In today’s marketplace, employers are known to do pretty weird things.
Consider John… John is happily working at company X, but his contract is about to expire. So, John is looking for the next gig, and, in his search, comes across an opening at company Y, where he applied for a completely different role, in a different group, several years ago. Without hesitation, he sends his resume for consideration. As several weeks go by, he learns that company Y decided to pass on his candidacy. Reason? He applied there before…
Now, can we say “stupid”? All together now: S-T-U-P-I-D. Just think about. Suppose you applied to a bank, for one of their telephone customer service jobs. For one reason or another (nothing background-related) you did not get the job. Several years later, you are a successful financial advisor, applying to the same bank, this time to assist their clients in making decisions regarding important financial matters. Yet, because you have applied there before – you will not be considered…
These kinds of decisions are usually made by clowns, who have no direct contact with hiring managers. As a result, “Business Prevention Program” succeeds again, by disallowing qualified people through the door. The unexplainable irrationality of this decision can be characterized by one word. You guessed it – STUPID.
Now, you can have the most professional resume writer create your resume. You can have all the required buzz words. You can have references standing by. You can apply directly, or use a recruiting company. The net result will be the same: your resume will not see the light of day.
This post, just as others on this site, is supposed to provide you with job search advice. The only recommendation that can be made is along the same lines as what’s always been advocated: try to find a direct contact within the company, or, better yet, the actual hiring manager. Being in touch with them directly will, hopefully, prevent situations where decisions are made not by people who should be making hiring decisions, but by some paper-pushers…
