I recently joined Michelle Mudge-Riley on her free webinar to talk about mistakes that will derail a job search. We listed the major ones that we have witnessed and took questions from the audience.
Here are some of the Mistakes That Will Derail a Job Search that we discussed.
#1 – Tunnel vision and not keeping an open mind
#2 – Being intimidated by a job description
#3 – Preparing a CV rather than a resume
#4 – Using the same cover letter and resume for different jobs or different industries
#5 – Depending too much on electronic applications and not leveraging networks
#6 – Not learning the jargon of the field we’re pursuing
#7 – Not taking the interview seriously
#8 – Not preparing sufficiently
There are important issues at each step. But don’t get overwhelmed.
