Hundreds or even thousands of applications enter the ring; only one will prevail
If you’ve ever been discouraged during a job search after weeks of sending out applications only to see zero responses, you’re not alone.
As noted by Robert Meier, President of Job Market Experts, in an article for Workopolis, “98% of job seekers are eliminated at the initial resume screening and only the ‘Top 2%’ of candidates make it to the interview.”
Those numbers are grim, but you can increase your personal success rate by making a few tweaks to your job search strategy.
