Dear Recruiters, I’ve applied to many roles, improved my CV, built my skills, and prepared seriously for interviews. Still, most of the time there’s no response. I’m not asking for shortcuts — just feedback. Rejection with a reason helps candidates learn and improve. Some candidates struggle to express themselves verbally in interviews, even though they are capable and hardworking. Many prove their value once they start working. True potential is shown through performance, not just words. Please give deserving candidates a fair chance.
Improve and optimize your profile, start with your first and last name.
Hey Ghianne 👋 as a fellow job seeker and as someone who has her fair share of heartbreaking auto-rejections lately, let me tell you this, I feel you and your feelings are valid. And yet the cold harsh truth is, no recruiters would give a damn about your sentiments right now (they are busy screening hundreds of CVs). So instead of being disappointed on what you cannot control, you could focus on other things you could do better. You’re already on this platform where every day is a chance to make yourself more visible. Why not start connecting with peers in the same industry as yours? You could even go as far as messaging recruiters on companies you’re interested to work for. Try to see your profile on a recruiter’s standpoint and see which areas/ sections you still need to work on. Hope this helps 🙏
Honestly, I think this varies on what kind of work you’re looking for. But I would highly recommend Facebook. Back to back job applications through LinkedIn,Indeed,etc. No communication whatsoever. I posted my own job ad in a Brisbane Jobs Facebook group, giving a brief overview of myself and my experience. I am now employed in less than a month since. You may encounter a few dodgy offers, BUT! it’s not hard to miss at all!! I couldn’t agree more to this !!
Entry level positions will always make you question if you are made for the corporate world. If you are uncomfortable with a process, take a deep breath and ask questions. You were invited to take that interview! If you are uncomfortable with the people you're speaking with, ask for the general manager. These people were instructed to acquire talent. Your talent. If they made you feel unhappy, they are not doing their job. Learning the industry before an interview helps but do not take drugs. You are in the right direction. You are speaking to the wrong people. (You will hear voices in your head and it will be irritating but it is usually because it is in your dialect. You know, it's their problem, not yours. Then you will hear your own voice and it will suck.)
Aptitude exam is part of the recruitment process. There are roles to which the decision process is based on aptitude and not with how good you communicate. Wait patiently for that role. Your time will come.
My situation now... Had an interview recently and explained how I usually use excel to enter data, interviewer asked which software excel was and in the heat of things I didn't remember to give I only insisted on just excel... I was told that I will be contacted.. Till today... I realised few hours later I've not been myself... Am still job hunting...
Yeahh I would honestly start with ur first and last name. Those simple detail can have big impact.
I couldn't agree more🙌 I also have applied so many time not that I'm being impatient but a rejection with a feedback can help us to not repeat the very mistake over and over, I also changed my CVs so many times to comply with the job requirements but nothing😔
Same here but lets make those rejections as a motivation to move and push forward 🙏

1moA few observations I have are: 1. Get rid of the green "Open to Work" banner. I'm told recruiters pass you over when they see it. Also, use LinkedIn settings to only show your open to work status to recruiters. 2. Take "Beginner" out of your headline. 3. Delete the post about struggling to learn English.
