I see all these postings but it still feels tough to actually get a call back. Maybe too many people applying for every spot?
Jordan M.I know how that feels, Jordan. I had to apply for a bunch of jobs before I even got an interview. It almost seems like you need to follow up or know someone inside to get noticed these days.
Thank you for sharing your experience, you're absolutely right that competition can be high for many positions, so staying persistent and applying quickly to new postings can help improve your chances.
