They're doing it on purpose. When a company tells you to do it online, they're telling you they are full of workers and it's a creative way to waste your time just to realize they were saying "we're full". Next time they tell you to do it online, they are trying to tell you "Go away, we dont need you!"
@@comradedeer9385 honestly depends, a lot of things are just online now. at the last 4 places I worked at people would ask if we were hiring, and we definitely were and needed new people, and I told them to apply online. that's just how our hiring process worked.
So basically, now a days we have to go through this game and make friends with the people online? Like and share? SMH. No, who would actually want to hire a server who is amazing, qualified, loyal? No, we want people who are social media pro's. Thanks, great tips, but it truly means that I'll be unemployed.
sydney alexander getting a job is like trying to join the Mafia. This is the reason why gossips and narcissists are filling the workplace while responsible, reliable, hardworking people like us aren’t wanted anymore. And we aren’t. Corporate fascism is more interested in compliant people who love being underpaid and abused. They no longer want intelligent, dignified employees. This is the reason why I’m moving to Asia and giving up US citizenship. America is not a country. It’s a giant mega corporation. Good luck to you👍 if you can, leave America.
I cannot express how much I agree with you! The only places that’ll really look at you without these tricks are the places that hire everyone, no experience needed, and where no one wants to work.
I work in career services at a college Sydney, and everything she's saying can be effective and often does work. It can be like "game" but a very beatable game. If youre a passive job seeker and just click apply youre chances are slim to none. But being an active seeker by taking these steps, is sometimes tedious but your results are significantly better. But its up to you.
sydney alexander when you really want the job you’re willing to go the extra mile. Especially if it involves an amazing company and you found your way in the door - why not do everything possible to stand out?
G.A.M.A I agree. Same with internships; I’ve been rejected from an interview with internships and I’m highly confused 🤷🏿♀️ maybe I have the wrong definition of what an internship is, but it’s an opportunity for college students-near graduates to obtain the experience that employers desire from applicants. I’m not saying employers should accept every student (like those with C averages) but those who are exceptional shouldn’t have to struggle this hard.
Can you imagine a fresh graduate student from a vocational school with no experience and have school debt that needs to be paid asap?....very degrading. Felt like I've wasted a lot of time.
Mysterio Amigo: I am not surprised. I reckon better than 80% of the vacancy postings on recruiting sites like Indeed, Workopoplis, Monster etc are fake or long expired to generate site traffic or worse nothing to do with jobs because they are just scammers fishing for personal info to sell to "analytics" firms who target advertising, or even identity theft. Job hunting used to be so much easier when the employer had to pay to put an ad in the newspaper for an XYZ technician. There was a certain "vacancies day" & you would buy a newspaper, trawl the back pages, write a letter with a dedicated resume & post it to the company by snail mail. This requirement to pay something up front weeded out the fake job ads & the "spray & pray" applicants. Then the Internet came along & things got REALLY complicated & frustrating...all in the name of being easier? A good job application takes at least 1/ 2 a day to do....but if 80% of them are returned to bogus jobs...
Right georgeEPC. lol. It's still who you know and if they like you, no matter how many hours of hard work you put into learning many skills and education first.
and some recruiters. I get contacted for jobs and they are't even sure on the specific of the job function, requirements and often it is a temporary position, but then they will ask me if I am interested. Many HR reps and recruiters will not even use email, they will just call at some random time and then ask you to call back, no time / day offered. So you wind up paying phone tag for days. I even had one that I emailed my phone number 4 times and she kept calling back on another number that I wasn't available on. Then she said that they had to 'move on' because they couldn't reach me.
It crazy, my first job was in 2006. Back then I was getting interviews left, right and centre. I would also get calls pretty much daily from agencies, all without much effort. 15 years later, with 10 years experience in my field. I tailor my resume to each job, put in hours of work for some positions and now I can't find another position in my field.
As a college grad who has had three internships and a few years of working experience with all of my jobs combined, I strongly believe it comes down to company values and equitable hiring practices. There are high level HR managers who make it a part of their job to increase opportunity for entry level and diverse candidates and there are those that don't seek anything but a resume and job description match.
4:15 is unrealistic. Sometimes employers post and tries to find someone who can do it all (ie. know and master every technology stack and programming languages out there). As someone working in the technology industry, that is nearly impossible. Finding a 90-100% match to the job requirements is unrealistic.
Yes, that's true but she said that 'rule' is only relevant if you apply online, not if you go around the recruiter which is what is much likely to succeed. And this applies only to companies that use an ATS - which is most companies. Your application is read by a machine - software configured to reject all applications that don't match a list of skills.
Most of the job postings I see are ridiculous. Must have experience in a list of 50 different technologies, be able to do everything themselves with little or no guidance and training, manage a team a people on a tight budget and even tighter deadlines. Anyone who can do all of those things would not work for you, who is apparently incapable of doing those things yourself. They should start their own company and make millions, not get paid 80k at your dysfunctional company.
This shouldnt be the way... Now adays mankind has to roll over play dead and beg for his/her job, and if there a good boy or girl they get a treat and a belly rub.
You need a job in order to get experience, but you need experience in order to get a job. SO if no one will hire you, than how do you get that experience?
I am so glad I saw this. As a dance instructor for over 15 years and with this Pandemic trying to find a Customer Representative position is not easy. But these tips may help. Thank You.
If ur not a robot then ur not getting hired! I'm too old for a career....just want a job! It's ridiculously insane what is expected for a minimum wage position!!
