At first, it might feel overwhelming to tailor every resume you send out to prospective employers. The temptation to repeatedly send the same generic profile is strong. You may even shy away from writing personalized cover letters. Now, with AI tools generating preselection questions, the recruitment process can feel increasingly impersonal and frustrating.

But if a job posting excites you, why not change your approach? Take the time to research the company and learn about their recent updates or achievements. Dedicate an hour to refining your resume, ensuring it highlights the skills and experiences most relevant to the job description. Thoughtfully complete any preselection steps, even if they seem tedious.

Yes, you might still face rejection, but each attempt is an opportunity to improve. These efforts teach you how to navigate the early stages of the recruitment process more effectively. Over time, as you embrace the process and refine your applications, you’ll increase your chances of landing that all-important interview.
