I feel like I’m doing everything right, but my applications are getting lost in the crowd. I have a background in graphic design, a strong portfolio, and even freelance experience, but companies don’t seem interested. I apply to jobs where I meet all the requirements, but I rarely get a response. How do I stand out when there are hundreds of other applicants?

It’s tough right now, especially in creative fields where competition is insane. Have you tried personalizing your applications beyond just your resume? A strong, tailored cover letter can help highlight your personality and why you're a great fit. Also, do you follow up after applying? Sometimes a quick LinkedIn message to the recruiter can make a difference.

I usually don’t follow up because I assume they’ll contact me if they’re interested. And I do write cover letters sometimes, but it takes so long that I can’t do it for every job. Maybe that’s where I’m losing opportunities?

Definitely! Writing personalized cover letters can help you stand out, but I know it’s time-consuming. That’s why I started using an automatic cover letter generator, and it made a huge difference. It quickly creates unique, well-structured cover letters tailored to each job. I used AI Cover Letter Generator, and within a few weeks, I finally started getting interviews. It’s a game-changer if you’re applying to a lot of jobs and need strong applications without spending hours writing. You should check it out!
