Have you ever applied for a job hoping you would have the necessary qualifications but couldn’t get the job? This may be due to one of the following errors:
“Read this and pass it on to others”
1. Not specifying the position you want on your resume. Many people apply for jobs using the same raw resume they used to get their previous job. Some also forget to specify the position they are actually applying for on their resume. Be careful about this the next time you apply for a job.
2. Not distinguish yourself from other applicants: Lots of people apply for the job you apply for. How do you make yourself different from them? Always put expert touches to your documents (cover letters and resume) Also print it on high quality papers.
3. Not knowing anything about the position (Company) Is it discouraging that during interviews, most people show that they don’t know much about the job they want to get? Who would hire someone like that? Before going to the interview, read everything you can find about the job you want to get.
4. Don’t drop a thank you note – Do you know that many Nigerians don’t know anything about “thank you notes”? This simple idea can connect you even with amazing jobs in Nigeria.
Start right now to examine yourself and take note of all these errors the next time you apply for a job. I wish you success.
