You wonder what you are doing wrong but just can’t seem to figure it out. The chances are that you are so desperate for work that you have become a robot & quickly zap your CV off to every job that you see adding no personality to your application. See it from the point of view of the recruiter. They post a job & receive a substantial amount of applicants. A lot of those applicants are going to have a great CV, application letter & their online resume is completely filled out & up to date. Now imagine receiving an application from someone who doesn’t send their CV, a one lined sentence as their application or from what I have received before, simply -“job” – in the email body (No CV attached!). Would you hire that guy?
Job seeker competition has risen substantially over the last few years & at the same time there are still a lot of jobs out there. If you want to stay ahead of the pack & really want that job you will need to put in a lot more effort.Due to social networking a new trend is starting where job seekers will reply to a wall post by submitting their email address or saying -“I’m interested”- in reply to a recruiter sharing a job post onto their group. Many times you will notice that these wall posts go uncommented by the original poster. If the job seeker can’t click though on the job link how computer literate can they be?Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/6497281
