This is such a creative way to use Pintrest! I absolutely love how Sweta is thinking outside of the box here. But, don't forget about facebook and twitter. Put in your status that you just filled out an online job application, or are looking for great companies that might need what every you do. You will be surprised at the number of people that may have a good suggestion, or may just realize that you could be a good fit at their firm.

]]> Comment on 5 Reasons You Aren’t Getting Any Job Interviews by Corey Harlock http://careerbright.com/career-self-help/5-reasons-you-arent-getting-any-job-interviews/comment-page-1#comment-4870 Corey Harlock Fri, 18 May 2012 17:51:22 +0000 http://careerbright.com/?p=3402#comment-4870 All good points and some are often overlooked. I totally agree with a follow up call to your application - it is essential to give a hiring manager something to "hold on to" in regard to your application. A follow up call can also kill your chances of getting the interview if done incorrectly. If you remember it is NOT a sales call but a follow up or fact finding call you will improve your chances of getting an interview rather than improving your chances of getting eliminated.

I would like to add one more though, one of the not so obvious hurdles to getting hired is in the technology that powers the Applicant Tracking Systems(ATS). When you apply online, your application puts you in the company databases in some sort of applicant tracking system. When HR representatives or hiring managers want to look at applicants they query the tracking system and it returns the applications that match some criteria. Usually that criteria is created with a filter for certain words or phrases in your application or resume. If you don't have just the right keywords or phrases, then the ATS won't return your resume. How professional your resume looks, and all of your experience won't even matter if the application doesn't come out of the databases to get a set of human eyes to look at it.
