When your job search seems like it’s going nowhere, it’s important to take a step back and reevaluate: revise your resume, rethink your search strategy, and practice your interview skills. It’s easy for job hunters to hinge success on these components. However, recruiters and hiring managers are not only considering these factors. They are considering you as a whole person. In addition to your resume and your interview, they look at traits such as your reliability, your dependability and your personality in relation to the workplace and company culture. You can’t only be qualified to score the offer, you have to be an overall fit for the role.
