7 common mistakes when finding a job and how to fix it effectively

HUYỀN TRANG (NGUỒN Fast Company) |

Many people fail to find a job not because of lack of capacity, but because of small mistakes. Here are 7 common mistakes and how to fix them.

1. Admission applications are rampant

Submitting to all kinds of jobs seems like a positive thing, but in reality it is not effective. Instead, choose positions that you are truly suitable for (at least 70 - 80% of the requirements), then invest time preparing carefully.

2. Use a CV for everyone

Each job has its own requirements, so it is necessary to customize the resume to reflect skills and experience in accordance with the specific job description. This helps employers see your suitability for that position. Reversal

3. Only list the work, no results

Instead of just listing tasks, emphasize specific results you have achieved, such as increasing revenue by how much or managing how many successful projects. This shows the value you bring to the company or the agency.

4. No questions in the interview

Not asking questions can make you look less interested in the position of the candidate.

Prepare some questions about company culture, job expectations or current projects... to show your interest and initiative. Reversal

5. Too important a title

The job title sounds grand but is not necessarily suitable for you. The important thing is the content of work and the opportunity to learn and develop.

6. Long-line or sketchy CV

The CV should be clear and concise (1 - 2 pages), avoid confusing presentations. Focus on the most relevant strengths.

7. Letter of application for a job

The job application should be adjusted for each specific position, avoiding using a general model. Clearly state why you care about work and the company, as well as how your skills match the job requirements. Reversal
