9+ years of accounting experience and there is always some reason to not get it (we need more *insert industry* experience, we need someone who's been part of "hyper growth" environment not just growth, you are over qualified - apply as a manager, we decided to promote from within, it's unfortunate we couldn't agree on a time to meet; so we've hired someone else, we don't have the budget for your salary expectations) The amount of time spent on 1st , 2nd , 3rd interviews is insane. The time allocated for phone interviews is yuuge.
Recruiters - they are also a scam. None of these guys seem to have jobs. just fishing for a contact to add to their outlook.
whats a guy gotta do to get a job now a days.

Network! 9/10 people I know got their jobs because someone vouched for them.
Not saying it's fair, but if you look at it from a hiring manager's perspective they get a pile of "qualified" candidates of which a large % bs their experience and certifications. 2-3 interviews will filter out some people, but you really don't know this person's work style/behavior/attitude from a few short meetings.
Someone vouching for you really helps the hiring manager feel comfortable about your work ethic and experience. |
Yup this is pretty much how a lot of industries run. The last like 5 hires at my place of work have all been because someone vouched for them, and they take precedence over the typical emailed in resume/cv. With 9+ years of experience, you must know some people that can put in a good word for you.
