I keep getting interest from employers saying they've found my CV which includes big corporations, government and police but once I have the telephone interview I'm told they're not going to progress to a face-to-face. I'm not sure whether just to keep applying for jobs or I should work out exactly what I'm doing wrong...

Keep applying, work it out in the mean time.

I'm just getting a bit worried that at some point agencies will see I've been turned down a lot and won't waste their time putting me forward for jobs.

Is it ok to apply for job X but when asked where I see my career path going, say I'd like to work in job X for a couple of years at which time I'll have completed some studying at which point I'll move into job Y (which is in the same industry, a role offered by that company but I'm not qualified for)? I thought it was quite reasonable to say this as many people might say they'd like to be a manager in a couple of years time.

Yet a couple of weeks later I was told I wasn't successful and the main reason was because I was more interested in doing job Y.

Am I supposed to say I want to get job X and that'll do me until retirement?
