Realistic Aspirations
Start with realistic aspirations, go job hunting with real world expectations or you could end up disappointed in the process. Focus on your job search and career goal, minimize paying attention to anything that takes you away from your search for a dream job and do the things that take you closer to your goals. Determine more effective ways to grab the company recruiter’s attention and ultimately impress them enough to offer you the job.
Preconceived Notions
Steer clear of certain preconceived notions, one of which is making it past the automated ATS (Applicant Tracking System), only a very small percentage of the applicants are able to do so. Getting an immediate response or any response at all for every job application you send across is unrealistic. Finding a job is challenging work so you need to put the extra time and effort into your application for the job, your cover letter and your resume all should be perfectly tailored for each job otherwise the hiring manager is more likely to move on to the next available applicant. Your experience and qualifications for the job you seek should match the job requirements as closely as possible. Your passion for the job is infectious but is certainly not enough to get you hired. Last but not the least things do not happen on their on, you have to make them happen in your arduous job search, think and devise better ways of getting noticed, and interviewed so you can land the prized job you deserve.
