Common mistake when hunting job

First mistake when hunting job is did not do self assessment, so that some people apply the application but do not have the requirement as asked by the employer. To avoid this mistake we have to read the job requirement on the advertisement we read. If you are electric engineer, do not apply your application to the bank human resources department except they open the opportunity for all subjects.

Second common mistake is we do not read out job application letter before apply to the HRD of employer. We often or "always" use "copy and paste" method. Confessed or not, I also do this popular method to applying the application faster. To avoid this mistake, always check and re-check again more and more so we have a perfect job application letter to apply. Do not let one or more word or phrase through away and final result is embarrassment cause of we send the application with wrong name of company and address.

Third common mistake is worst of appearance of our letter application completion. For example the closed up picture, make your picture looking good. Looking good doesn't mean only for someone who has good facial as Brad Pitt, but you have to prepare it as good as anyone giving eyes. First sight is the key of your application destiny for next step. So, make your job application letter as should be.

Fourth mistake is do not prepare to answer the question or make interview appointment, usually happened when the application has passed away and the authority person. It's commonly happen when the HR interested with our job qualification wrote on application letter. When the HR called by phone for job interview or just make invitation for job interview appointment. We do not have preparation to answer or make the appointment. So, after applying the job application we should prepare anything. In other word, we have to take responsible of what we are wrote down on job application letter.

Fifth mistake is happened when the job interview. Again, we do not prepare for this session. To avoid this mistake I would like to tell you that you should wear the formally dress when undergo this session. No need wear the expensive one, but just wear the dress as should be. And then, do not forget to prepare to answer the questions properly. Show your professional attitude, and show that you are the person they look for. be confidence but do not be over confidence, just as should be.

So, when we are hunting the job opportunity we should prepare our self as should be, not less or more, just as should be. Make it as clear as possible before applying and then prepare our self for next step. When you show your class to the HR personal, I believe they would call you as their part of team. Good luck.
