One of the biggest painstaking tasks when searching for a job for job seekers is having to submit multiple online applications. What was meant to be an easy process has become so daunting that candidates are burnt out on the redundancy. It’s an insane process.
Here’s how it goes:
- Step 1: Search job boards for a job you like.
- Step 2: Review the job description.
- Step 3: Hit Apply Now Button
- Step 4: Fill out application information.
- Step 5: Upload resume.
- Step 6: Hit Submit button.
That didn’t take too long did it? So, you move on to the next job description and repeat Steps 1 – Steps 6. And repeat again on the next job description. And again. And again. Get the picture?
Believe it or not but I know this process all too well. If you are able to connect with HR, a hiring manager or recruiter, That’s great. If you have not you will continue the process of Steps 1-6 hoping that someone will discover you and your talents. I’ve counselled hundreds of people when they would apply to one of my online ads and they were denied an opportunity to move forward. I understood their frustration of being overlooked as they continually repeated the process they had grown comfortable with completing. Many didn’t want to consider looking into other industries or jobs that would pay much less but help them take a different road to success.
It was an insane process to rely on.
Yet, I understood their insanity. I, too, was in that vicious cycle less than ten years ago when I began looking for a new occupation. I had grown tired of an industry I had grown up in and had much success. When I began my transition, I was open to many different of companies, positions, and industries. After months of rejection, because I was overly qualified, I felt hopeless and my confidence took a tremendous blow.
I know transition can be terrifying and the internal struggle many go through during this process. I created vCandidates.com for a user perspective and being mindful of the insanity and hoped to bring sanity and more control for job seekers to the overall process. That’s why the job search focus is less on the job seeker and more on the recruiting professional.
