1) Have you been unemployed for more than 8 weeks?
2) Have you been sending out job application after job application and not been called back at all?
3) If you have you been contacted by different recruiters repeatedly, do they fail to follow up for an 2nd or 3rd interview in person?
4) Do you think your work experience is lousy and feel that employers would never want to bother with you as a future employee?
5) Are you randomly applying to a wide variety of jobs with the same resume?

If you answered “yes” more than 3 times, your career is in danger. Believe it or not, you are setting YOURSELF up for failure right at the start and need to make some big changes AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Here’s why:
- A job application that doesn’t spark any interest for an employer means that your work experience isn’t being well represented. In other words, your resume and cover letter don’t make your value as an employee apparent to an employer. If you don’t benefit them, why should they hire you?
- If you think your experience is lame, so will your employer. You need to be proud of your work and represent it in the most positive, productive light possible.
- Employers need each employee to be a master of a single domain, not a jack of all trades. Why? Because no one likes someone who does a half-baked job. If your resume is all over the place, your employer will think the same of you. Each resume has to fit the job description exactly and even then, it has to meet the human resources' criteria for an ideal worker.

It's time for you to start thinking: "Do I want to improve my chances at a great career?"

If yes, then bottom line, it's time for you to get some seriously professional help for your resume and cover letter.
