It is even tougher to get an interview call.
The reality is - You might be a great candidate. But, there is someone out there who:
1. Knows the recruiter.
2. Or has somebody who can vouch for them
3. Or has prior manager/colleague giving information on "EXACTLY" what the company is looking for.
When you apply on LinkedIn or Naukri - You can't compete with these candidates. Because, the organizations "Trust" referrals/warm intros more than hiring a candidate through online job portal.
- Even if you are the SMARTEST guy, you can't do much about it!
That is where:
1. College alumni network comes into picture.
2. Your prior colleagues come into picture.
3. Your parents network / your friends network / your extended family's network - everything becomes important when you are desperate!
If you really want to grow & have a long career
- Don't underestimate ANYBODY. Even your juniors or freshers on your team.
- If you don't have time for nice talk, don't talk! But, don't belittle others.
- Folks don't forget how you make them feel!
Be humble & help others.
This is the reality! There is NO OTHER WAY to grow in your career!
