*3 Reasons Why Job Interviews Dry Up … and What To Do About It*

Sometimes jobseekers don't want to acknowledge that resumes have changed
dramatically over the last few years, but they have. For example, if
candidates aren't factoring applicant tracking systems (ATS) into their
resume's "equation" then it's definitely time to do so. Don't make
the mistake of telling yourself, "well, this resume has performed for
me in the past." Yeah, it may have … but like I said, the resume may
have reached its peak potential in this employment landscape.

Using the right keywords is of growing importance, and has a direct impact
on how well resumes perform when thrown into the applicant tracking system.

Also, don't forget to assess your interview techniques – what have you
learned? What could you improve upon?

Second, your stamina has run its course.

No shocker here: searching for new employment is well, hard work! Plus,
hiring companies sometimes don't make the employment process easy.

With that said, it's not uncommon for the patience, dedication, and
persistence levels of a jobseeker to run dry. Here are some things to keep
in mind if you are beginning to feel defeated:

• Try not to pin all of your hopes on one job opportunity.

• Realize that rejection is part of everyone's job search and try to set
realistic expectations.

• Don't wallow – take action: research new opportunities, practice your
interviewing skills. Call someone who will encourage you!

• Take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally.

• Reward yourself for your job search efforts by doing something you enjoy.

• Take some time off from your search and begin again when you've had some
time to regroup and recharge.

Third, your resume isn't being shown in the right places. Are you using
LinkedIn? If not, you're doing yourself a major disservice. Recruiters and
hiring managers are going gangbusters over LinkedIn's new recruitment
services, meaning they are sourcing candidates via LinkedIn more than ever
before.

Get your LinkedIn page set up … FAST! Just like with your resume, utilize
ideal keywords and key phrases within your LinkedIn page too.

And when you do, start building your network by connecting with a few
recruiters and potential employers.

Want to turbo charge your LinkedIn presence? LinkedIn offers advanced
InMail functions to paid members, so consider that feature to increase your
reach to hiring companies as well.

Good luck to you!

*Accepting counter offer closes doors*

Dear Joan,

I would like to thank you for your weekly articles and resources. I found
them to be very helpful in my job search.

I have a question that I hope you can answer for me. I am an established
hotel director of sales; one and a half years ago, I was offered a job by a
company; they even agreed to raise the salary for me, which I accepted.

Upon my resignation from my job, my employer offered to match the other
salary. I believe the reason for this was, in part, due to the fact that
the general manager of my hotel resigned the same day that I did.

I contacted the hiring manager, who made the job offer, and explained my
situation to him. I felt a loyal obligation to stay, in order to prevent my
company any hardship, as a result of losing their top two managers.

I have heard from a friend, who works for the hiring manager, that I have
blown any chances of working for him, or the company, in the future. This
company just posted an area director of sales position that I am prefect
for. My question is: How should I go about making my interest known.

Answer:

Imagine for a moment, that you met a wonderful woman and you had a
whirlwind romance over the course of several months. You realize that you
want to commit to her—she has the values, goals and dreams of the person
you want to spend your life with.

You decide to propose. She accepts! You are both thrilled. Except that she
has recently broken off a long-time relationship with her boyfriend. When
her boyfriend finds out she is committing to another man, he freaks out and
proposes on the spot. He promises her all the things he knows she wants. It
turns out, her former boyfriend really wasn't a bad guy—in fact she loved
him—but he never seemed to be able to make that final commitment. The
threat of losing her was all he needed to push him over the commitment
threshold.

Now she is confused. She knows his family, they have great friends in
common and they enjoyed each other's company. He wasn't a bad guy…he just
didn't have everything she wanted. That's why she fell for you.

What makes it worse, is she finds out his mother has been diagnosed with a
terrible illness. Her old boyfriend needs you. His mother needs you. She is
terribly torn about which man to choose. She decides to say "no" to
your marriage proposal and go back to her former boyfriend and marry him.

Years pass, his mother recovers, but alas, her marriage isn't what she
thought it would be. Some of the old problems resurface. She wants
something more. She calls you and tells you she wants to get a divorce and
start seeing you again.

I think you know how this story ends.

The hiring manager invested a lot of time and effort into hiring you.
Although it is noble that you felt loyalty to your past company, I doubt
the hiring manager will forgive being left at the altar.

I suggest you move on and pursue other opportunities. If your current
employer provides a career path that you want to pursue, have a
conversation with your manager about it. But I don't suggest job hunting
and hoping your current employer will make you another counter offer. They
are probably fully aware that you will find another opportunity, since you
tried to leave once before. Next time you get an offer, you will be wise to
take it.
