Yes, depressing.... I've counted all the CV's on my outbox and I have already sent more that 300 applications and still no reply.
Well, I am somehow exagerrating... about 20 replied with a quick "Do you speak Cantonese" or "How much is your expected salary" and after telling them that I got zero Canto-skills and salary is negotiable (or not the main issue or sometimes I quote whatever amount) I never heard back again from them.
So, please enlighten me, I am losing hope. What should I do? Any other tips on finding a job? Or just share your success story on nabbing your precious job. I need inspiration or just for me to feel a little bit positive during this gloomy weather while my wallet is being drained.
I even sent my CVs to recruitment agencies and ask my friends if they know if anyone hiring. Obviously, my CV is not that bad as some companies are somehow interested but where am I going wrong. Is it me or the unemployment situation is STILL really BAD.
Just a little personal background.... in case you want to refer me...:-)
I have been in HK for more than 10 years, HK Permanent Resident, 10 years customer service, sales & marketing, middle management experience with expat-geared companies. Good references, solid health, beauty, spa industry experience. I am ok with any admin, personal assistant, sales, client relation, business development opportunities in any industry.
How about you? How many CVs did you send before landing a job?