This information is a great direction. Remember this is to see how much work you want to do to get that job. If you just want to throw your resume out there you are fooling yourself. If you think that just because you have a college degree it gives you a sure win, again fooling yourself. Do the work, like she is talking about. There is no quick wins anymore unless you win the lottery and even then you have to do some homework on how to manage your money. We need to stop complaining and take responsibility for yourself and put effort into your career. These videos are some of the best I have seen and I have watched a lot as this is what I do for work, to help people find work.
I think you use your "networking" to get old work colleges to stick their neck out for you & speak to someone on your behalf. "What's this guy like?....Oh yes he's a great guy!....OK Get him to call me tomorrow" But the problem comes when you recommend someone but the whole thing turns out to be a bad hire.
Where I live I find 99% of jobs say they require "rockstar communition skills" or something like that. I am a shy introverted person who also has terrible handwriting. I feel like I am discriminated against at every turn because I'm not a type A personality. How do I find jobs that are a 90% match when no one seems to be looking for someone with my personality type?
Andrew Parker Looking for a job? Instacart is always hiring! No interview needed, just apply, pass a background check and wait for the company card. Takes about 5-7 days before you’re able to pick up hours. Make your own shift and take advantage of the freedom of working for yourself. If you have any questions, UA-cam has thousands of videos 😄 and of course you can pm me! shoppers.instacart.com/?referral=JCLEM901DD&
That's a tough one. Remember that most of the job ads is wishful thinking; They want the best possible people, so they just include such things in the ad. You don't have to fill all the requirements to apply, and a good workplace for you will be understanding with your personality. Of course you'll have to qualify for the job otherwise, like she said. That said I get really anxious around people, so I apply for newspaper delivery, packaging jobs, etc or tiny companies where you pretty much mind your own business. Excuse my english, this sounds weird even to me lol
Confidence is key. Believe you will get the job before you even begin the application process. Highlight your strengths and skills and tailor them to the job you are applying for. Your handwriting can be fixed, even if its just for the application. It's not as much about your personality as it is your confidence in your ability to fill the role they are looking for. O, and follow the tips on this channel. They're excellent.
Thank you so much for your advice! I had been using Indeed and Monster, just applying for everything I thought I was able to do. But then I saw your video on using a Disruptive Cover Letter and used it to apply for a job AND IT WORKED!!! I not only got a phone and face-to-face interview - I GOT THE JOB! I couldn't believe it! THE very first time I used this approach, it worked!!! I'm amazed by how much time I wasted looking for a job with a Cover Letter that was being ignored. Now I have a job that pays enough for me to finally get my own place...no more roommates! I've viewed other videos on your channel as well, but you have a lifetime subscriber here! Excellent, easy-to-follow advice AND WITH RESULTS! THANK YOU, THANK YOU so very much!
I am very much stressed to find a online jobs! became depressed! 'coz actually i sends a lot of resume a day on different company and it's really hard for me to find until now before I saw your video.. thanks a lot.
As an adult student, starting to apply with companies as I’m nearing the end of completing my degree ….. while also having nearly no experience…. I wanted to say THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! So much helpful input and great ideas. Especially for someone like myself who struggles to stand out on sites like Indeed being I’m not exactly qualified yet. Officially LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED ✅
J.T., you made me get the job offer! I'm an active referrer of Work it Daily. It's very good and I'd say tough to go through the exercises and look internally in ourselves our strengths and weaknesses in order to be prepared for the behavioral questions. Thanks a lot! Now I'll use Work it Daily as my career coach moving forward!
WOO!! That's SO great, Ivan! We're absolutely thrilled for you, and we're happy to hear that you got so much out of our program. Thank you for sharing! :)
It’s unreal how right you are. There are so many things we do and we aren’t even aware of it. I always thought a big company wouldn’t respond to my inquiries, but I’ll totally try your advice!
All of these videos and your company is what I really need right now. It divinely found its way to my search on UA-cam. I’m so grateful for all of this.
My question is how do you follow up after applying for a job on line if you cant get a contact # and/or email of someone in human resources to inquire and they dont want you stopping in in person and inquiring? Never get past the front desk and/or security
It is a real conundrum. I am British but live in Canada but I find this sort of "cold calling" INCREDIBLY rude. I am an engineer not a salesman....a guy with a calculator & a scope probe. Sure I work well in teams of like minded engineers & technicians (technical weirdos) but cold calling? It is especially hard when you don't know 1> if a call will be well received. 2> who you are calling & what to ask. 3> if it is convenient. 4> if the job even exists!...because there are so many stale postings or non existent "click bait" postings.
I normally call the employer after I applied online and let them know I recently applied and ask them personally if they are actively and currently seeking employees (Online applications are commonly outdated). This lets them know that I eager to work and aiming for a job interview.
Usually all they do if you actually know the company to contact is tell you to just apply on line and if they need to they will contact you for an interview.
After being out of work for over 3 months, I can't be fussy, so this is my personal feedback for these 6 excellent points; 1) I will have to try track dozens of companies that have a tiny chance of having a job that I can do. 2) I will try this when I can find any job posting to attempt. 3) I have looked at hundreds of posted jobs and can't match more than about 70% requirements at the best of times. This means that I have to try get past the ATS, but that seems impossible. 4) I have a broad skill set. Most jobs want some strength in a specific skill and so I can't beat those who focus on that one thing. 5) makes sense 6) I doubt that people 'know' (i.e. have personal credibility with) most of the people they are connected to on Linked In, but it is worth a try anyway.
I had a period of time 2014-2015 where I didn't get a interview, and I still don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've changed my application three times, and it's so rare for me to get an interview
I am in the same hole....I match the criteria for some jobs better than 90% & have tried all sorts of resume styles, 1 page, 2 page, targeted...yada yada...cover letters...blah blah. Sometimes I think that I might need to tie my resume to a brick & chuck it through the CEO's window to get noticed! Did you figure it out?
