Why can't I get any interviews?

If you have applied to 100s of jobs with no responses, you've probably asked yourself this question. But the real questions to ask are: 

1. Am I applying to the right roles?

2. Is my resume reflecting my value?

In today's competitive job market, you can network your way into a role, be referred by someone on the inside, or apply through regular channels. 

If you're applying through regular channels, a bad resume is likely to be automatically rejected and a mediocre resume will not position you at the top of the interview list.

ATS Rejection

Applicant Tracking Systems automatically filter out 75% of resumes before they reach human recruiters. Modern ATS platforms like Skima AI and Manatal* use sophisticated AI algorithms to scan for specific formatting patterns, keywords, and structural elements. Poor formatting, missing keywords, or incorrect structure means instant rejection - and these tools are incredibly powerful at automating resume screening, skills gap detection, and candidate ranking. 

Missed Opportunities

Every day your resume sits unnoticed is another day competitors with stronger resumes land interviews for positions you're qualified for. While you're waiting for responses that never come, others are moving through interview processes and securing offers. The opportunity cost compounds - each missed interview could have been your next career breakthrough. 

Salary Stagnation

Weak resumes lead to fewer interviews, less negotiating power, and ultimately lower salary offers.  When you finally do get an interview, you're often competing from a position of desperation rather than strength. Your earning potential decreases with every missed opportunity, and the gap between where you are and where you could be grows wider. 

Career Anxiety

Months of applications with no responses creates doubt, stress, and career uncertainty. You start questioning your skills, your worth, and your career choices. The longer the search drags on, the more desperate you become, leading to poor decision-making and accepting roles below your potential.

The resume I received from CyberpPath Coaching helped me discover things about my career that I could not see. It was all me & my accomplishments - nothing made up. It was just stated in a way that showed my real impact and my value as a professional. I feel more confident now. 

— LC., Policy Analyst

"After 8 months of rejections, CyberPath's resume rewrite got me 3 interviews in the first two weeks. I landed a senior role with a 30% salary increase."

— SM., Security Engineer

"I thought my 15 years of experience spoke for itself. Turns out, it wasn't speaking the right language. The rewritten resume opened doors I didn't even know existed."

*Examples of how AI-powered Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) function

Skima AI
Algorithms extract structured data from unstructured resumes (for example - key skills, contact information, job titles, and work history). Skima analyzes context, inferred skills, progression patterns, and keyword presence to evaluate candidate suitability. If a resume lacks the expected structure, relevant keywords, or follows nonstandard formatting, it may not be ranked highly or may be excluded from shortlists.

Manatal
Manatal’s AI systems parse resumes, extract key information, & then apply keyword & Boolean searches, & candidate scoring, based on job requirements. The software assigns match scores & ranks applicants, prioritizing those who most closely align with desired skills, job experience, & education level. So, poorly optimized resumes...those missing required keywords, formatted irregularly, or unaligned with the job description face a higher chance of early elimination before human review.
