Keep being rejected
- writing this post on my phone, apologies beforehand!
For the past couple of months I have been trying to land a role within the civil service, particularly as an analyst.
I put so much effort into the applications - use Claude to help, I do not do a copy and paste job.
I also use the job description to match my skills and achievements. However, I just keep getting rejected, not a single interview.
For context: I am a high school teacher (computer science coordinator to be exact), and I am looking to get out of the classroom, I want flexibility. I have a few achievements during my career, eg. Highest pass rates in school history (from 32% to 80%), increased female intake, provided AI staff training, built the computer silence curriculum from scratch.
I have also built a couple of (4) analytical projects on GitHub using Google Colab and Power Bi.
If someone could please share any tips and tricks on how to land an interview or just be brutally honest and let me know if I’m wasting my time as I only have education experience, or even suggestions on which other roles in the civil service would be better suited for me.
