Asking for application feedback?

Question

Anyone here ask for feedback when rejected (just from the application submitted)? I understand that it's a tough market right now, but I'm wondering if I need to tweak anything on my resume at this point.&nbsp;

It'll be really tough to ask for feedback on an application if you haven't already spoken to a recruiter or anything, as a lot of companies don't have easily findable contacts. Additionally, many companies don't provide feedback from interviews anyways, as they don't want to open themselves up to lawsuits or any issues. You can still definitely ask, but you may not get much more than 'We're moving forward with someone else.'

I agree with the other poster, you may not be doing anything wrong at all, maybe just a victim of timing. If you're concerned that your resume might be a cause, you could make a couple of different resumes and try them out and see which ones have more success. I know Levels has resume coaching services I've heard good things about, so that might help too.

You're entitled to feedback. Including a call to get that feedback. In the first instance contact your recruiter, if the ghost you, go directly to the interview panel. Ultimately, if none of them reach back to you, then you're lucky to have dodged a bullet.One last thing to remember, (and you probably know this, I'm just reiterating) in reality, most candidates have done nothing wrong, for every job you ever got, someone had to be rejected. Never internalise job rejection.

If you're getting rejected when you apply for the job, it can be due to various reasons. Possibly your resume is not reflecting what they're looking for. Or they don't think it's a suitable fit for the position.I would suggest you try building your resume using any online resume builders. Have two to three types of resume for the different position you're applying for (most orgs have different position titles though responsibilities are same). You should politely enquire for feedback to improve your resume or to understand what companies are looking and is lacking in the resume. Again you can do this if the email is from a person and not from no-reply IDs. Most recruiters do respond with some details or a generic position is filled response.
