    For me? You get an interview if you apply and have even remotely close to the right skill set. My jobs are extremely technical and specialized though. I had one position sit open 10 months before i got an applicant. I see all these posts about people sending out hundreds of applications to get 3 interviews, and im struggling to get an applicatant at all

    I focus on fluid dynamics and heat transfer in jet engines.

      thats very specific, and im betting people are applying to anything remotely similar to thier fields, just to get a job interview, because thier previous net wasnt wide enough.

      lol that is very specific and I can imagine it’s hard to be qualified for. I’m just out for basic IT. I can sys admin, or work the help desk. I’ve got an A+ and Network+ certificate and a decade of customer service experience on top of a management degree. It just isn’t enough without a least two years of experience it seems.