I just want to thank you for your video's. I really benefited from them. Because now I see everything I was doing wrong. In reality I basically had no clue. So thank you very much.
Great advice. Another point might be to add that timing is important as well.... apply for a position quite soon after it has been posted. Thank you for your guidance!
My experience is that no amount of innovation in applying online has ever worked. The only way I've ever been able to get my foot in the door of a firm is through recruiting firms.
I'm sorry to hear that that has been your experience so far. I can say that while it's not easy to stand out when applying online it's not impossible. Using our disruptive job search methods, you can learn how to stand out from the sea of applicants and get those interviews. I would recommend checking out our disruptive cover letter tutorial as a good first step: ua-cam.com/video/kdUafTx82OM/v-deo.html
I am in for a couple of jobs now which I match better than 90% for the whole requirement list but this is not the first time....yet no call backs...I am yet to figure out what I am doing wrong. The problem I see is that job hunting is a high level skill you need do once perfectly every 10 years, then you do other stuff in between & forget how to do it plus they move the rules during that time. Just think about something you did in a previous job but have not done for a decade....how good would you be if you had to hit the road running now?...you would need to learn it again!
This method and these steps are great for the applicant who is only interested in applying for a position with one company. And yes, companies do feel good when they believe applicants only want to work for them, but how can any job seeker sustain this model, when 9 times out of 10, that one company won't even get in touch with them, let alone extend a job offer. Job seekers cannot just apply to one job with one company and put all their eggs and job application methods in that one basket. Additionally from what I've experienced, on LinkedIn when you reach out with a connection request...no matter how professionally you word it, if someone doesn't know you, they ignore your connection request.
Thank you! I was thinking this is impractical for someone who wants a job soon. At the moment I can’t afford to be selective and curate myself for a couple select companies. I feel the need to send a bunch of apps and template cover letters to as many postings as possible for now.
I disagree about the 100% match thing. I've gotten jobs where I was not an ideal match, but something caught their attention about the way I presented myself in the cover letter and resume. In fact, most of my most successful positions were with jobs where I wasn't a match. Otherwise, there would be no way for people to switch careers or positions. I'm not saying it's the easy way, but I think people should keep themselves open-minded and seek the opportunities they truly want.
this was also my first question watching the video... said to myself... ok what if i want to find a job different then i have done the passed 15 years... so im stuck being a warehouse manager? i cant except that... because i want to pursue something else and this kind of made me turned off about what she explained.
This is the best advice I've had when It comes to this topic. Well, I just watched it so I haven't verified for sure,. But I'll come back and let you know. It really made me excited tho and feels like great ideas!
Looking for a new job can sometimes feel like the chances of hitting the lottery. Thank you so much for the tips though, I'm definitely going to be taking this advice.
I’m a senior in high school and I’ve applied to at least 10 jobs on indeed and only one of them emailed backed to call them, and of course, I didn’t get the job. I need a job or at least a few interviews within a couple weeks. Why is getting a job so hard!!! Time to try Glassdoor.
I did all of that and I was an exact match for the position, and all I got back was just keep applying. That’s the advice that they gave me. So I guess All I can say is, now what?
@Echo Boi Bullying someone for not having a job? Really? I mean it would be one thing if this person was lazy and not even looking for a job, but this person clearly wants to work so why would you bully them for having trouble
I love this video! Yes! let's stop applying on Indeed and start being more selective in targeting and networking with employers that we can see a future with. J.T. O'Donnel has the BEST advice out there for all you JOB SEEKERS and CAREER CHANGERS!
Yeh...I am at that. I spend all day searching & applying for suitable stuff but the time I take to move my mind sideways & do something else gets longer & longer...Eventually you loose the will to even try & some days I decide to do something else entirely.
I don't like the idea of mixing business with pleasure. I understand being professional on all platforms but my social media is my personal page I really shouldn't have to do all this for a simple entry level position. UGH! Thank you for the tips. I have been unemployed for over a year with a bachelor's degree in Education but don't want to teach and no one wants to hire a teacher. I have management experience but everyone seems to want a business degree. In a country that doesn't value education and doesn't acknowledge how the ability to teach can be co-habitable with training and organization skills that they are looking for. I can ace an interview if I can just get one and get past the fact that I have an education degree. I just need to figure out how to get someone to give me a chance. Every employer that I have ever had has been overly surprised and elated to have me, but now I'm stuck with this online world.
While I agree that it is harder to get an interview these days and that it's clearly due to the volume of applicants that employers are flooded with. I believe that it is also true that applicants have an easier time finding their ideal opportunity with the immense selection online. Perhaps it's the proverbial glass half full, but really it's just an expected trade off, when exchanging quality for quantity.
This was so informative and power packed with great career advice! I have been completely frustrated with Indeed & couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong in not getting calls. I’ve really fallen into a depression from it believing I’m not as marketable in today’s industries. I am completely changing how I go about my search based on your tips! Can you give any insight to Zip Recruiter as a job seeking platform?
Likindin, monster jobs, indeed etc. Go to local / state job sites and copy and paste jobs. They also go to company websites and copy and paste jobs. If you really want to be hired go to the website of the company you want to work for. Make sure that you use the terms in their discription in your resume and cover letter.
What do I do if I want to maintain my privacy (i.e don't want to follow/share anything with the company via social media)? How much of a negative impact will that have on my job search process?
In some career paths, using social media might make you look incompetent, because it shows ignorance of server side data mining and risk mitigation. For marketing, media and sales it's probably the opposite. You can also probably open lines of communication through phone calls and email too, most companies usually have that info on their website.
