Like most job seekers, you’ve no doubt applied to job listings on the major career boards like Monster, CareerBuilder and HotJobs. In doing so, you’ve likely seen little or no response to some applications although you keep seeing that same job every time you log in.

It’s frustrating as a job seeker to see the same job over and over, knowing you’ve applied and are qualified for the job but haven’t been contacted. Why does this happen? Are they looking for the “perfect” candidate?

No.

Chances are they aren’t even really looking for a candidate.
