How long has it been since the last time you’ve sent your job application off to a recruiting company or an employer? Are you wondering why they haven’t contacted you yet for a job interview?

Don’t despair. You might just be missing an important key point in your job search strategy that others are taking advantage of!

Recruiters can be very picky during the hiring process, therefore, ask yourself, “How confident am I with my resume and cover letter?” Sadly, even simple mistakes such as a typo or grammatical error can cost you a job interview. The second question you need to ask yourself is, “Am I 100% sure that my resume and cover letter will successfully be sorted and scanned by the infamous Applicant Tracking System?”

Remember, you only have one chance to make a first impression therefore, don’t forget the last step before hitting that “send” button on your computer! Proofread your resume and cover letter!

Are you someone who applies for a job on Seek, LinkedIn etc. and never follows up on it? You might get an unsuccessful email and think.... which job was that for? Well, this lazy habit needs to stop. Today!
