Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Oct 26: No one is calling me about my resume!
I’m so frustrated. I’ve had a great career and I do a great job for my company, but no one is calling. What’s the matter with me? Why doesn’t anyone want me? I know that I can help a company grow, but where do I find the right companies to talk with?
Everyone says I have a good resume and I’m spending every night at the computer sending out resumes, but no one is calling. I don’t just send my resume to anyone. I research each company that I see a posting for, I tailor my resume for that job. I am MORE than qualified for the job, but then no one calls. I decided to take the bull by the horn and call some of these companies. I was sent into voice mail where I left a message. But no one is calling me back.
I went into LinkedIn and found some people at the company and sent them an “inmail”, but no response. Am I saying the wrong thing in the “inmail?” What’s the best way to angle the “inmail” so that people will call me back. This is so frustrating.
I am going to a networking meeting tonight to try and get some leads on any openings I might qualify for. Hopefully someone can help me.
Meanwhile, there are layoffs coming in my company. My boss tells me it won’t be me that is leaving, but why don’t I believe him? The company only cares about themselves and my boss is looking out for himself. I’m afraid to talk with anyone else. I’m a manager and I need to look professional and composed, but inside I am screaming “get me out of here!” The whole world is crazy.
I am a single working mom with responsibilities. My kids are depending on me. I don’t know what to do.
