  That’s my issue. I’ve been offered every job I’ve ever interviewed for, but getting the interview is the hard part.

  And in the end, the jobs I’ve had have come through that third “who you know” column that got me to the interview.

    I’d actually be a little concerned if this was the case.

    It could mean your application is so trash only really desperate employers are willing to interview and hire you which opens you up to working for shit employers.

      I haven’t actually had to make an application in years now. I’ve been approached directly for my last 2 jobs.

  that usually isnt known to to applicant, all you see is a job listing.
