4. Applying for Every Job:
Apply only for positions for which you’re qualified. It’s frustrating for hiring managers to screen applications from candidates who don’t meet the minimum qualifications. You want your name to be recognized as a quality applicant and not because screeners have read it a hundred times.
5. Typing “See Attached”:
We know it is time-consuming to answer every question completely. However, doing so makes it easy for a hiring manager to select you for an interview. If it is difficult to see your qualifications, then it becomes more difficult to screen your application. The result is that you would be less likely to be selected for an interview.
6. Not Completing the Application:
An application must be complete and up-to-date to move forward. Include all supporting documents and references as directed. An incomplete application goes nowhere.
