"I've applied for more than 100 jobs with no reply..."

Writer's picture: OliveraOlivera

Here is what messages I find in my inbox daily:


"Hey Olivera, I've applied for more than 100 jobs in the last few months with no reply, what should I do??? I'm going crazy…"


When I dig deeper, here is what I find:


🔴 They believed that serial applying for any job they find online is the way to go


🔴 They have an uncomplete general resume checked by their friends/family/gf/bf/their dog (btw, they said it's awesome)


🔴 They apply mostly through job boards


🔴 They have no clue how to build a network and connect with other professionals


Is this you?

Stop playing the numbers game because you're not going to win.


Save your time and nerves, and do this instead:


🟢 Find 3 job postings that you're at least an 80% fit for weekly


🟢 Research the roles and companies, find connections with your background


🟢 Prepare your job search tools (resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, bio, portfolio…)


🟢 Reach out and get advice from a professional


🟢 Connect with people who work at those companies, and others who are in the field you're interested in


🟢 Press that apply button once you're absolutely sure that your application is the best it can be


Job search is a strategy game, forget the numbers! Except when you are negotiating your salary 🙂


Work smarter, not harder. 🍀

Alessandro Lasi, Director, Business Process Reengineering at Johnson & Johnson, Switzerland

When you hire Olivera to brush up your Personal Branding you will get significantly more than any new resume!

In finding a new role within your company or at a new company what you really need is an image and a brand that others believe in. This is marketing 101 and Olivera will bring that to you.

Not only did she redo my resume that opened a lot of doors for me, she re-branded my LinkedIn profile and how I reached out to others; she also supported me all the way through my job transition to a new company, and was precious to set up my professional blog.

I highly recommend her services, you won't be disappointed.

Ofelia Ruiz, Regional Executive at Ricoma, USA

I'm very happy to give my recommendation for Olivera. She is a great professional and an excellent source of information with her insightful postings. She not only delivers a very high quality product, but her response and availability, makes her an outstanding service, together with her friendly personality. I will not hesitate to recommend her to all my fellow colleagues.

Marco Fuentes, Director Aerospace at Howmet, Mexico

Olivera is a remarkable Woman of great character and I would not hesitate to recommend her. In particular, Olivera has genuine talent and passion for adding value, leadership, training and giving support to executives.

Thashen Pillay, Turnaround Manager
at Neste, Netherlands

I recently had the pleasure of working with Olivera to improve my CV and LinkedIn profile after an unexpected occurrence in my career. I thought I had a decent CV already, but Olivera took it to a higher, more polished level. It was an absolute pleasure working with her!

 

Olivera's quick turnaround time on emails and document reviews is outstanding and her professional tips and expert guidance are extremely insightful and helpful - these were the things I valued the most. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. I would definitely recommend Olivera to anyone looking to take the next step in their careers by building and improving their online personal brand.

Cristopher Slauter, Senior Engineer at Amazon, USA

I recently had the pleasure to work with Olivera to revamp my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. After having worked with other coaches and resume writers previously without great success, I wasn't sure what to expect and was admittedly cautiously optimistic at best.

I could not have been more pleased with Olivera's approach, style, and great attention to detail ensuring I was on board with every change regardless of it's importance. She demonstrated a tenacity in her drive to produce results quickly knowing that the longer it took, the longer I wasn't applying with my best possible brand.

I am absolutely satisfied with the results of working with Olivera. On previous attempts at similar services, it always felt like I had overpaid for services that were underwhelming, and that I was simply a fee. With Olivera, not only were her rates surprisingly reasonable for the results delivered, I felt like I was working with a partner that was genuinely invested in my success..
