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.

You are very true, OP. Many people do not actually know that what makes them lose jobs sometimes is not something that has to do with the job itself but some unrelated things like lateness to interview, not maintaining proper conduct during the interview and a lot of other things like that. Care must be given to these areas.

One of the most common career mistakes is focusing on compensation alone. When choosing a job or career, there is more to consider besides just salary and perks. Many people overlook other aspects of a job like office environment, growth opportunities, quality of life and compatibility with your manager.

The moving part of a post-interview thank you note is that it's a small reflection on the side of the interviewee on the conversation, what stuck and how they see themselves fitting into the role and team after taking everything in. Actually demonstrating that level of engaged listening means a lot of personalization

the first one to talk about Lucy being late to an interview you have to be punctual well-dressed I mean smartly-dressed and then your CV should be intact and correct for you to have a very good opportunity and a good posting company.

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” The truth is this: If you aren’t making career mistakes, you aren’t trying. And if you’re not trying, you’re not succeeding. Because we’re all human, professional mistakes are common. What is less common is actually learning from those errors. Here are five of the most common career mistakes and what you can do to avoid them.

A big turn off and alot of HR use late coming as the very first basis for disqualification. I can never understand any reason why a person should appear late for an interview. It's better not showing up at all than showing up late

Sometimes, I am really not a time concious person until my first interview after school then, I got there twenty minutes late and the door was already locked! I waited for more than two hours only for a delivery guy to come and call someone to get the door, when the lady came she said the interview was over, lol.

Concerning common mistakes that costs job opportunities. The listed point is very Paramount and has been the reason it cost people their jobs, an individual needs to be punctual in his duty, if one is punctual it shows the level of commitment. Indecent appearance to your place of work too can cost people off their job

Not paying close attention to the interviewer and the questions asked.
The interview is a conversation, not an exam or a test, and you are not a student anymore. The interviewer has to evaluate your skills and experience, but also your overall personality as a potential employee that will be collaborating with other members of the organisation.

Absolutely, when someone went there after interview call, he may be more confident or low confident person that both things lead him to failure. Even they can't defend there scores or resume, similarly CV. This thing costs mostly.

There are so many factors that could cause one losing job opportunities; these factors are

* Lying to your employee

Once

one of the mistake that cost job opportunities is the fact that most people especially those that graduated with a good result from tertiary institution relied on their results rather than try to build themselves intellectually and a quire some important skills

All you have said is very apt and I totally agree with you, another mistake often made by job seekers is putting what they cant defend on their resume. Now, during interview section questions are asked on such information printed on the CV but unfortunately, candidate is unable to answer which is a shame and could be detrimental

Everyone makes mistakes, particularly early on in their career. But there are mistakes (like forgetting someone’s name or accidentally making an off-color joke to the boss) and there are mistakes. The latter ones can wreck your reputation and do lasting damage.

But some poor career choices can have a silver lining: “Mistakes are good if you can learn from them,” says career coach Kim Carbia. “But when a mistake becomes a habit, it becomes a problem.”

In Brazil, one commonly considered mistake is to fill a long curriculum. Employers find exhausting to read a curriculum more than 2 pages long. The ideal is an only one page curriculum. 2 pages is accepted too, but when they see the third, they leave behind those papers. Superfluous or redundant informations are to be avoided.

 

[Emma Aneni]

I do not know nor can I think of any good reasons why a candidate will have a wrong information of them represented on their resume and they cannot defend it when interview arrives nor can they even show competence if they're offered the job.

 

[KvngMurphy]

Mailing unsolicited resumes (CV) is a common mistake that cause people job opportunities.Unsolicited resumes are considered garbage, scrap paper and wasted effort. Secretaries kill them, HR managers file them away, and hiring decision-makers pitch them. I advocate abandoning this job search tactic completely.
