Why you can't get a job
')
During the job search you need to do a lot of work and avoid erroneous steps that can negate all your efforts, despite the excellent qualifications and skills. Experts advise to avoid the following.
Non-professional email address
An address like milashka@gmail.com may seem extremely ingenious to you and your friends, but hardly to a hiring manager. He may simply not have enough sense of humor, and your chances will go to zero. It is better to use your first and last name and, if necessary, numbers.
Bad phone manners
The same goes for the greeting on your answering machine. You just need to say that at this moment you are inaccessible: it is not necessary to say that you are hanging out in a club or cutting into cards. Why give a reason to immediately reject your candidacy? Do not do this.
Spelling errors in the letter
Although Microsoft Word has a spell checker, it doesn’t know how to check what you mean. If you write "would like to surprise" or "would like to strangle", then Word will not correct you, at least he did not correct me when I wrote this article.
Neglect of thank you letter after interview
Such a letter shows your appreciation for the possibility of an interview (approx. Translator: interview) and gives you an additional chance to highlight your strengths. Neglect of such an opportunity deprives you of such a chance and does not characterize you as a professional.
Inappropriate clothing
If you're going to an interview at a bank, dress like a banker. Forget T-shirts, shorts and sandals. If you have any doubts about how to dress, try to dress more conservatively (comment perev .: conservatively - these are shoes, a suit, a shirt, and optionally a tie).
Neglect of achievements
You should not just list your responsibilities in the summary: highlight your achievements and give them quantitative indicators. For example, it is not necessary to write "I wrote a program in luisama" - write "I developed and launched a system that reduces operating expenses or increases sales by XX percent."
Being late
If you're late for an interview, call waiting for you. This will allow them to continue doing other things until you arrive. The worst thing you can do is just to come late: it gives away rudeness and unprofessionalism and can drastically reduce your chances.
Gossip
No matter how much you would like, even if the interviewer asks for it, you should not throw mud at your former employer, colleagues or boss.
Termination of contact expansion
If you are looking for a job, do not be alone. Think of other people who could help, such as former colleagues, suppliers, or fellow students at a university or college. If you stop developing your contacts, your searches become more difficult and frustrating.
