tried globalwork ai after getting ghosted by 30+ companies
so everyone says the job market is bad right now but i really didnt expect it to be THIS bad. been applying since december for tech roles mostly remote or hybrid. sent out probably 35 apps before i got a single response that wasnt automated
what killed me was the ghosting. not even rejections just nothing. id spend an hour on a cover letter for a specific role and then complete silence. started wondering if my applications were even making it through whatever system companies use
my sister used globalwork ai when she was job hunting last year and kept telling me to try it. i really didnt want to pay for a job search tool but at that point i was out of ideas
first week i wasnt impressed. the interface felt clunky and it kept recommending senior director roles when im clearly mid-level. the job matching part was bad for my field straight up. what changed was when I stopped messing with the matching and just used it to fix my resume keywords - running each application through it and letting it adjust stuff. its not magic but the keyword stuff actually works
things started moving after that. started hearing back from actual humans instead of just automated rejections. have a second round interview lined up and a phone screen this week so idk. its not like everything changed overnight but at least it doesnt feel completely hopeless anymore
not saying globalwork is the only thing that helped. Teal has a free version that does basic keyword stuff so if youre broke id start there. but figuring out the keyword thing was clearly what i was missing
