To land 1 interview it took 60 job applications

Profile- 4 YOE, B.Tech from old IIT I started looking for new roles towards the end of June, and it took me approximately two months to get an offer letter. My skillset in a niche technical area helped me to get this offer. My advice to folks looking for a job, focus on your strengths and do not get discouraged. It's brutal out there, but you need only one job. Stay focused.

Hi all, I have applied on more than 2000 job applications across linkedin, cutshort,instahyre,indeed,etc. Unfortunately I have only received around 6 interviews so far and half of them were from early stage startups. Please let me know if I am going wrong somewhere or Is this normal? I have been feeling down lately because of this. Any sort of help in form of referrals is greatly appreciated.

Since the start of this month, I have been applying for different opportunities but haven't received a response from any of them. I am currently a backend developer with 3.5 years of experience at a Fortune 30 company and have been promoted for two consecutive years. I also don't want to use referrals right now because I'm completely unprepared. If you are in job hunt please share your experience.

I have 3 years of experience in frontend. I usually look for jobs by creating profile on Naukri and expecting calls from recruiters. Also, I apply directly on company portals. My question to the grapevine community is how should I find good companies? What I usually do is search up great places to work list or top tech companies on G2. I also apply based on LinkedIn jobs / posts about openings and from Instahyre and Wellfound. Sometimes I do ask for referrals. Is there any other ways to look up on good tech companies? What do other grapeviners do?

I'm getting zero to none interview calls from past few months, please roast my resume, any input would be highly valuable for me

Been job searching for half an year now. Got very few interviews, those also didn't convert, primarily bcoz of different domain. Don't now if next shortlist will come at all or when.Kinda losing hope, no income, running out of savings now. How to cope with the situation?

Hey people, I am trying to switch to a product marketing role (SAAS or any digital product). I would really appreciate some contructive feedback on my resume. My resume is of two pages, but I am sharing the first page and some. Couldn't fit the rest in the screenshots (ss). For context: I have around 5 years of marketi ng experience. I don't have prior product marketing experience but have handled similar responsibilities in a B2B service company (seen in the ss). After the ss ends there are 2 more jobs (both advertising agencies) and then higher education (masters in strategic management, pgd in marketing, bachelors in econ, stats, maths)

Recently, I interviewed a senior individual about their job hunting experience after 8 months, 50+ interviews, and interactions with 10+ companies. What they shared is quite eye-opening and worth sharing with my fellow Grapeviners to stay informed about the current market trends. There's a concerning trend of false interviews or what some might call "candidate fishing." Companies seem dissatisfied with many candidates they encounter initially, leading to rejections for trivial reasons or minor interview slip-ups. This indicates an oversupply of candidates in the market. Most companies have multiple candidates lined up for each job role, creating unnecessary backups. Consequently, last-minute job offer declines are not uncommon, even after successfully navigating through all interview rounds. The interview process itself can be lengthy, ranging from one to two months, with interviews scheduled during weekends, late nights, and early mornings becoming more common. Some common reasons for rejection include: 1. Diversity hiring concerns 2. Expectations of being a master of everything 3. Common interview formats with overwhelming ratios like 2:1, 3:1, or 4:1, putting candidates on the spot 4. Companies adopting a "Why should we not hire you?" mindset 5. Scrutiny over resume details, such as short job stints, despite ongoing industry layoffs 6. Negative assumptions about candidates from top tech companies (FAANG) looking for new roles 7. Rejections after multiple rounds (7-10 rounds) of interviews 8. Ghosting becoming a prevalent issue If you're experiencing these challenges, remember that you're not alone. Many others are facing similar issues. Hang in there; the tide will eventually turn.

I am a 2023 graduate and I have joined the company in 2022 as Software Development Intern. I have completed my internship and working as a full time. The environment of the company is very toxic and there is too much politics (even in getting user stories). I want to switch company so badly, but i don't know why I am not getting interview calls and revert back from any company. I daily apply for atleast 2-3 companies, I have good profile on leetcode, good projects. Can someone please guide me what should I do to make a switch.

Hello, Have been continually updating my resume and applying over the past year. Having difficulty even getting a short list or get an exploratory call. Is there any red flags that might be causing it? Would appreciate any feedback. Got an offer for 10lpa from an analytics company, on notice period at Infosys till mid March. Hoping for an offer within that timeframe. At any established product based company, target is 15-18 lpa. Have one interview in the works and also the client I’m working for through Infosys has verbally told me they are planning to offer 15lpa. Would also appreciate any advice 🙂 Thank you
