Are you tired of applying to jobs where you meet at least 80% of the qualifications, only to be passed over without so much as a chance? You're not alone. It can be frustrating to feel like your application is going into a black hole. Let's start a conversation about why this is happening and what we can do to change it. #jobsearch #opentowork #hiring #jobseekers #paralegals

In the process of looking for a job, I've come across this statement in some job postings: "If you’re excited about this role but you don't meet all the requirements or your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we strongly encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles!" I'm just wondering how best one can write the application to showcase yourself as the right candidate in a situation where there is a high likelihood that there will be candidates whose experience 'perfectly' matches the job requirements. Have you some good advice for me? Well, it maybe tough, but I keep applying anyway :) #opentowork #customersupport #customersuccess #clientrelations

So…I got laid off at the end of April 😥 For over a month, I've been applying to jobs and have submitted over 150 applications, still finding myself more stressed about financial stability rather than career development. Then, I realized most of the companies ignored my applications. I received no answers for roles I would’ve dreamed to be in, roles that were too junior for my years of experience and even roles that I could only bring a few of my skills and capabilities to. Recently, I stopped! No more quick applications for volume! Now I only apply when the position gives me chills by the description, mission and values of the company with the common goal that I can build a future with my employer. I'm still searching and hoping for good news, but I’ve already noticed a major difference in this new process for me. Recruiters contact me more often; curious about my career path and global experience. Conclusion: Find your true value for yourself and your employer by having a genuine interest in the position, not just because you want a paycheck. We spend too much time at work to not make it a genuine experience in our careers and lives. ✊🚀  #opentowork

Happy Friday, everyone! As the weekend approaches, I'm curious, what are your plans? Personally, I have a full schedule of activities planned, from learning new skills to applying to jobs. I believe that weekends are the perfect time to be productive and work towards achieving our goals. May your weekend be fruitful and full of accomplishments! #opentowork #hiring #recruitment #jobopening #customersupport #virtualassistant

Was just sent a denial email for a job opportunity after doing their 45 minute assessment. No feedback. Just thank you for applying but we are not moving forward with your application. The email is a no-reply email. How do I know where to improve? How do I know why I wasn't chosen to move forward? #hiringmanagers please provide a way for candidates to reach out for feedback! This helps tremendously on knowing where I can improve for future job opportunities! #opentowork #education #curriculumdevelopment #jobhunt

No one is going to offer you a job if you're just sitting around. I get it—being jobless or stuck in a role you dislike is tough. But if you don’t start applying, networking, and refining your skills, you won't get hired. Take action, put yourself out there, and show employers why you’re the one they need. Your next opportunity won’t come to you—you have to go after it! #OpenToWork #Networking #Hiring #SkillDevelopment  #TakeAction #JobSearch #CareerAdvice #GetHired

"Hiring is more than filling a position; it’s about building relationships and respecting the effort job seekers put into their applications. A simple acknowledgment, even if the fit isn't right, goes a long way in showing respect for their time and aspirations. Let’s not play with the emotions of those seeking new opportunities—let’s be transparent and empathetic in the hiring process." #Hiring #Recruiter #jobseekers #opentowork
