5 Things to Have in Mind After Spending 3 Months Sending Resumes Unsuccessfully

Don’t give up!

Your resume might need some improvement.

Yes. Maybe this is not what you wanted to hear but if you have applied to multiple jobs and none of them have answered you, then your resume probably needs some modifications. The internet is full of templates and guides for building a perfect resume. Remember that you are the only one who really knows how to create a resume that defines you and at the same time tells every reader why you are the perfect option for the job. Everyone will try to convince you of trying different things. I learned this the hard way after going to a rapid resume session. Take the advice that suits the most and go ahead with it.

The sad truth is that most of those jobs are already filled when they are posted.

Unfortunately for most people (myself included), networking is everything. Knowing someone inside of a company or having a good friend is sometimes more important than building a perfect resume or having impressive qualifications. Never underestimate the value of a call or a short email. Don’t be afraid of talking to recruiters or people with jobs that are similar to the one you are looking for. After 3 months of looking for a job, I learned that networking was really important! Take it into account!
