National Events Manager
Been job hunting for 6mths. Have applied for jobs I was qualified for, and not getting any traction. I’d make initial interviews, but fail at the 2nd stage.
Job descriptions in the ads match exactly my skillset, yet no luck. I must interview poorly in person I guess…? Most of the roles I’ve applied for have had over 100+ applicants also apply so competition is extremely high. It’s getting frustrating. Am I the only one?

Definitely not the only one and getting interviews is a good sign you must be pretty close so keep trying.
When things are competitive I try to think about what's going to make me stand out from others with similar skills. Doing a bit of research before can help you drop a few tidbits in the interview that show you've taken a real interest in them. Worth a shot maybe?
