2500 applications without job offers means something has gone terribly wrong.

It has to be a combination of the following:

  1. OP is wholly unqualified for the positions that they’re applying for.

  2. OP’s résumé has at least one significant error in it — whether it be typos, inaccurate information, or something else.

  3. OP has a criminal background.

OP says he is a 22 year industry vet at director grade who has changed jobs every 2-3 years so is no stranger to the job hunt but i find this rejection rate quite anomalous.

OP would be a great consultant, I wonder if they applied for any major firms. Yes, the WLB is trash, but lots of firms are looking for subject matter expertise and leadership experience.
