Hey there,

Sorry to hear about this! Stating the abvious..rejections are part of the process, dont' take it personally. Every rejection gets your closer to success. You can only improve & get better. I totally understand the frustration though.

Your CV made it through McK last year, so you clearly have it. You are right that COVID has made the situation very challenging for people, but am slightly surprised that you are not getting any traction in other places. Have you diagnosed what could be wrong- is your CV boiler plate/not customised for the roles, you are not applying through referrals, your skills and the roles don't particularly match?!

Am not clear on your current employment situation, but if you are under pressure, go back to previous employer and take your time to try again. You can't lose hope or give up. Just keep moving forward step by step and keep doing your best.

Feel free to message me for an informal chat to get deeper in your background and discuss some ideas on what could you do differently.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear :/ It is indeed quite competitive at the moment.

There are a few things you can do.

1) Gain consulting-based experience (internships, bootcamps, classes, stratups, extracirriculars, etc).. The Central Bank experience really isn't a bad move at all in the scheme of things! Note, it won't be viewed as favorably as other jobs, but it's of course a fantastic job to have!

2) Network - speak to multiple people across offices and aim to get a referral. Networking is super super important.

3) Review your resume - make sure your formatting is sharp/consistent, key words/experiences pop, and your experience bullets are properly written.

Hi, I confirm it is a good experience. I would consider also other tier1&2. They are great place to work for

Sorry to hear that, but you're right, the pandemic reduced the number of hires and it comes difficult for candidates to get to the interview.

That's why I strongly recommend you to find a coach to discuss your current situation, future plans, and he could use his network to get you a referral.

As for Central Bank experience, it would depend on many factors, e.g. your position, period of work etc.

Does that make sense to you?
