I’m so discouraged. I’ve been applying to 5-10/ jobs a week for 4 months now. Making new resumes for each position, cover letters, sending follow up emails and calls. I have over 10 years experience in communications, brand curation and marketing. I’ve recently upgraded my certifications and have a degree.
Finally got an interview for a low salary entry level position. Had two interviews and showcased my portfolio. I’m over qualified if anything.
They asked for references. I gave them letters of recommendations with phone numbers. They asked if they could reach out to the president of my old company. I said okay, gave them his personal number and let him know (they didn’t even call him yet).
Followed up a few days later and they said they’re still interviewing candidates.
It took me over 100 applications for one basic interview. How much competition is out there these days?
Just needed to vent.
