Ever wonder why you never hear back after hitting ‘submit’ on a job application? In this video, I pull back the curtain on the real reasons why so many candidates get rejected before they even reach the interview stage. From biases in the hiring process to common mistakes in applications, I’m sharing the honest truth about what’s going on behind the scenes.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
How hiring managers really make decisions
The quick ways applications get eliminated
Why your followup might be hurting your chances
The hidden biases that impact your application
What truly makes an application stand out
If you’ve been frustrated by the job search process, this video is for you. It’s not about sugarcoating things—it’s about understanding the reality so you can make your next application count. Let’s get real about why you didn’t get the interview and what you can do about it.
