5 USUAL MISTAKES OF THE JOB SEARCH

It's easy to make a mistake in the high-stress situation of looking for a job. With little care however, the most common mistakes of the job search can be prevented. Here are the 5 usual mistakes that many job seekers make.

1.Not going directly to the employers
Target the companies or organizations you want to work for, study their websites, and contact them directly about your interest.


2.Falling into the "tell me about yourself" trap.

If the first question an interviewer asks is "Tell me about yourself," don't do it. What the interviewer is really asking is "Why are you here and what do you want?" That's the question you should answer.


3.Talking too much during an interview.

When you find yourself talking, talking, talking, take a deep breath. The more you talk, the less your interviewer is likely to listen. Give every answer a beginning, middle, and end, and then stop talking.

4.Discussing money too early in the interview process.

When asked for your salary expectations, say, "Well, it really depends on the specific scope and responsibilities of the position, Perhaps we could discuss this later on in the process when I have more information."


5.Improper information to your references

Give them specific examples of your accomplishments and strengths so that they are well prepared.

All the Best !!
