Struggling with Online Job Applications: How Can I Improve My Chances of Getting Noticed?

Hello Seniors,

There is a good chance that I may be in the wrong place with this question, but I feel HR professionals are the best to answer this. I keep applying to hundreds of companies every week through their career sections using the online application process. However, I hardly receive any responses. Is there a specific way the online application process can be optimized, or is it just a skill mismatch? I read somewhere that applications/emails sent in the morning are given more importance because they appear at the top of their stack. Any advice?

Dear,

A lot of candidates apply online, and it's very difficult to get noticed for a respective job. I was working in DTH; every day, I used to receive more than 100 emails through online websites. We never click on emails if we don't have a vacancy. They get loaded, and we save them in our databank. When a vacancy arises, we search for the latest resumes and then call shortlisted candidates. It's entirely a matter of luck if your resume gets noticed. Secondly, fresher or lower-level vacancies will take time. If you are not an MBA, then it is really difficult to get shortlisted through online applications. Some company websites are programmed to separate the resumes of MBAs and non-MBAs. When a vacancy arises, they will ignore non-MBAs.

But don't worry, keep trying hard. They don't want geniuses; they want hardworking and smart individuals.
