I’ve been in my current role for 3 years and I’m wanting to find a new job.
Ive just recruited for people doing the same role I currently do and we had approx 80 applicants in a very short amount of time and closed the role early.
Similarly a colleague reached the end of their FTC, and has done tens of interviews, including making final shortlists, but not been offered a role.
So I'm guessing the job market is crazy at the moment (why?!)
Ive updated my CV on linked in (and turned my profile on to looking) and total jobs and not had a single call or email (been a while since I job hunted obviously but I’ve never had that before)
I noticed some jobs on total jobs are 1 click applications and it gives an option to include a cover letter. Whilst I’m going for similar jobs, obviously they should be tweaked for each application and that takes time - do recruiters actually look at them? No issues with doing them if they’re helpful!
Any tips on how I can make myself stand out please?
