Things to Avoid When Searching for Jobs
2
Improper and overfilled resumes
Improper resumes or resume that are unsolicited
are considered wasted efforts. All the resumes
that are targeted to an open position usually get
rejected by the Applicant Tracking Software
(ATS). It is mandatory to create a resume that
specifically focus on the job opening.
3
Applying to many jobs at one go
There is very little difference between being
curious to get a job and being over-curious. It
is advisable to stick to your weekly limit.
Rather than calling, emailing, or trying to
connect with the recruiter multiple times every
day, limit yourself to three to four contacts
weekly. You can choose the companies you want to
communicate with, but it is advisable to stick to
your limit. If you get a response where they say
they will contact you soon, it is sensible to
keep looking for other options.a

Research about the companies before applying
When searching for a job, many job seekers end up
applying for numerous random companies and miss
checking out the reviews, work cultures, and
workforce wellness practiced in that
organization. It is advisable to check and
self-analyze whether you want to work for that
company and whether you are a suitable employee
for them. Most potential applicants end up
applying for the wrong companies and waste their
time and efforts.
5
Being well prepared for the interviews
A job seeker is expected to receive around 10 to
15 interview calls, and they tend to get biased
about some organizations and put efforts to get
selected only for those companies. It is
advisable to pay attention to every interview and
try to crack as many interviews as possible so
that you can choose among the best options
available to you.

• Polite follow-ups with the recruiters

Sometimes job seekers fail to get the job because
they dont show a keen interest in knowing the
reviews of the interviewer. There is a strong
chance that the recruiters shortlist more than
one candidate and choose them based on their
efforts. If you attend an interview, you must
politely follow up with the recruiter about the
updates on the same.
7
Dont ignore the feedbacks you receive
It is very normal if you don't get selected on
the first try. It would be best to consider all
the recruiters' feedback about your interview and
resume. If they highlight any flaw in the resume
or the qualification or any other thing, you must
try to change it. Igsnoring feedback and being
unteachable would fail you in getting a good job.
8
Maintain your calm and be patient
It might seem insignificant, but the job seekers
often set a time limit for themselves within
which they want to get a job. This happens
because they feel irritated or demotivated by
being unemployed. It is necessary to understand
that good opportunities sometimes take time. It
is wise to keep your calm and dont join any
company that according to you is not suitable.
There is a strong chance that you would end up
quitting your job and have to undergo the same
procedure again.
