8 Job-seeker Mistakes

Even an experienced job seeker is certain to make mistakes in some aspect of job searching.

In today’s competitive job market even the

slightest mistakes are going to cost you your

dream job.

Watch out for the deadly mistakes!

What You Want And What You Are Actually Worth

It is important that you determine your value during the initial stages of your job search because demanding for high or low amount of money will have you eliminated

easily.

I Need A Break Occasional breaks never

hurt, but allowing yourself lengthy breaks every single time you progress is not good.

Sending Resumes Blindly Forwarding resumes blindly is not going to fetch you

any result or response.

Incompetent Networking

Have a goal in mind. Listen more than talk

Quality vs. Quantity

It’s not about how many CVs you sent but whom you sent to. Only deliver to those you have interest with and not to anyone that you

come across.

Help Me Please! You are not alone. Failure to ask

for help will prolong that agony of not having a job. People around

you are your best asset.

Negativity - Blaming Others It is useless to blame others or the economy for your unemployment. If you aren’t sure of your mistake, seek help from a professional.

Being Arrogant

If you have followed the above-mentioned tips and have landed an interview,

there is one thing you should remember during

this stage; don’t be arrogant. Let the employer

know clearly and firmly that you want the job. This

will help you score high because employers tend to

prefer those candidates who genuinely want

the job.

As much as you don’t believe in yourself, don’t be disheartened.

We believe in you!
