If you’re wondering why some candidates get responses to their applications and have interviews, and land positions without even sending many applications, while others send dozens or hundreds of applications, and get no responses or interviews, and have been on the market for months, we will explain why…

Candidates who receive responses are obviously qualified and experienced, but above all understand that it is not necessary to send a lot of applications to find work and that it is enough to send quality applications.

Here is how these candidates get responses to their applications and go through interviews and land jobs :

☆ They set achievable goals and have realistic expectations. They know exactly what they want and only apply for jobs that match exactly their requirements.

☆ They know their strengths and refine their searches based on their strengths to increase their chances of success, even if that means sending a very small number of applications.

☆ They have the right attitude : they remain professional, positive and optimistic in all circumstances and they have great communication skills.

☆ They demonstrate emotional intelligence : they accept criticism, take responsibility for their own mistakes, solve their problems on their own, and accept being told no.

☆ They know the industry inside out, and understand how the recruitment side works. They know that the timing of a perfect match is difficult to predict and they don’t expect it to be easy.

So many candidates do exactly everything they should not do to get responses to their applications. Very often if they never hear back from their applications, it is simply their fault…

If you want more responses to your applications, you should not send more applications, you have to apply better which is very different.