This is all great advice. I’ve never once been called from an application I’ve put in online. I’m assuming one factor is that I only have an Associate Degree. Even with 5+ years of experience in a field, I suspect my application still gets sorted out due to that. HOWEVER, I’ve landed some amazing jobs by making connections with someone at the company. A few times someone I met during regular networking practically begged me to come work for them. When I applied online (because you still have to go through the process) they couldn’t find my application, but were able to dig it up eventually.
Does a local store ore regional manager actually look online to see if I have been "liking and sharing" the corporate Facebook posts before calling me for an interview? Seriously?
@@davidbrewer7937 I've seen a lot of your comments and you really speak the truth. My director checks out applicants' social media pages well before their interview and trust me - he is not looking for "likes"!
There's nothing you can do about age discrimination because it can never be proven. Employers know how to get get around and away with not wanting to hire older workers.
@mugenishere Sorry but no. My resume does not contain any info regarding my graduation year. It states what year and how long I worked at xyz company; that's it.
@mugenishere No one should have their graduation date on the resume if it's more than 5 years ago. That's like listing your High School when you're past college.
Another tip, do not use Ziprecruiter, I applied for an insurance job outside of Houston on Ziprecruiter and got several emails from Ziprecruiter saying that my application had been viewed 3 times and I was likely a candidate. I called this company to ask about the hiring process and was told that they had not gotten anything from me through Ziprecruiter.
An employer of any meaningful size will not care about you liking or sharing their posts. Still good advice since it's a possibility. Great information though.
Why should I have to be emotionally involved with the company? I have two decades of experience. They aren't seeking me out and telling me why they're so interested in my skill set.
Yeah to be honest i can’t get myself to pretend that I care enough about a company whose existence I found out about a few seconds ago. And I have yet to see job postings for a company that I sincerely care about. I just want a job where I can use my skills and survive.
I'm in the UK but your advice is relevant all over the world. I've been applying on so-called job sites and getting absolutely no response (it's been soul destroying) so a big thank you for your wonderful advice - it bears out what I suspected - they're a waste of time.
I have a question What if you're a high school graduate who is taking first steps into the job world and trying to apply for a job with no work experience?
Jaxel Scythe it's basically thru HS friends. Similar to networking. My first job was at an outlet store and I was worked with several HS friends. That was in the late 90s. I was 17 so that's before I graduated.
Hi there! You might want to learn more and be prepared for your job. Here's something i found which will be really helpful for you to be outstanding at work. It helped me, I am sure it will for you. Check this video -- ua-cam.com/video/FcdxEL9zTBA/v-deo.html
Go to your local State Employment office. They should have an area specifically for young adults: resume writing, typing skills/testing, interview prep, and sometimes even a clothes closet for you to have or borrow business appropriate clothing for your interviews. In Sacramento CA, the agency is called SETA (Sacramento Employment Training Agency) - see if there is something similar. If not, the local employment (where you would file for unemployment) should be able to point you in the right direction. Also, definitely volunteer; as another person mentioned. Something you'd enjoy; local animal shelter, meals on wheels, senior living centers may need someone to read or socialize with the residents who don't have family nearby.
Thank you for you videos, I'm using this information to help my son be better at preparing for and applying for jobs, and making sure his social media is employer friendly
From a former hiring manager, these are excellent tips!!

I reckon better than 80% of the vacancy postings on recruiting sites like Indeed, Workopoplis, Monster etc are fake or long expired to generate site traffic or worse nothing to do with jobs because they are just scammers fishing for personal info to sell to "analytics" firms who target advertising, or even identity theft. Job hunting used to be so much easier when the employer had to pay to put an ad in the newspaper for an XYZ technician. There was a certain "vacancies day" & you would buy a newspaper, trawl the back pages, write a letter with a dedicated resume & post it to the company by snail mail. This requirement to pay something up front weeded out the fake job ads & the "spray & pray" applicants. Then the Internet came along & things got REALLY complicated & frustrating...all in the name of being easier? A good job application takes at least 1/ 2 a day to do....but if 80% of them are returned to bogus jobs...
Bottom line is most HR personnel are incompetent and they themselves hinder the process.
georgeEPC yes thank you for speaking the truth
Right georgeEPC. lol. It's still who you know and if they like you, no matter how many hours of hard work you put into learning many skills and education first.
Laura Tech yes! Unfortunately I learned this the hard way!
Dang it, Toby!
and some recruiters. I get contacted for jobs and they are't even sure on the specific of the job function, requirements and often it is a temporary position, but then they will ask me if I am interested. Many HR reps and recruiters will not even use email, they will just call at some random time and then ask you to call back, no time / day offered. So you wind up paying phone tag for days. I even had one that I emailed my phone number 4 times and she kept calling back on another number that I wasn't available on. Then she said that they had to 'move on' because they couldn't reach me.
It crazy, my first job was in 2006. Back then I was getting interviews left, right and centre. I would also get calls pretty much daily from agencies, all without much effort.
15 years later, with 10 years experience in my field. I tailor my resume to each job, put in hours of work for some positions and now I can't find another position in my field.
I followed your instructions + tips and watched almost all the videos of yours. Got an interview and landed my dream job. Thank you very much.
I only use social media to see whats available but I always go to the company's direct website to apply.
Yes I've heard this is best.
But what about when the companies website takes you to ones of those indeed websites to actually apply?
Just applied for a ton of jobs online before thinking of going on UA-cam to see how too go about it
Same.
Luis Soto I actually got an interview not long after the snagajob UA-cam channel helped a lot I just got off from my new job good luck!!
