FAQs

Why am I applying for jobs but not getting interviews?
Common reasons include poor CV targeting, unclear positioning, or relying too heavily on online applications rather than proactive strategies.

Is networking still important when job searching?
Yes. Many roles are filled through referrals or informal conversations before being advertised publicly.

How long should a job search take?
There’s no fixed timeline, but a focused, well-planned job search is almost always more effective than a long, unfocused one.
