Do you think I'm bound to get a job interview?

Question

I applied for 7 state jobs and 8 Indeed jobs. So that's 15 jobs within the last few days. I'm hoping I get at least two interviews if not more.  *Fingers crossed*

I hope with those Indeed jobs you applied through the company website and not just through Indeed. I found out the hard way that many jobs on Indeed aren’t real jobs. They just want to steal your contact information so they can try to scam you with fake job ads. I’ve been applying for jobs too and if I find something on Indeed I look for a company website to visit and apply there. I found more success that way. That’s just my experience.

I hope you do. I just wen't through almost a dozen over the last few months. 2 offers, took 1 though it wasn't the best pay. Start in August

Good luck! I know it's almost impossible to get an interview these days.

I like the initiative—you’ve already done something many people procrastinate on.

But you’re not “bound” to get interviews just from 15 applications. It’s a good start, not a guarantee.

To improve your odds quickly:
- Tailor your resume and cover letter to each posting’s keywords.
- Apply to a few more roles daily for the next 2–3 weeks.
- Follow up on state applications through their portal or HR contact.
- Network: connect with people in those agencies/companies on LinkedIn.

Volume + targeting + networking is what usually gets my clients interviews.

Don't just cross your fingers. Call those companies to follow up on your applications. That's how you stand out. Give it at least a week after applying and, fi you don't hear anything, be proactive and call them.

AviatorTom · Answer

If you are qualified for those jobs, you should get at least a few job interviews. The state jobs might take a while to decide, one way or the other. Companies that post on Indeed are usually looking for people and make up their minds about possible candidates relatively quickly.

In any case, it might be several weeks before you hear anything.

what kind of jobs are these?  I think that's a big factor

Tarifa · Answer

Whenever I was looking for a job, I found that sending out 10 CV or applying for 10 jobs usually got me 3 interviews and 2 firm offers from which I could choose. I think that's a good average, on the condition that you apply for jobs in line with your degree and previous experience.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

I've applied for way more than that before and got zero. But since you live in the South, your chances are higher. Good luck

douride2 · Answer

If where you are is any thing like here. When a job opens up they have 100s of applicants. Well good luck on your job search.

Stay on top of them so call and ask a few times. To find out if you get a chance to prove yourself and how you're going to become an asset for that company

I had better, luck with Zip Recruiter. At least you would get some feedback if your resume was accessed.

Good thing you did the addition.. Indeed is like applying to be sucked into a black hole, so let's subtract 8. The remaining 7 are probably less likely lol.

Godihateyou · Answer

Most jobs off indeed are fake. They already hired internal but for legal reasons they need to interview external. The state jobs I know nothing about except they look for minorities first. Illegally.

msc545 · Answer

Maybe. I think it depends a lot on what you said when you asked for the interview.
