In most cases, is your friend. But in other cases it can make it harder to achieve what you are trying to do. Let’s take my job search as an example. I sent my simple resume and cover letter to prospective employers. In most cases, I received a confirmation that it had been received or a message stating that the position was filled. It was not what I wanted. By doing some things both before and after sending in my resume, I was able to make it more readable. Let me tell you a bit about what I did.
It is important that today’s job seekers avoid these fatal errors to increase their chances of landing a job. If you’re reading this, you may be looking for work or you might know someone who does. Here are four fatal mistakes you should avoid.
It is possible that job seekers are not experienced enough to create a great resume. Let’s not be shy. Most job seekers don’t know what employers are looking for and how to create a resume or cover note that will reflect what they want. Avoid doing what the majority of job seekers do, which is to try and write an application without expert or experience’s help. You may think that you’re a good writer, but you still need help with writing a job application. You can either hire a professional resume writer or enlist the assistance of a career coach.
2: Failing to recognize their skills. Job seekers make the same mistake over and over again – they don’t highlight their skills or abilities to employers. Why? The problem is that they don’t realize how many talents and skills they possess or find it difficult to put these skills into words. You can search for keywords such as skills in the workplace, job skills or even do a quick online search.
3. Not conducting enough research about the company. Job seekers are more likely to be successful if they do research. Many job hunters make the same mistake when they are first starting out. They do not research the company. It is important to prepare for any difficult questions that may arise during an interview. Check out the website of the company to see their current projects, and learn about company values and missions. You can upload a resume and a cover note on a number of sites. You can upload your CV by logging in to naukri and registering.
Be late for an interview. It is never a good thing to be late for an interview. Being late for an interview is a bad idea. It will be viewed as a lack of professionalism, which can hurt your chances to get the job. First impressions are lasting. Arrive at least 10-15 minutes early and call the employer in advance if you are going to be late.
It can be challenging to find a job, especially if you are a first-time applicant. To increase your chances of landing the job, it is important to know how to best sell yourself and your abilities. You need to have the right tools in order to be successful and beat your competitors.
To make my simple cover letter standout, I researched the company and tried to learn who would interview me. It was often that person who I would work with. I said the usual, “Thanks for considering me as the production dept Assistant” or whatever but added “I am looking forward to working with Mr. Smith.” I know that he is the head of production and it would be a pleasure to work with him. It would be great if Mr. Smith looked like the Mr. Smith from the movie.
