I went from two weeks of absolutely no calls or emails to getting seven interviews and landing my new job within 3 weeks of changing my address. A lot of times, recruiters filter by geographic area so you may not show up on their radar even though you're qualified for the job. Just food for thought!  |
Wow, why didn't I get this advice before? I applied to some AWESOME jobs and haven't heard a thing back from them! Darn! That just really really sucks!
I just read your response to my husband who wanted to bang his head against the wall if he had only thought to use my parents' local address on our resumes. Well we will from now on!
THANK YOU!!!!
