[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was laid off in September.  I have a background in healthcare administration and consulting, with expertise in data analysis, though I am more of a generalist.  I have an advanced degree.  That said, I only apply to jobs I am fully qualified for: in terms of education, experience, and skills. I know a lot of these rejections are automated, but it drives me *crazy* when they read along the lines of “it’s just not a match” or the dreaded “we have decided to move forward with other candidates whose qualifications more closely align with our needs.”  I’m sure the answer is just not to read these emails, but it’s maddening! I do have the qualifications!

I’m getting down about the job hunt and just feeling discouraged. Please remind me why I shouldn’t think twice about these rejections. Thank you.[/quote]

I know that this is going to sound crazy but I recently read about people having success by MAILING cover letters and resumes to hiring managers after also submitting resumes online. Also you should be applying for jobs where you are not fully qualified for as well. [/quote]
