Common mistakes that cost jobs opportunities 1

[Trexxxy]

Well I honestly thought you would continue with the points, I guess that isn't the case. A lot of candidates who go for job interview rely on their conventional knowledge of the field basically what they were taught in school. I think people need to fix up on that.

Concerning mistakes that cost people of job opportunities. Well, being late is one of the reason why people or job seekers miss out on the opportunities, lost of concentration or distraction either by pressing your phone or other means, the job seekers mode of dressing and appearance too matters

 

[Erik4150]

Dressing well in a good suit could help your chances in a job interview. Try to smile and answer every question well. Don't say too much but only say what is necessary. If you have never been to an interview before, don't be afraid to ask for tips.

 

[Seun4luv]

Being too narrow in your search. Trusting first impressions. Lacking transparency. Having an unclear hiring policy. Forgetting to highlight culture. Neglecting social media. Falling behind the technology.

There are many things that could affect applicants' chances of getting jobs. One of them is falsification of information on resume. A number of applicants, in an attempt to impress interviewers, lie about information. Some claim to have skills/qualifications they can't defend in real life. Another thing is lack of or inadequate preparation. An applicant is supposed to do a proper research on the organisation they intend to work with. Know as much as you can about them, be equipped because your interviewers would want to test your knowledge of what they do.

There are lots of people who make mistakes and such mistakes cost them their jobs and then make them jobless. Some mistakes happens as results of employers problems while some as a result of employees mistake and others.

There are so many red flags to job opportunities. For instance, a perpetual late comer would not be valued no matter the qualifications or mental ability, if the sole of business (punctuality) is lost. Another is not been secretive. A big mouth would lose his/ her job opportunity

 

[Jonaville1]

Aside from your skills, qualifications and speech, the little things also count. Even a simple act like opening and closing the door is taken into consideration. It is hard to believe but it is true.

One of the biggest mistakes that cost people's job in interviews is going to a job interview without making adequate preparation for the interview.

A job seeker should always endeavor to take a thorough research or study on the job role, the company ethics and rules of the organization they want to interview for, the renumeration that fits the role, this way, it will be easier for them to be chosen for the job.

 

[Ojonuyo]

All you have explained above are all correct and has resulted to the lost of job opportunities by many job seekers out there. Most especially the aspect of more resume. Their resume is not well organized and not attractive. Shabbily drafted, spelling and grammar error. The purpose of their resume can not be understood, therefore they loss their job offer.

Some job seekers come late for some reasons. I think if the job seekers can give plausible reason for this action. The interviewer should be lenient with them. I have concluded interview for people before and fortunately the person that came late was even the best candidate for the job.

Errors on your job application materials

Even though job seekers know that making a mistake on your app materials is one of the biggest no-no's you can make when you're on the job hunt, it's still one of the most common complaints you'll hear from hiring managers.

• Not Following Instructions on the Job Posting or Application Form. ...
• Leaving Fields Blank on the Application. ...
• Turning in the Application Late. ...
• Spelling and Grammatical Errors.

In my country Nigeria a lot of graduate with good resumes and great CV are being denied Jobs some of them don't wear a smile in their face and like you said coming late for interview is definitely a red flag.

In fact, resumes are not entirely the key to qualifying for a job. In my country, multiple applications are received, but the personal interview with the potential employee is what leads to decision-making. Responsibility, presence, and performance are essential to accepting or denying the applicant entry into employment. Therefore, punctuality is recommended at the time of the interview.

You are right, a good resume Will only qualify you to really show case what you have got via an interview, during an interview you must ensure you are able to convince them that you are the right man for the job

You are right, a good resume Will only qualify you to really show case what you have got via an interview, during an interview you must ensure you are able to convince them that you are the right man for the job

It is correct @Damismiling, in the curriculum they reflect the studies, previous works, personal data, etc. The important thing is how you described it very well "to be able to convince them" with the fluency of the applicant and the defense of him at all times, regarding the job requested and show that you deserve it.

Saying what you are not in your resume (curriculum vitae), your interviewer would go through your resume and some times they ask improtu questions around those things listed in your CV and this might make you to lose the job permanently.

Hard Truth: Your good résumé is never enough to get the job you want.

I've screened résumés (manually & via the ATS) and conducted countless interviews for years and observed that a good number of times, individuals do not match their résumés. This is mostly revealed during the interview process where candidates show up unprepared.
Common mistakes that cost Job Opportunities.

1. Showing up late: This happens even during virtual Interviews. I've experienced candidates show up after almost 30minutes of the scheduled time. That's a red flag.

Another thing that could cost you a job opportunity is being the opposite of what is in your resume. Some people include things that they cant even depend, which the employers can see right through. So don't try to exaggerate yourself than necessary.

Those two things you mentioned boil down to lack of preparation. And it is being said that those failed to plan are planing for a failure. You don't need to wait to be called for an interview before start preparing yourself. Get yourself in activities that will boost yourself confidence like public speaking. Taking time to read books about landing a good jobs. Learn how to create a grate resume. Practising on the past job interview questions and so on. Over time you will build yourself to be the best candidate in any job interview.

I read about most people are lying about their résumés, just to fit on a job they wanted to get even though in reality they have no experience on anything related to the job. It's kind of nice to know the point of views of an interviewer so we know what not to do when applying for a job.

 

[Chris]

that can cost you the job.
Not doing your research. ...
Being late
Not making eye contact. ...
Talking in clichés. ...
Trash talking your previous employer, which is not advisable.
Not asking questions, question can take you places and teach you what you don't know.