Lone Surviver thanks for the tip! I'll report back with any luck. 👍
Lone Surviver What kind of job?
Lone Surviver I did too
As a college grad who has had three internships and a few years of working experience with all of my jobs combined, I strongly believe it comes down to company values and equitable hiring practices. There are high level HR managers who make it a part of their job to increase opportunity for entry level and diverse candidates and there are those that don't seek anything but a resume and job description match.
No wonder. It seems that the majority of employers don't respond on Indeed.
Go to the company's direct website and apply. Applying on Indeed your app is just tossed into a pool of other applicants.
Listen to that dog, it knows the truth !!
I believe the same thing based on my experience with Indeed.
SUGAR XYLER lol
Ooo
4:15 is unrealistic. Sometimes employers post and tries to find someone who can do it all (ie. know and master every technology stack and programming languages out there). As someone working in the technology industry, that is nearly impossible. Finding a 90-100% match to the job requirements is unrealistic.
That's what we like to call the "Unicorn" candidate
Yes, that's true but she said that 'rule' is only relevant if you apply online, not if you go around the recruiter which is what is much likely to succeed. And this applies only to companies that use an ATS - which is most companies. Your application is read by a machine - software configured to reject all applications that don't match a list of skills.
Most of the job postings I see are ridiculous. Must have experience in a list of 50 different technologies, be able to do everything themselves with little or no guidance and training, manage a team a people on a tight budget and even tighter deadlines. Anyone who can do all of those things would not work for you, who is apparently incapable of doing those things yourself. They should start their own company and make millions, not get paid 80k at your dysfunctional company.
It's their dream candidate. If you have a handful of the "requirements" you are good to go.
Yes...no one wants to train people no more and if they do, very inadequate training. Talking from experience.
@@ultravioletpisces3666 yet we are told in another clip here you should not even bother unless you are better than an 80% match...
$80k?!? That’s dreaming, in Miami they want you to basically do the job of 5 people and pay you $12 an hour, no joke
Right, if I was that amazing I would just work for myself.
This shouldnt be the way... Now adays mankind has to roll over play dead and beg for his/her job, and if there a good boy or girl they get a treat and a belly rub.
@@TheAuthorOfThisLife I completely agree. Getting a job should be easy.
Exactly, this is absurd !! I'm just doing paper apps when I can find them.
I SWEARRRR!!!!SMH
Thank you! My husband applied using most of these tips three years ago and landed a great job. It's nice to get updated and refined tips!
Lucky him
So Lucky
You need a job in order to get experience, but you need experience in order to get a job.
SO if no one will hire you, than how do you get that experience?
I am so glad I saw this. As a dance instructor for over 15 years and with this Pandemic trying to find a Customer Representative position is not easy. But these tips may help. Thank You.
I actually raised my hand to a computer monitor
Yes! Love it!
Fill out every field is amazing advice! Definitely something that not a lot of people know about
If ur not a robot then ur not getting hired! I'm too old for a career....just want a job! It's ridiculously insane what is expected for a minimum wage position!!
I bet $1000 that you are black
My first job was at McDonalds and I can tell you they asked for way too much. I'm in college like c'mon I dipped after a few months smh
@@_Picasso y do you say that?
It certainly is. "it's just a job" ....apparently not any more....
Picasso Even if he is black what would that have to do with anything???
This information is a great direction. Remember this is to see how much work you want to do to get that job. If you just want to throw your resume out there you are fooling yourself. If you think that just because you have a college degree it gives you a sure win, again fooling yourself. Do the work, like she is talking about. There is no quick wins anymore unless you win the lottery and even then you have to do some homework on how to manage your money. We need to stop complaining and take responsibility for yourself and put effort into your career. These videos are some of the best I have seen and I have watched a lot as this is what I do for work, to help people find work.
without connections its waste of time
Sadly yes.
I think you use your "networking" to get old work colleges to stick their neck out for you & speak to someone on your behalf. "What's this guy like?....Oh yes he's a great guy!....OK Get him to call me tomorrow" But the problem comes when you recommend someone but the whole thing turns out to be a bad hire.
preach
Now more than ever in my career....I recognize how much the saying "its not what you know, its who you know " is 100% accurate
Its really hard
The worst is these companies making you create an account just to apply to a job.
When you will never go to that website again.
This was totally AWESOME. I will try these steps for sure.
Trying to get a job in a new field even with college courses seem a waste of time and energy of this is true. So much for moving into a new field.
Where I live I find 99% of jobs say they require "rockstar communition skills" or something like that. I am a shy introverted person who also has terrible handwriting. I feel like I am discriminated against at every turn because I'm not a type A personality. How do I find jobs that are a 90% match when no one seems to be looking for someone with my personality type?
Andrew Parker Looking for a job? Instacart is always hiring! No interview needed, just apply, pass a background check and wait for the company card. Takes about 5-7 days before you’re able to pick up hours. Make your own shift and take advantage of the freedom of working for yourself. If you have any questions, UA-cam has thousands of videos 😄 and of course you can pm me!
shoppers.instacart.com/?referral=JCLEM901DD&
That's a tough one. Remember that most of the job ads is wishful thinking; They want the best possible people, so they just include such things in the ad.
You don't have to fill all the requirements to apply, and a good workplace for you will be understanding with your personality.
Of course you'll have to qualify for the job otherwise, like she said.
That said I get really anxious around people, so I apply for newspaper delivery, packaging jobs, etc or tiny companies where you pretty much mind your own business.
