I have sent out several resume' to different companies. To date I have had no response. ??
I have been employed at a company for 10 years this October. I have been sending out my resume's but have had no response. I'm not happy here and therefore thought instead of quitting I would apply for some positions first. Is it because I am still currently employed that nobody wants to hire me? I gotta get out of here. I can't stand it! Somebody please give me some insight..................

I've actually heard that being currently employed looks better in the eyes of the prospective employer. Companies are more likely to call someone back that is currently employed, they get suspicious of applicants who are out of work.

It might be because they have no openings in your field at the moment if you are applying cold. You can get a job easier if you are already employed. Check back with the companies you have applied for and find out some answers.

Many people send out hundreds of resume's before they find something. So if you've sent "several", don't get discouraged. Definitely find something else before quitting. And if anything, being currently employed is probably a plus to potential employers - it's not a negative.

Are you applying to companies who are advertising positions that you believe you're qualified for? If you're just sending resume's out to companies you'd like to work for, whether or not they are advertising positions, response is likely to be extremely low.

keep at it.

no response is what the overburdened personnel department of most potential employers does when your information does not fit an immediate opening.


If I may suggest, targeting a particular position that you know is open in your cover letter will get your resume looked at for at least ten seconds (instead of two).

What will a potential employer look for in those ten seconds?

A. do you have the minimum qualifications they are lookinig for?

B. does your English skill and usage fit the educational level they want? [btw, your paragraph above needs improving in this area].

C. are you already likely making too much money to consider their position?

D. anything else that will lighten their workload by reducing the time they need to spend looking at you.

In some ways, it is a numbers game. You'll need to apply for lots of positions ... perhaps hundreds to find one that fits you well.

You can only know it might fit you well if you've already discovered what you want and where you want to go from here. [Negative information -- I don't want XXX -- is useful to you but not to a potential employer.]

And you might consider multiple approaches to finding a new position. Agencies, but probably not more than two and so you'll want the best and biggest in your field and area. Personal referral -- perhaps the most likely way to find a new position that really fits, AND you have to know how to make it into a system that really searches for that position. Job finding support groups. Internet. In fact, as many ways as you can think of.

No it has nothing to do with the fact that your employed. Have you;

1) Posted your resume' on Monster.com?
2) Searched Monster's database for opportunities in your field?
3) If you mailed your resume you will get less than 1% return as most HR executives use online methods.
4) Have you gone directly to the companies you want to work for and filled out their online application? If not...that is another quick way to get your foot in the door.
5) Have you gone to any of the companies you applied for and introduced yourself and gave them your resume'.
6) A lot of larger cities have job banks that you can access to post resumes and search for jobs...do a quick search online.

As a hiring Manager myself I get 10-15 resumes a week...if the resume is plain and boring I file it. If in the first sentence you can get my attention I'll read it...if not...I file it. Wording is very important in this impersonal world we live in.

Hope this helps.

It takes patience. I am kind in the same boat as yourself. I have been with the smae company for 9 years and there is no more room for advancment without leaving the area. Which my wife and I don't want to do.

Maybe these companies just are not hiring right now. You can always do follow up phone calls to see if they got your resume` and ask if they are hiring.
