Sick of Job Application Rejections? This 5-Minute Trick Can Change Your Luck!

Are you tired of applying for jobs and never hearing anything back?

It can be frustrating, especially when you realise that hundreds of people are also applying for the same positions you want.

The truth is, employers can't interview every single applicant; they usually aim to interview only 5-10 people.

However, there's good news! Standing out from the crowd is not as difficult as it may seem.

Most people simply follow the same approach of applying online and leave it at that.

But if you truly want to increase your chances of landing an interview

Then there's a simple 5-minute step you can take after submitting your application.

1. Find the company's LinkedIn Page (here’s an example: National Trust)

2. Click the “X# employees” link where it mentions your connections

3. Filter/Search this list for a recruiter (ideally someone doing related work to what you just applied to)

4. Send a message to that person with something like this:

-----------

"Hello [Their Name],

I wanted to reach out and inform you that I have recently submitted my application for the [Job Req #]. With a strong passion for [Insert Your Passion], I bring valuable experience, skills, and qualifications in this field.

I understand you may be very busy, so please don't worry if you are unable to assist personally. However, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect with anyone who can provide further insights into the role.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Best regards,

[Your Name]"

In just a few minutes, you can easily boost your likelihood of success.

Worst case: you don't get a reply and no worse off than if you never sent a message.

Best case: You've just put a face to a name and gone the extra mile. As a result, you've shown motivation and determination to work for their company.

You've done something 99% of people aren't doing.

It is really that easy to stand out.

Happy job hunting.
