Question

hello, I'm currently a BDR and looking for bdr manager positions, AE, or CSM positions. I'm applying for jobs and not hearing back and the ones I hear back from are denials. anyone have some tips on applying and getting into some interviews?

Accepted Answer

We need a lil more info to be able to help. Is your resume easy to read?

Answer

If you apply and don't follow up, you are wasting your time even applying. The avg job posting gets ~500 applications. Even the BEST applicants are passed over. If you want to be seen, you need to do something more than just apply.

Answer

Find the hiring manager on LinkedIn. Look at people who can connect you and give a warm referral on LinkedIn. Unfortunately, a lot of companies are going to go with the warm referral 9/10 times.

Answer

Did they give any reason for the denial? Was it based upon tenure, experience, etc.?

Answer

How long have you been a BDR, and is there no path for advancement where you work?

Answer

Check the jobs tab

Answer

Copy and paste from the job description and put it in the resume. But ranks, quota %, and awards there.

Answer

It sounds like you're getting rejected based off your resume and not even making it to the first round of interviews. If that's the case, you need to work on your resume. Have someone (or multiple people) look at it and help you beef it up. (Ask people who actually do hiring and know what they're looking for)

Answer

Are you tailoring your resume to the positions you want?

Answer

You’re looking for 3 wildly different positions. Why are you casting such a wide net?

Answer

Apart from your tenure, are you using the same resume everywhere? I would tweak it a bit based on the job role and add some keywords from the job description to increase the chance of getting picked up during resume.

If you are getting rejections before even anyone reaching out, it’s the first step and you need to
improve that.

Answer

As others said, always ask for reasons why they are passing you up. There might be something easily fixed but you just don't catch it.

Answer

For those who sent you the denials do they tell the reasons behind, you could use that simply to strengthen any weak points!!
