Since about the second week of this new year I've been looking for a part-time job. I've been looking on Monster, Career Builder, Jobing, and local city and state sites. In this time, I've applied for about 15 jobs that I'm definitely qualified to do. I've had two (2) calls. The weird thing about these calls is that they're for jobs I didn't apply for. They're from recruiters/employers that have seen my resume on a site and thought I'd be a good match for a job they have. I have an interview today at 2:00 due to a recruiter seeing my resume.
Now, I'm definitely not complaining that the only calls I've had are from resume searches by recruiters/employers. I am saying it's frustrating that I haven't heard a thing from the 15 places I've actually applied to! I'm definitely qualified for the jobs I've applied for... I'm wondering if they're thinking I'm over qualified? I do state in my cover letter that I'm looking for a part-time job because I'm in school. *shrug* I dunno. It's just really frustrating.
