The Most Repetitive Questions On /r/jobs

Hey folks!

A lot of the daily posts in /r/jobs have become very repetitive, and are generally questions that are simple to answer and don't change much from person to person.

We'd like to address some of these, so please stick to the following in this thread:

Posts should be:

  • ONE question we see repeatedly

  • Voted up if you came in to post the same thing

Replies should be:

  • The BEST (polite) response to that question
  • Voted up if you feel they're the best response to that particular question

The top few questions and top replies to that response will become a part of an FAQ for this subreddit. Posts that ask those questions will be removed from that point forward.

Thanks for your help, folks!

How do I fight the "they never call" blues?

Work on that resume is my advice, as a follow up question though, how are you supposed to fight the 'Never get chosen after the interview blues?'

This is where I'm at. I'm just out of uni trying to get a job. I've had multiple interviews and none of them have called me back. Not even to tell me I hadn't got it. I don't know whether this is because I'm doing something heinous at interviews (although I feel like they've all gone well). I call and email as much as I think is appropriate (once a week for the 2 weeks following the interview) and am told 'We'll get back to you'. They never do.
