I wanted to share an interview request I just got. Something I’ve learned from my own job searches and from talking with a few recruiters directly. There’s this idea out there that you need the perfect resume, packed with keywords and optimized for the ATS but I actually think that’s BS and the real problems timing. Recruiters usually only look at resumes for about 7 seconds, and they review them in the order they’re received. Once they’ve found 10 to 15 decent candidates, they stop sourcing and collect applications just in case they don’t find a candidate, so if your applicant 106 , you’ll probably get ghosted.
I started getting interviews by applying directly on company career pages and only when jobs get posted within the last 72 hours. I use sites like jobs.aplika.pro to help me find listings that go straight to company career pages.
I’d apply in the morning and sometimes get an interview request that same evening especially on Mondays for some reason lol.
If you haven’t been getting interviews, I’d seriously try this. It worked way better for me than anything I ever did to “optimize” my resume.
