I have applied and applied over and over again from gas stations to major companys. And each time i get an answer back im told i'm either not qualified or under qualified. What am i doing wrong? I write a seperate cover letter for each job i apply for. Then fill out an application if necessary and send my resume'. Most of these places i apply for i dont even hear back from them.
