Common Mistakes Made By Job Seekers

Mistakes will happen, even for a perfect person. Mistakes are the stepping stones to success. It will help to

improve a person eventually. But when looking for a job you can’t afford to make mistakes, especially when you

actually need that job. There are some common mistakes made by the jobseekers.

Not following up: Never assume that simply applying for a job is enough. Employers get a record number of

applications due to the presence of media and resources. Making contact with the employer through telephone,

email, or personal meeting shows your genuine interest in the job available.

Lying about a past job if you left on bad terms: The experienced employers seem to have a sixth sense to identify

these lies. It is better to show you've learned something from the experience than trying to cover up a bitter

relationship.

Using buzz-words to explain your strengths: They are confusing. Try to balance friendliness with professionalism

when writing your resume or cover letter. Find a traditional way of phrasing your strengths. Another thing is to

avoid words that are too logistic and lack spark. You should keep these same rules in mind when writing cover

letters also.

Not including a covering letter: A personalized covering letter helps you use the same resume to apply for

different job roles. Make sure that the covering letter addresses to the role you’re applying for, and what makes

you suitable for the job you’re applying for.

Strive to achieve a balance of professionalism and ease of reading and friendliness when you write. Try to focus on

appropriate tone, because the right tone will get you better results. There are many more mistakes people make

when searching for a job or attending an interview meeting. Eating during an interview or making crude jokes

about someone's race or gender is some of worst mistakes. There are many other simple errors often happened

unwarily. Make sure that you discuss with your peers on their bad experiences, so you can learn from them.
