Why Can’t I Get a Job?

Scofield Idehen - Oct 8 - - Dev Community

I know the turmoil, trauma, and feeling of worthlessness you get when you open that mail, and all you see is we are sorry to inform you that we will not be moving forward with your application.

That feeling is heart-wrenching, mainly when you put in so much work on your CV and during the interviews.

I have been there, stayed there, and chose to leave there, and you, too, can.

Come with me.

These days, more jobs require that you be recommended as recruiters do not even want to scan through the thousands of watery applications, according to a recruiter on LinkedIn.

Other times, you are kicked out by AI-powered machines that expect specific keywords and would knock you off even if you have the required skills but lack the keywords necessary to scale through.

Jobs are not scarce, but recruiters are getting lazy. Can you prove me wrong?

I wrote, “I quit searching for a job,” where I explored some of my reasons and many other people as well.

The world is getting connected, and the rise of AI is creating a shift in job creation, so many evolving opportunities but getting in takes a lot of research and communication skills.

According to my mentor, the new job application portal is a social media platform; becoming a voice is the quickest way to get recruited.

Alexander Nguyen wrote on Medium about how he started his 100 days of writing on Linkedin, and recruiters sent him JD(Job Description) for top companies.

Putting yourself out there and sharing what you are currently working on motivates others and makes you a person of interest.

Have you ever wondered why some prominent founders are still on social media sharing their ideas and interacting with people?

Your CV is not the first point of call in any interview; your personalities are.
