Ever been rejected for a job, even before an interview? You’re not alone. To get over your job search woes and get noticed by recruiters, follow these tips.

• Don’t fixate on just one job opening. Instead, understand that job searching is a numbers game.
• Not all job descriptions are an accurate representation of the role. Be careful about how you interpret them.
• Don’t just rely on online job portals. Look for ways to verify if an opening is actually available.
• Avoid sending out generic or similar resumes to every recruiter. Customize them for the role and the company.
• Finally, write a cover letter. Always.