Excuse my english, this sounds weird even to me lol
Confidence is key. Believe you will get the job before you even begin the application process. Highlight your strengths and skills and tailor them to the job you are applying for. Your handwriting can be fixed, even if its just for the application. It's not as much about your personality as it is your confidence in your ability to fill the role they are looking for. O, and follow the tips on this channel. They're excellent.
Why are shy people always overlooked smh
Thank you so much for your advice! I had been using Indeed and Monster, just applying for everything I thought I was able to do. But then I saw your video on using a Disruptive Cover Letter and used it to apply for a job AND IT WORKED!!! I not only got a phone and face-to-face interview - I GOT THE JOB! I couldn't believe it! THE very first time I used this approach, it worked!!! I'm amazed by how much time I wasted looking for a job with a Cover Letter that was being ignored. Now I have a job that pays enough for me to finally get my own place...no more roommates! I've viewed other videos on your channel as well, but you have a lifetime subscriber here! Excellent, easy-to-follow advice AND WITH RESULTS! THANK YOU, THANK YOU so very much!
I see your tail wagging from here
Tail to wag the dog?
I am very much stressed to find a online jobs! became depressed! 'coz actually i sends a lot of resume a day on different company and it's really hard for me to find until now before I saw your video.. thanks a lot.
I can't believe youtube give knowledge such as this for free, thank you so much!!!
Where those days when you have to only fill out application great days
You know what? You CERTAINLY hit the nail on the head when you highlighted just how frustrating online job hunting is.
As an adult student, starting to apply with companies as I’m nearing the end of completing my degree ….. while also having nearly no experience…. I wanted to say THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! So much helpful input and great ideas. Especially for someone like myself who struggles to stand out on sites like Indeed being I’m not exactly qualified yet. Officially LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED ✅
Omg this helped me so much, I got a job at Spencer’s because of this video… Keep up the great work❤
I really love your body language. your hand gestures, your face. it makes it even more enjoyable to listen to you.
Take a cold shower
I bet you touched yourself.
Picasso you’re sick.
Bro 😕
J.T., you made me get the job offer! I'm an active referrer of Work it Daily. It's very good and I'd say tough to go through the exercises and look internally in ourselves our strengths and weaknesses in order to be prepared for the behavioral questions. Thanks a lot! Now I'll use Work it Daily as my career coach moving forward!
WOO!! That's SO great, Ivan! We're absolutely thrilled for you, and we're happy to hear that you got so much out of our program. Thank you for sharing! :)
Have tried the last two steps. I just got a: Please don't call
It’s unreal how right you are. There are so many things we do and we aren’t even aware of it.
I always thought a big company wouldn’t respond to my inquiries, but I’ll totally try your advice!
This a living hell.
All of these videos and your company is what I really need right now. It divinely found its way to my search on UA-cam. I’m so grateful for all of this.
How wonderful! We're so glad that our videos have made a different in your job search :)
My question is how do you follow up after applying for a job on line if you cant get a contact # and/or email of someone in human resources to inquire and they dont want you stopping in in person and inquiring? Never get past the front desk and/or security
Darren Crispin I’m wondering the same thing.
It is a real conundrum. I am British but live in Canada but I find this sort of "cold calling" INCREDIBLY rude. I am an engineer not a salesman....a guy with a calculator & a scope probe. Sure I work well in teams of like minded engineers & technicians (technical weirdos) but cold calling? It is especially hard when you don't know 1> if a call will be well received. 2> who you are calling & what to ask. 3> if it is convenient. 4> if the job even exists!...because there are so many stale postings or non existent "click bait" postings.
@@davidbrewer7937 I would like to communicate some info could you please inbox me, mugisamike@gmail.com
I normally call the employer after I applied online and let them know I recently applied and ask them personally if they are actively and currently seeking employees (Online applications are commonly outdated). This lets them know that I eager to work and aiming for a job interview.
That's a good tip :)
Usually all they do if you actually know the company to contact is tell you to just apply on line and if they need to they will contact you for an interview.
@@lianelayman7577 yes but they will hear your name again and that can help.
After being out of work for over 3 months, I can't be fussy, so this is my personal feedback for these 6 excellent points;
1) I will have to try track dozens of companies that have a tiny chance of having a job that I can do.
2) I will try this when I can find any job posting to attempt.
3) I have looked at hundreds of posted jobs and can't match more than about 70% requirements at the best of times. This means that I have to try get past the ATS, but that seems impossible.
4) I have a broad skill set. Most jobs want some strength in a specific skill and so I can't beat those who focus on that one thing.
5) makes sense
6) I doubt that people 'know' (i.e. have personal credibility with) most of the people they are connected to on Linked In, but it is worth a try anyway.
Wow. This is a whole new level that I desperately needed - THANKS!
Great insight! I work in consulting and just shared a video on navigating your job search during the Coronavirus ✨
I had a period of time 2014-2015 where I didn't get a interview, and I still don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've changed my application three times, and it's so rare for me to get an interview
I am in the same hole....I match the criteria for some jobs better than 90% & have tried all sorts of resume styles, 1 page, 2 page, targeted...yada yada...cover letters...blah blah. Sometimes I think that I might need to tie my resume to a brick & chuck it through the CEO's window to get noticed! Did you figure it out?
I just want to thank you for your video's. I really benefited from them. Because now I see everything I was doing wrong. In reality I basically had no clue. So thank you very much.
You're very welcome! We want to empower job seekers with the knowledge to get the job they want and deserve :)
Great advice. Another point might be to add that timing is important as well.... apply for a position quite soon after it has been posted. Thank you for your guidance!
My experience is that no amount of innovation in applying online has ever worked. The only way I've ever been able to get my foot in the door of a firm is through recruiting firms.
