Dallas-based recruiter Jalonni Weaver applied to her current role nine times before landing it on her 10th application. Weaver, a 30-year-old recruiter at a large telecommunications company, applied to seemingly identical recruiter positions at the company nine times without receiving an interview. She kept applying and adding skills she was picking up in her previous job while applying for the new ones. Weaver's experience with high-volume corporate and tech recruiting helped her land the job. She may not know what made the difference the 10th time around, but believes her current work aligns with her prior experience. Technical and executive headhunter Nicole Kaiser discouraged candidates from applying to multiple roles that don't have much overlap.
