Why am I not receiving more interviews from my CV?



Why am I not receiving more interviews from my CV?

Failure to secure interviews can mean you are targeting the wrong jobs or your marketing material (CV, Cover Letter & LI profile) is not making an impact. There is also the added dimension in this market place in that there is more competition for fewer jobs.

If you are targeting jobs where you lack the qualifications or experience you really are going to struggle. I am not saying it is impossible but it will certainly be hard work. This situation requires a more creative approach.

If you have not invested time and effort into your marketing material you will also struggle to land interviews. Remember for more impact you need to have targeted contact with quantifiable data and achievements.

There are fewer jobs and greater competition. If you are targeting advertised jobs then you are going to hit traffic. Perhaps you should change direction onto the back roads (hidden job market) as most jobseekers won’t go there.

Final point – I think that many jobseekers put too much emphasis on the CV (a requirement for the traditional route to job hunting). It is possible to secure an interview and a job without a CV.
