It is daunting not to see the results of your efforts when seeking a new job. It is even more frustrating when you progress through the interview stages, and still not offered the position. However, after several close calls, or no calls at all, you must conduct a job search reflection to evaluate your application materials and overall interview preparation and conduct. To launch your thinking, you must first identify the roadblock that best matches your situation.

1. I apply to jobs all the time, but they never call me to set up an interview.

2. I had a phone interview, but they never followed up with me about the next steps.

3. I thought that the in-person interview went great, but they chose someone else.

In the blog below, you will learn more in detail about how to combat these typical roadblocks to get the job that you desire. Answer each set of questions to guide your thinking and reflection.
