<How To Stop Playing Resume Roulette>

Today, an average of 250 resumes or applications are received for each job posted. With ultimately only 4 to 6 people typically asked to interview for a job, simple math shows that this is not an easy game to win. one job seeker out of 50 will be invited to interview, and only one in 250 may receive a job offer.

Your chance of winning with a red-or-black bet in roulette or correctly choosing the outcome in a heads-or-tails coin flip, remains 50/50, no matter how many times you spin the wheel or flip the coin, assuming no other variables change. Playing resume roulette – submitting the same resume over-and-over, hoping for a different outcome – doesn’t improve the odds either. In fact, doing the same thing over and over again, hoping for a different result, is the classic definition of insanity.
