I asked this question on LinkedIn and got excellent answers. Here’s one I wanted to share with you:
Me:
What is the worst challenge job seekers face today? (see other answers here)
As a recruiter for the automotive sales industry here are some things that take people off the list:
a cover letter for another industrya resume with no effort to show skill that would be relevant to mea horrible phone message when I try to callnot remembering that an application was sent to my companynot knowing one thing about the companydefeated body language before I even invite someone in my office.I am aware how hard it is to get my attention in the avalanche of applicants – but once you have it please be prepared.
I love an applicant who has researched me and my company.
Lots of oopsies here! Great advice from Michal! Lots of stuff to learn from.
Check out #4. How could you not remember that you sent an application to a company?? Oh yeah, you must not be using JibberJobber! Get on it!
Awesome advice! I love LinkedIn Answers… !