I'm sorry to hear that that has been your experience so far. I can say that while it's not easy to stand out when applying online it's not impossible. Using our disruptive job search methods, you can learn how to stand out from the sea of applicants and get those interviews. I would recommend checking out our disruptive cover letter tutorial as a good first step: ua-cam.com/video/kdUafTx82OM/v-deo.html
even temp agencies are a huge crap shoot
@@Mattea68 100% agree Canadas temp work system is horrible they get paid to not find you a job :(
i feel like i have to lie in my resume to make sure they replay to me
i feel you, i even duplicated my c.v. n down-played my job titles and still makes no difference.
Outstanding content!
I’m going to work on my career daily!
Thank you!😀
Hahaha no one matches 100%. Are you kidding me? If you do match 100% than you don't need all these other tips.
Sam ha I think she means key words on your resume should match these job postings 90-100% learn those key terms
I am in for a couple of jobs now which I match better than 90% for the whole requirement list but this is not the first time....yet no call backs...I am yet to figure out what I am doing wrong. The problem I see is that job hunting is a high level skill you need do once perfectly every 10 years, then you do other stuff in between & forget how to do it plus they move the rules during that time. Just think about something you did in a previous job but have not done for a decade....how good would you be if you had to hit the road running now?...you would need to learn it again!
It’s who you know, not what you know!
I miss the good old days when you could get hired on the spot. And not have 1-3 interviews or panel interviews which are stupid.
This method and these steps are great for the applicant who is only interested in applying for a position with one company. And yes, companies do feel good when they believe applicants only want to work for them, but how can any job seeker sustain this model, when 9 times out of 10, that one company won't even get in touch with them, let alone extend a job offer. Job seekers cannot just apply to one job with one company and put all their eggs and job application methods in that one basket. Additionally from what I've experienced, on LinkedIn when you reach out with a connection request...no matter how professionally you word it, if someone doesn't know you, they ignore your connection request.
Thank you! I was thinking this is impractical for someone who wants a job soon. At the moment I can’t afford to be selective and curate myself for a couple select companies. I feel the need to send a bunch of apps and template cover letters to as many postings as possible for now.
how do I get a 90-100% match when entry level positions need 5 years of experience?
Awesome!!!! Wish i found you 4 years ago!! Will continue
I disagree about the 100% match thing. I've gotten jobs where I was not an ideal match, but something caught their attention about the way I presented myself in the cover letter and resume. In fact, most of my most successful positions were with jobs where I wasn't a match. Otherwise, there would be no way for people to switch careers or positions. I'm not saying it's the easy way, but I think people should keep themselves open-minded and seek the opportunities they truly want.
this was also my first question watching the video... said to myself... ok what if i want to find a job different then i have done the passed 15 years... so im stuck being a warehouse manager? i cant except that... because i want to pursue something else and this kind of made me turned off about what she explained.
This is the best advice I've had when It comes to this topic. Well, I just watched it so I haven't verified for sure,. But I'll come back and let you know. It really made me excited tho and feels like great ideas!
Looking for a new job can sometimes feel like the chances of hitting the lottery. Thank you so much for the tips though, I'm definitely going to be taking this advice.
Thanks alot for the heads-up i appreciated very much
I’m a senior in high school and I’ve applied to at least 10 jobs on indeed and only one of them emailed backed to call them, and of course, I didn’t get the job. I need a job or at least a few interviews within a couple weeks. Why is getting a job so hard!!! Time to try Glassdoor.
Try Hobby Lobby. They have paper apps and I have posted their pre employment math test. They are closed on Sundays so that's a plus.
I did all of that and I was an exact match for the position, and all I got back was just keep applying. That’s the advice that they gave me. So I guess All I can say is, now what?
How do u get a job if you're over 30yrs old and never worked before? I even applied to fast food and I can't seem to get my foot in the door.
JSM how did you make it to 30 with no job
JSM didn’t worry keep looking and think positive send your resume and cover letter and never give up good luck!
One good thing is to talk to some folks and take what you can get and stick to it until something better comes along.
@Echo Boi Bullying someone for not having a job? Really? I mean it would be one thing if this person was lazy and not even looking for a job, but this person clearly wants to work so why would you bully them for having trouble
JSM, that's really bad if fast food places won't hire you. Start your own business, it's your ONLY hope.
I love this video! Yes! let's stop applying on Indeed and start being more selective in targeting and networking with employers that we can see a future with. J.T. O'Donnel has the BEST advice out there for all you JOB SEEKERS and CAREER CHANGERS!

I am frustrated. I do feel like I'm getting no where
Yeh...I am at that. I spend all day searching & applying for suitable stuff but the time I take to move my mind sideways & do something else gets longer & longer...Eventually you loose the will to even try & some days I decide to do something else entirely.
Same
I don't like the idea of mixing business with pleasure. I understand being professional on all platforms but my social media is my personal page I really shouldn't have to do all this for a simple entry level position. UGH! Thank you for the tips. I have been unemployed for over a year with a bachelor's degree in Education but don't want to teach and no one wants to hire a teacher. I have management experience but everyone seems to want a business degree. In a country that doesn't value education and doesn't acknowledge how the ability to teach can be co-habitable with training and organization skills that they are looking for. I can ace an interview if I can just get one and get past the fact that I have an education degree. I just need to figure out how to get someone to give me a chance. Every employer that I have ever had has been overly surprised and elated to have me, but now I'm stuck with this online world.
@Onkar Sandhar Good idea. I actually have been trying just that. I'll see where it takes me. Thanks
While I agree that it is harder to get an interview these days and that it's clearly due to the volume of applicants that employers are flooded with. I believe that it is also true that applicants have an easier time finding their ideal opportunity with the immense selection online.
