I've been applying for over 1.8 years. I've faced over 7000 rejections. I've never received calls from recruiters for the roles I've applied to. I really need a job, urgently need a job pls. It really feels like I'm begging. No one helps on LinkedIn, Fishbowl.
And I've been applying for jobs through various platforms like instahyre, simplyhired, cutshort, wellfound, indeed, naukri, Glassdoor. But I'm not getting any calls. I've only received a few calls from naukri. And from that too only a few were genuinely scheduled for an interview. And why do recruiters ghost and treat candidates like they are expendable.
Victoria's Secret, Upland, Nielsen, and Morgan Stanley cancelled the role. I cleared all the rounds with them and I was told that HR will reach out with an offer and was asked for a joining date as well. But after months of follow-up they cancelled the role. And then ghosted and no response.
Also, I've always received the same automated email, we have moved forward with another candidate. But the role remains open.. companies like Virtusa, Nasdaq, S&P 500, Flipkart, Amex, Wells Fargo, Victoria's Secret, Paychex, Myntra, Meesho, and many more have been doing the same thing, I believe these are ghost positions.
Initially I was applying to roles that aligned with my experience and skills. But now I'm applying to every role, even roles like customer support, driver, sales boy, etc. I am in urgent need of a job. And yes, I do customise the resume based on JD. And why is it that companies like Airtel, Amex, Paypal, Wells Fargo, Phonepe, etc ask for mandatory experience in banking, payments, or insurance but they shamelessly hire folks with non IT and MBA background jusy because they are from IIT. Why this double standard?
