I Need a New Job
But I'm tired of putting in applications. Why can't they just hire me on the spot? 馃檪

It is always a catch 22 situation, you need experience to get a job and you need a job to get experience. Hiring managers today may get literally hundreds of resumes for any given job, if they have more than one job posted that could easily multiply to thousands. There is no way in hell there is enough time to read all they get. Most have subordinates go through and weed out those they know aren't qualified. They can't check all the references either, only those who make the final cut will have references checked.

@lasergraph True as well. That's another reason I hate putting in apps. Becase I feel like I'm wasting my time. Which I have been considering that I've only gotten one interview. At least I know I can write good cover letters. Hate I didn't get that job. They paid well, at least more than what I had hoped for as a recent grad with no experience in that exact area.

@iamnikki I understand. It is sad we have moved into a world where everyone is a number and there is no personal connection. Sometimes if you were given a chance at an interview your personality could help bring you over to them. But getting that personal contact is the hardest thing of all. I wish I had some good advice but I really don't. I remember how frustrating it was applying for most everything I thought I could do.