Perhaps it's the proverbial glass half full, but really it's just an expected trade off, when exchanging quality for quantity.
Thank you for this video! It helped me very much. My mother won't help me because she suffers with horrible mental illness. Thank you!
This was so informative and power packed with great career advice! I have been completely frustrated with Indeed & couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong in not getting calls. I’ve really fallen into a depression from it believing I’m not as marketable in today’s industries. I am completely changing how I go about my search based on your tips! Can you give any insight to Zip Recruiter as a job seeking platform?
The Gingered Muse odd. I had employers contact me through indeed

Likindin, monster jobs, indeed etc. Go to local / state job sites and copy and paste jobs. They also go to company websites and copy and paste jobs.
If you really want to be hired go to the website of the company you want to work for. Make sure that you use the terms in their discription in your resume and cover letter.
What do I do if I want to maintain my privacy (i.e don't want to follow/share anything with the company via social media)? How much of a negative impact will that have on my job search process?
Exactly! I don't want them on my social media.
I don't even have social media other than youtube. fml
A lot of employers think having access to your social media means they get an idea of who you are or something. Which is false.
When you follow a companies page, they don't have access. Its not the same as friending. They only have access to public information.
@@ultravioletpisces3666 until linkedin have ANOTHER security breach & your identity gets cloned like it did to me.
Excellent video. It's a must watch.
In some career paths, using social media might make you look incompetent, because it shows ignorance of server side data mining and risk mitigation. For marketing, media and sales it's probably the opposite. You can also probably open lines of communication through phone calls and email too, most companies usually have that info on their website.
This is all great advice. I’ve never once been called from an application I’ve put in online.
I’m assuming one factor is that I only have an Associate Degree. Even with 5+ years of experience in a field, I suspect my application still gets sorted out due to that.
HOWEVER, I’ve landed some amazing jobs by making connections with someone at the company. A few times someone I met during regular networking practically begged me to come work for them. When I applied online (because you still have to go through the process) they couldn’t find my application, but were able to dig it up eventually.
So the takeaway is: if you’re job searching, tap whatever network you have. Ask if they are hiring or know somebody who is.
Does a local store ore regional manager actually look online to see if I have been "liking and sharing" the corporate Facebook posts before calling me for an interview? Seriously?
The point is that you do it *for valuable information.* not for points with the company just for following.
He's more likely to be looking for the crazy pictures of you last Saturday huffing coke while surfing the top of an electric street car!
@@davidbrewer7937 I've seen a lot of your comments and you really speak the truth. My director checks out applicants' social media pages well before their interview and trust me - he is not looking for "likes"!
Interesting how ATS can stand for both Applicant Tracking System, and Automatic Toss System
What do you with age discrimination?
There's nothing you can do about age discrimination because it can never be proven. Employers know how to get get around and away with not wanting to hire older workers.
@mugenishere Sorry but no. My resume does not contain any info regarding my graduation year. It states what year and how long I worked at xyz company; that's it.
@mugenishere No one should have their graduation date on the resume if it's more than 5 years ago. That's like listing your High School when you're past college.
Another tip, do not use Ziprecruiter, I applied for an insurance job outside of Houston on Ziprecruiter and got several emails from Ziprecruiter saying that my application had been viewed 3 times and I was likely a candidate. I called this company to ask about the hiring process and was told that they had not gotten anything from me through Ziprecruiter.
An employer of any meaningful size will not care about you liking or sharing their posts. Still good advice since it's a possibility. Great information though.
So glad I came across this! Thankyou for the tips. This job search research is a job in itself!
Why should I have to be emotionally involved with the company? I have two decades of experience. They aren't seeking me out and telling me why they're so interested in my skill set.
Yeah to be honest i can’t get myself to pretend that I care enough about a company whose existence I found out about a few seconds ago. And I have yet to see job postings for a company that I sincerely care about. I just want a job where I can use my skills and survive.
Thanks for this video. I thought I was alone with this online application issue.
Ooh great I have to do social Media I never use it
I'm in the UK but your advice is relevant all over the world. I've been applying on so-called job sites and getting absolutely no response (it's been soul destroying) so a big thank you for your wonderful advice - it bears out what I suspected - they're a waste of time.
I have a question
What if you're a high school graduate who is taking first steps into the job world and trying to apply for a job with no work experience?
Jaxel Scythe it's basically thru HS friends. Similar to networking. My first job was at an outlet store and I was worked with several HS friends. That was in the late 90s. I was 17 so that's before I graduated.
Hi there! You might want to learn more and be prepared for your job. Here's something i found which will be really helpful for you to be outstanding at work. It helped me, I am sure it will for you. Check this video -- ua-cam.com/video/FcdxEL9zTBA/v-deo.html
Just like me.
Go to your local State Employment office. They should have an area specifically for young adults: resume writing, typing skills/testing, interview prep, and sometimes even a clothes closet for you to have or borrow business appropriate clothing for your interviews. In Sacramento CA, the agency is called SETA (Sacramento Employment Training Agency) - see if there is something similar. If not, the local employment (where you would file for unemployment) should be able to point you in the right direction. Also, definitely volunteer; as another person mentioned. Something you'd enjoy; local animal shelter, meals on wheels, senior living centers may need someone to read or socialize with the residents who don't have family nearby.
Use your states employment agency. It's free and they are there to help. They will help with the resume and learning the interview process. Good luck
Thank you for you videos, I'm using this information to help my son be better at preparing for and applying for jobs, and making sure his social media is employer friendly
