This is a dangerous time – the time when job seekers can turn into wing nuts & make key mistakes. So, how do you avoid tripping over those pesky landmines, you know – your current boss, workmates, & customers – & still carry out an effective job search?Here are some of the risky situations you are going to want to tip toe around so as to not have your job search blow up in your face:andmine #1: Oops, I did it again! Ready, fire, THEN aim that email.You’ve done all the right things: Tailored a cover letter, crafted a killer resume, & found the right contact, Bill Smithers at “The Best Company In The World, Inc.” Now all you have to do is hit Send. So you do, hit send that is.
So far so good. OK, next target. Ms. Jane Topboss at “Dream Company Corporation.” Let’s see…type in email address…browse…attach file…and…send. Oops! I think I sent the Bill Smithers cover letter & resume to Jane Topboss.Avoid this landmine by taking the necessary time & making sure you have reviewed and attached the correct file(s) to the correct email. One sure way to blow up your job search is to get in a hurry & mistakenly send the right email to the wrong person or the wrong email to the right person. Do not send ANY job search-related emails from your current place of work. Send all such email outside of work. Take the necessary time to make sure the right email is going to the right person, THEN hit the send button.Landmine #2: Having potential employers call you at your current workplace-Jennifer Jobseeker had it all figured out.
