If you are aggressively looking for a job and yet your job search
is not reaping results, you might be doing something wrong!
Here are a few outdated job hunting techniques which do
not work any longer and are a complete.

#1. OVERDOING APPLICATION
PROCESS
According to Scott Engler, founder of B.Y.O.B. Coaching
& Consulting, about 98% of job seekers are rejected
during the initial resume screening, while only 2% land
an interview. Flooding the job market with your resume
and applying to random jobs is not advisable anymore.
Instead focus only on the relevant job roles and spend
time developing your online presence making it easy
for recruiters to find you.

#2. EXPECTING A LOT
FROM RESUME
Building a detailed resume doesn’t pay off any
longer. You must display your skills & relevant
experience in your resume.
Do not submit an unfocussed or multi-page resume.
Be specific to the role talking about the relevant
projects you might have undertaken, instead.

#3. NOT DOING YOUR
HOMEWORK WELL
Be aware that you have landed the interview opportunity
because your resume was better than the other
applicants. However, don’t let overconfidence take
over and kill the opportunity for you.
Research about the company and job profile in advance,
as not having solid answers to some basic interview
questions like, ‘why do you want to join our organisation?’
can prove to be a deal-breaker.

#4. ‘HOPING FOR THE
BEST’ ATTITUDE!
Recognise that top candidates have an equal say in
hiring process as the recruiters themselves. Hoping
for the best attitude is not recommended anymore;
have a ‘know where you stand’ approach’ instead.
Always exit an interview with the knowledge of
recruiter’s timeline to make the decision and when
& how you can follow-up.
