Advice for jobseekers these days!

[u/Odd_Funny_6636]

Doesn’t matter how many apps you’ve sent, or how long you’ve been unemployed.. never show desperation. Saying “I really need a job” won’t help, because recruiters don’t care about your situation. At the end of the day, they’re just employees too, paid to fill a role.

What actually matters is this: can you be the solution to the company’s problem? Can you make their work easier, their revenue bigger, their process smoother? That’s the lens they’re looking through.

So yeah, flip the mindset. Stop selling “I need a job.” Start selling “here’s how I can help you.” Even your CV should reflect that — it should scream value, not please hire me asap.

You are so correct. Giving off that desperation almost makes them want to deny you even more.
