this is not your father’s job market
Getting hundreds of calls from applicants whose Resumes do not even show the correct qualifications can paralyze an HR department. And in a global economy, as companies are working to remain competitive, many of the functions of HR and recruiting departments are replaced with talent-management software. For this reason, companies now mask their information and no longer welcome incoming calls from job seekers.
In addition, because most applicants have not had to look for employment for years, even decades, they are puzzled by the lack of response to the same resume they had no difficulty drawing attention to previously. Of course, the last time they had to look, strategies they followed worked. Following the same strategies, today’s applicants find themselves lost.
