The Application Graveyard: Why 97% of Candidates Never Make it Out
47 Applications. 4 Rejections. 43 Ghosts.
Feeling stuck in your remote job hunt? You’re definitely not alone. It’s brutal out there.
The harsh truth is that most great resumes end up in the resume graveyard because they fail the 6-Second Test. Recruiters spend just six seconds scanning your application.
In that critical time, they look for three things:
Remote Proof: Can you work effectively remotely?
Job Title Match: Does your experience align with the role?
Summary Clarity: Is it instantly clear why you’re a great fit?
Miss any of these, and you’re likely to be ghosted.
