I know the market is ass rn, I’ve been looking for a job since I graduated in November of last year with no luck. Every application I get a response like “you are great, your skills are great, you meet every criteria but we found someone better”. I recently decided to start replying to emails to ask why I wasn’t picked (I reply only to emails that aren’t from no-reply or if the say I can ask for feedback). So far I have not even received one reply. Am I wasting my time??? I feel like it’s just from automated systems and they don’t even look at it. Is everything literally a ghost job?? If you have ever asked for feedback have you gotten anything useful from it?
Usually my responses are spam calls and spam emails constantly forever without any way to stop it besides changing phone numbers and email addresses
Remember all to not use your main phone number and email addresses for job searching.
What is a “not main phone number”?
something like a google voice virtual number, which you can essentially deactivate as soon as you secure a job.
