When you’re applying for a job, it is very critical that you apply properly and prepare your resume in the best way possible. Most of the time applicants get rejected and fail to qualify even for the interview because they have not applied properly for the job. Learn from your mistakes and pay attention while applying for a job interview.
2. The worst feeling for anybody searching for a job is
when they fail to get success in their expedition.
Sometimes people apply for jobs (hundreds in some
cases), but fail to get any response from the
companies. Lucky ones sometimes get a get a letter of
rejection or an email, but the majority will simply get
no response from the recruiter.
Even though it seemed like everything went really
well in the interview, still people fail to get a call
from the employer. Some people even fail to get an
interview call for the job they’ve applied. So, what
mistake did you make in your job application because
of which you failed to secure the interview call?
3. Here are the top 8 reasons why you were not
selected for an interview.
Did You Have The Qualifications Required For The
Job? How close your qualifications match the
requirements posted by the recruiter for the job? In
today’s highly competitive world, usually candidates
applying match or even exceed the job requirements.
So, they easily secure interviews.
Did you submit a complete application? Ensure that
all the information required on the job application
should be provided by you.
4. Was your application mistake free? Did you write
proper & correct employment dates? Did you fill the
right salary amount? Have you ensured that you filled
all the necessary information asked by the employer?
Before scheduling interviews, some employers verify
employment history of the candidates, which makes
submitting the right & accurate dates highly essential.
Did you work hardly to prepare your resume? Ensure
that you resume showcase skills and accomplishments
which are related to the job you’re targeting. Explain
clearly that how you added value in your previous
internships, jobs, or any other work?
5. Have you made your resume in a well organised way,
so that the most relevant points can be easily located
by the HR solutions department of your employer’s
company?
Did you write an accurate cover letter which focused
primarily on the requirements of the job you have
applied for? Ensure you make it very clear in the cover
letter that you have the required skills, experience and
knowledge which will help you to perform well on the
job, if selected.
6. Did you submit a cover letter which was long enough
to make a compelling case for you to secure interview
and later the job? Did you made sure that the cover
letter was not so dense that the recruiter wouldn’t
even read it? Keep your letters 3 to 5 paragraphs long,
with each paragraph not more than 8 lines.
Did you make sure that each application document
which you sent to the employers was error free and
well written? Ask others (friends & family members) to
review and proofread your resume and cover letter.
