Job search mistakes

  • You put all your contact information on an online resume even though you are still working. Your current employer might do a search on you and find out that you are looking for a job. Make sure that your job search is indiscreet.
  • You don’t customize your resume when sending it out. A form resume is likely to be rejected right away.
  • You are not qualified for a job but send your resume anyway. You are wasting your time and the employers.
  • You only use the big job websites instead of the specialized ones. If you are looking for a particular job, the specialized websites might be the way to go.
  • You only use the internet to look for a job. Even though the internet is wonderful job searching tool it isn’t the only one. Use other things like the newspaper want ads and personal networking too.
