporate America. There's tons of reasons you might not have been selected. I've heard some hiring managers will just throw out resumes, for example, with one spelling mistake.
There's tons of books on how to tweak a resume as well as companies that will do the same.
