> i've gotten a few interviews, more coming. Assuming you're not completely socially inept, you're fine. It's those who don't even get interviews that I worry about because that suggests they don't have the experience needed to get the roles they're applying for. The fact you're getting interviews suggests people feel you have the right skills, but interviews can be tough. You're often competing against several other people who often aren't any more skilled, but just "click" with the interviewer better so get the job. My guess is that if you keep applying for roles and getting interviews and you'll find someone that will like what you're offering eventually. Don't lose hope. The other thing I'd say is just remember this is largely a numbers game. I've seen enough bad hires to know that luck plays a significant role and getting hired isn't purely a reflection of experience. If you have 50 people apply for a role employers are not carefully weighing up the pros and cons of each candidate, instead they're making quick judgements based on a quick glance over your profile. Similar things tend happen during interviews, rarely will they invest in the time to carefully weigh up each candidate by ability. Instead, they're just looking to get a rough feel for each candidate's ability. You should use this to your advantage. Make sure the first paragraph of your resume/CV makes you sound great. Then when you get to the interview doing little things like dressing well, being enthusiastic about the role/company, and trying to keep the conversation flowing without too much awkwardness will help massively. I think you're fine though. If you managed to get an offer after just a few interviews that would probably be more surprising honestly. |
