folks,
I recently graduated with my Finance undergrad degree. I have applied through career sites around 20 to 30 companies already but didn't get a single call yet.
I have best resume and cover letter according to Resume Expert..... so what do you guys think ...what went wrong...need some job seeking tips

Hey cool........
I was also iin the same situation.....but I finally found a company Bramha Infotech. I heard a lot of good stuff about this company...that's why i am planning to go there.........check it out.....they have advertisement in Sajha.com. It is the top-right banner. and the position is for Businness Analyst......

thanks Nepal2007

but i am looking for Direct hire position. I don't want to deal with middleman like agencies and consultants...

Mr Cool XXX,
If you havent heard from then even after applying at20-30 of them, your resume is still sort of something, or they way you applied.

I had gone through the same phase, and I would advise you to take care of the following things:

1. Only apply at requirements which match 90% to your resume.
2. Change your resume a little bit to make it job and role specific. Dont forward same resume & cover letter to 20 different companies.
3. Indicate in the Cover letter why you are applying to that particular company and not others. You have to research the company you are applying to, and know their strengths and attractive points, objectives anad goals and make sure you include those points in your resume.
4. Make the cover letter as personal as you can.
5. Follow up after a week you apply.

Thnx CrystalCracker,

These were really good info. Actually i followed one of your points making cover letter personal and different to each companies.

Because I left my last job in less than 1 year, Do you think that might be the reason? I've heard that listing work experience that is less than 1 year could hurt your chance of getting an interview because employers don't like people who jump around.
