7 reasons why you do not find work
So, you have made an excellent resume, you have all the skills, knowledge and experience to get an excellent job - you have become an employer's dream! So, why have you been looking for a job for a year now, and the prospect of finding it is becoming increasingly blurry?
Here are seven reasons why you can’t find a job:
1. You do not do a job search!
Many people are afraid to be too drawn into the search process. They do not see the game of numbers behind the job search process. Interviews are numbers too. The more you go to them, the higher the chance for you to call back, the more often they call you back, the higher the chance that you will finally find a job.
2. You do not have a system or matrix for job search.
The system should contain everything: from setting goals according to the rules of conduct for an interview. The more you automate routine work, the more you can concentrate on preparation. I'm starting to prepare for the interview 2 weeks before. But in general, the preparation process is going on automatically with me and it is the same all the time.

3. You have an unrealistic idea of the price of your skills.
People tend to be frivolous about finding a job because of improper self-esteem. When the search process lasts longer than you expected, frustration appears and hopes disappear. Be honest with yourself.
4. You do not notice the emotional stress that accompanies the change of work.
Leaving aside this important factor, the fear of rejection begins to strongly influence your actions. How many people you know mix activity and productivity? I see it every time I see professionals looking for work: they are active in the search, but productivity leaves much to be desired.
5. You are not well prepared for the interview.
Many people feel insecure, or, on the contrary, behave arrogantly in interviews. This is simply because they are not ready to present themselves to others. And, after all, you can practice on other people and get feedback.
6. You do not sell yourself.
How trivial it may sound, but most job seekers do not sell themselves. People neglect everything, starting with clothes and ending with interest in work.
7. You speak badly about your former employer.
Many job seekers quite selfishly speak of the reasons for leaving a previous job. If you think that in criticizing your current or past employer, your new employer will want to eliminate the shortcomings you named, you are wrong.
