**ABOUT WONSULTING**
Wonsulting was founded in 2019 with a mission of turning underdogs into winners: helping those who come from non-target schools/non-traditional backgrounds to get them into their dream careers. So far, we've helped tens of thousands receive offers from top companies including the Google's, Deloitte's, and Goldman Sachs' of the world.

My dad walked into a single newspaper office right after getting his journalism degree and got hired within 30 minutes. People who grew up in the 70s will never understand today's job market.

I sent our 400 resumes in 6 months. Each one I worked on. I tweaked the cover letter. I got 5 calls and no offers. Ironically, at the time I was helping others tweak their resume for some cash. I did 3 resumes - they all got jobs within a week!

Now make one for entry level 😂 I am sure it goes to 1-2 interviews per 100 applications

[winterheat]

guess what, I even feel that recruiters sometimes set you up for an interview, so that they are "busy" doing something and won't get laid off. They may not be really hiring. They just want to look busy. And they may even let you do an interview, some may even ask you to do a 5 hour "homework", and then later on, tell you they are moving on with other candidates, which is just a boilerplate statement. Well, then they won't allow you to be interviewed with that company for a full year. That's bad treatment to you, right? In America, it is called, "Well, it is YOUR problem."

This video was spot on. I am white and my name is a black persons name. Co-workers at jobs thought I was black because of my name before they met me whenever I started a new job. I will tell you first hand employers profile names and because of my name and racial profiling this has prevented me from getting interviews. I recently changed my name on my resume and my theory worked. I got more calls for interviews. Sad but true.

[esmeekruidhof]

I have a resume type 3 styled, and I got 50% interviews on my applies. I think the difference in this is the kind of job you're seeking: in my case, I was looking for a communications/content creation/marketing job. In that field, being focused on looks and creating something visually beautiful is more important vs. a job where being data-driven is more important.

Keep in mind that recruiters aren't always hiring or looking to fill needed positions, they only do that once in a while if they're actually running short of workers. And trust me it got nothing to do with the layout or the colors in your resume because they don't even read it in the first place and don't care about the skills you're bringing to the establishment. They have other criterias based on requests from the general directors as sex, age or place of residence and even if you were the only professionally qualified person among their favorable candidates, they will just stall you with additional interviews and silly homeworks and at the end tell you they'll proceed with other candidates or completely ghost you. Job hunt is simply pure luck and i wish the best of it for everybody that's searching.

The reason resumes 3 and 5 were unsuccessful is that the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) was unable to read them. Recruiters do not have the time or energy to read every resume; they rely on the ATS, which scans the resumes and assigns a score of up to 100 points. If your score is below 80, you will automatically receive a rejection email. A score above 80 means a recruiter will review your resume. That's why it's advisable to search for an ATS-friendly resume template and use that instead.

We use to literally show up at companies and ask “you got any jobs?” and get employed.

[daiyousei]

From an employer perspective, you are a wage slave. A leased piece of equipment. The idea is that if you can afford to take a year or several years away from wage slavery, you won't be able to be a good wage slave. That's why you don't get hired. If you're gonna do that, start your own company, take courses, work on projects, make it clear the time was still spent working and growing your skills, then they would think you're just an ambitious wage slave.

[ShopperPlug]

That is unbelievable, in this day and age, graduating from college you'll need to start sending out at at least 200 resumes to get a job, would've never thought it would be like this. How in the world people are sending out 200 resumes? Some kind of automation app?

[towersofzeyron]

Have to say this, in today's job market, I highly highly recommend that you take ANY job that you can land, even those for which you are overqualified and underpaid, and start your own side hustle. Understand that it's unlikely even the best job matching your qualifications can make you rich. Put yourself in charge of your financial success and start your own thing, on the side, in the evenings, working weekends. For decades, this is what musicians and actor wannabes in Hollywood have done. Some struck it big, and some are still waiting tables. You don't always get what you want in life but if you go for it, and you've chosen your hustle in a way that fits with your natural talents, you have a great shot. It is my thesis that most people will make it rich in 1-3 industries with a good effort. Your challenge is to discover 1 of those before it's too late. Steve Jobs at HP? Considered a "bum." Steve Jobs at Apple? A "king!"

I had a 3 year gap in employment and got a job offer. I was honest about it and told the recruiter that I explored and lived life. I got into astronomy, photography, backpacking and travel. Done some of the things I wanted while I was young enough(40’s). They saw value in my passion, experience and boldness and thought these experience offered a unique perspective.
Edit: three years is a long time. I got the impression from my interviews that a 12-24 month gap is easier to justify as long as you are doing something. Think taking some courses or the other things I described. Just don’t smoke weed and play games all day. That helps no one haha. It also depends on your field. I’m in business services so it’s easier to walk back in. If your field could pass you by in three years, then maybe consider taking less time or do some volunteer work to keep sharp along with a short course or two while you’re away. Good luck!

[nickdevaney]

I have watched a few of these, types of interviews and out of all of them. This is by far the most valuable information I have received. When you said about removing the time not being worked, I lit up as what you said next, was what I was thinking from the get go. Get a course to help securing a new role. Nice one young man!!

[aardvarkhendricks]

Let's not forget that most of the people who are getting hired in corporations know someone. They have contacts through family, friends, fraternities, etc. I think the only reason why a company even posts the jobs to the public is because they are required to by law. There should be federal laws to the hiring process with strict penalties. Otherwise, UBI is the only solution.

[recruitcrm]

Your experiment with resumes is both insightful and shocking! It's a real eye-opener for job seekers to understand what actually works. Thanks for sharing!

[byeteaching]

Thank you for addressing these mistakes head-on. It's refreshing to see someone discussing the challenges teachers face when transitioning careers. Your video provides valuable guidance and encouragement. Keep up the excellent work!

[kamilp]

I think the result can be biased and it should be mentioned/resolved in the video. This is how they may be biased: After sending the first resumes to each of the companies, many of the recruiters would remember the details of the first resumes. So after sending additional few resumes to the same companies, recruiters could recognize similar information, thus they could be more prone to rejecting other resumes, because of them being sus. That bias may cause the whole experiment to be missinformming. But maybe I am wrong, if you think so, please share your point of view 😊

[silvertechnolo]

We may as well have an AI do this. If these corporations will cheat and be biased after running your resume through algorithms after you spend so much time preparing. Then let's automate this process.

The power is insanely one sided in America, practically the average person is just a pawn to toss in the trash when a company sees fit. Then make these processes easier for the average person. At least have a fighting chance

Objectively the resume with META as an employers significantly got a higher interview rate. The other ones were nearly identical in response.
