10 harmful tips for job seekers

In my work as a recruiter, which I have been working on for almost 10 years, I often have to meet applicants whose candidacies are withdrawn from consideration because they make gross errors in the negotiation process. Of course, we are not talking about top managers and experts at the level of an expert, after all, as a rule, they have earned their reputation in the process of building their career, they have the necessary connections and are in demand in the modern labor market so that they are no longer required to look for work. They always have several offers on work.

In this article I suggest in the format of harmful tips to discuss the mistakes made in the process of job search by job seekers at the level of specialists.

Do not send a resume

When you see a vacancy that meets your expectations, you do not need to send a resume. Urgent call on the phone indicated in the announcement and ask questions about the amount of wages, the availability of an extended social package and the amount of fuel compensation. If the answers satisfy you, then insist on solving all the questions without a resume, because it is not necessary, becauseyou will come and tell yourself all about yourself.

Do not specify a position

If you send a resume for an interest you are interested in, do not write about what vacancy you are applying for, or simply indicate that you are looking for a job in accordance with your experience and interests. Let HR-manager for you decide that you are interested, he has a lot of free time, and therefore he will solve this task with dignity and pleasure.

Demand meetings with the director

If, after reviewing your resume, you were invited for an interview and offered to fill out a questionnaire, I recommend that you necessarily share your opinion that this questionnaire is a sign of bureaucracy in this company and not too high level of intellectual development of its management. Alternatively, you can unequivocally let the HR manager know that you are offended by the need to pass an initial interview with him, and that you are ready to communicate only with the manager, in whose staff the specialist is required.

Dress for a home

When you are invited for an interview, it is not necessary to follow the dress code, because you are not working there yet, and therefore it is better to come for an interview right away from a summer residence or a prolonged banquet. A 100% result will be provided if you refuse to take off your outer clothing and hat at an interview, any company dreams of getting a specialist out of staff ignoring the rules of good taste.

Bring an interview

In the process of coordinating interviews, it is not necessary to warn the HR manager about the delay or postponement of the meeting time, because you consider yourself a valuable specialist, and therefore let the whole world wait.

Indicate irrelevant contact data

In the resume and the questionnaire, you should specify only those phone numbers that you use occasionally or plan to change in the near future.

Tell us all about the past place of work

Do not forget to tell about how incompetent your leader was at the previous place of work at the interview and how difficult it was to work in a team of gossips and careerists. This story about the scandal-intrigue-investigation will reveal in you a loyal and diplomatic potential future employee.

Mention a mortgage, a loan and sick relatives

When asked about how you value the value of your work, tell us about your loan, mortgage and car loan. The employer will appreciate this much higher than your assessment of the level of development of professional and personal competencies.

Call HR-manager

daily

In the final part of the interview, it is not necessary to agree on the time of reception and the feedback format, it is better to call every day and ask about when you start working.

Make your spouse work and rest

I finish the list of tips with an old anecdote.

In the divorce proceedings, the husband as a cause of divorce indicates the tediousness of his wife. The judge asks to explain what it is. The husband asks the judge: "Mr. Judge, can the family live on one salary?".The judge replies: "I believe that the family can live for one salary".Inspired by the judge's answer, the husband says: "There! I also think so, and this bore every day asks me when I will find a job! ".

I hope that harmful tips will help you avoid mistakes in the process of job search, get a treasured job offer and grow up to the level of an expert or a top manager.
