Why You’re Not Getting Hired (Wrong Role, Wrong Strategy)

Why It Matters

Accurate role targeting and tailored resumes materially increase hireability and efficiency; avoiding expired or recycled listings saves time and improves conversion rates. Fixing targeting and application strategy is a higher-leverage fix than simply increasing application volume.

Summary

The adviser tells a job seeker that their main problem is targeting the wrong role—applying as a performance engineer when they should be pursuing data engineering or AI roles—and that performance engineering may be becoming less in demand. They warn that metrics and expectations differ by job title, so mass-applying to mismatched positions will yield poor results. The adviser also cautions against relying on LinkedIn Easy Apply, noting many listings are recycled or expired and that volume applications often hide targeting and resume issues. Overall, getting two offers from a thousand applications points to a mismatch in role targeting and resume strategy rather than sheer application volume.
