...not getting called by any company? Could somebody please check my resume and cover letter and tell me why I'm not getting called by any company? My native language is Spanish but I've been taught English all my life. I'm very insecure about writing in English. By now I really think there might be something wrong with the documents because I haven't got called for an interview despite of hundreds of online applications.
