I have good abilities, why don't I get any feedback when I submit my resume? When is the best time to submit your resume?

When you need to find a job, you must submit your resume. There are two common ways to submit resumes. One is to submit it to a specific position or industry, and the other is to cast a wide net, which we commonly call "overseas application". Everyone has submitted resumes to oversea applications, but why do we always get no feedback? Let's take a look at the reasons.

Why is there no response to my resume application?

1. HR may not have seen your resume

Not all full-time or part-time human resources staff in a company will log on to the recruitment website every day to check and receive your resume.

2. The recruiting company actually has no shortage of people

In fact, the recruitment has ended in the recruiting unit, but no unit will take the initiative to remove the recruitment information. They will promote it as much as possible. Another situation is some cooperation with recruitment websites. Although there is no shortage of people, recruitment is definitely necessary!

3. You’re not “qualified” enough

You have enough ability, but some companies only value academic qualifications. If you don’t have enough academic qualifications, even if you can bring 10 times the benefits to my company, I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t need you, but that you simply don’t have the opportunity to show it.

4. The integrity of job seekers is questioned

Nowadays, some people choose to falsify resumes and other unethical means to achieve certain goals. As a result, many companies no longer simply trust what is described in resumes. Therefore, they only take a quick look at resumes and leave it at that.

5. Resumes sent abroad are not the first choice for HR

Sending resumes to many companies can easily make HR think that you don't have a clear career plan, and thus judge your stability and loyalty. Another thing is your sincerity in applying for a job. Many HRs make dozens of calls every day, but perhaps less than 30% of them show up. Therefore, HRs are still reserved about job seekers who send resumes to many companies. After all, no one wants to do useless work.

When is it easier for people to see your resume?

Big time periods of the year: "Golden March and Silver April" and "Golden September and Silver October"

After March and April (spring recruitment), most people choose to change jobs after receiving their year-end bonuses, so there will be a large number of vacancies; September and October (autumn recruitment) are generally the period when the company's human resource development plan begins to be implemented, and there are also a large number of new positions during this period. In addition, the peak enrollment period for fresh graduates is also during this period, so it is easier to get interview opportunities and send resumes at this time.

Daily small time periods: based on HR’s work habits

Try to submit your resume in the evening or on weekday mornings when everyone just starts working, so that HR can see your resume in a timely manner.

Job posting cycle: staggered posting

Usually, when a position is first posted, many people will rush to apply. On the first and second days of the job posting, HR emails usually receive the most resumes. In order to increase the possibility of your resume being noticed, it is better to avoid this peak delivery, which may get more attention and get more interview opportunities.

How to submit a resume to a big company

Official website.

Generally, larger companies have official websites. There will be a section on their websites called "Join Us". This section will usually list the positions they are recruiting, job descriptions, and skill requirements. There will be a recruitment mailbox on the website, and you can just send your resume to this mailbox. If they are interested in you, they will contact you.

Recommended by friends.

The advantage of internal referral is that you can get an interview opportunity quickly. Your friend can send his resume directly to the company's HR or the head of the hiring department. In addition, the employer will generally take a closer look at the internally recommended resume, avoiding the risk of it being buried in the sea with other resumes.

HR job postings on industry websites.

For example, for computer science majors, programmers have some technical websites, such as V2EX, where HRs from some companies will post job postings. Such resumes are easily seen by HRs and will be responded to soon.
