So, you put your best foot forward and hope that you can dazzle them with your awesome resume and smashing personality. For some people, this plan goes awry as they just try a little too hard. Remember, you still need to show your true personality because these interviewers are trained to spot a hypocrite from a mile away. So, go from zero to hero by avoiding these many mistakes that a lot of people surprisingly commit: Your resume uses a lot of generic terms: How are you supposed to get hired when you don’t really stand out? You can use the resume of other people as basis, but remember to work on the details. Don’t just get a standard copy and hope it passes with flying colors. Let them see that work you’ve put in and the skills you gained. This means that it’s time for you to get into details. You may not apply for a managerial position, but you already have pages and pages of details: People lead very busy lives, which means that not everyone has time to read everything you’ve written. Keep your cover letter short and get straight to the point as often as possible. If you’re not applying for a job that banks on looks, then there’s no need to include your picture. This somehow implies that you’re hoping to get hired based on your looks. You don’t take note of spelling errors: Proofread what you make at least twice and make sure you go through each line carefully. A misspelled word or wrong grammar means that you didn’t take the time to look at what you’ve written. You have a lot of details in your work history: Companies don’t like hiring people who jump from one job to the next. When you work, you have to remember that experience and loyalty play an important role. You may not always get along with the people you work with, but this doesn’t mean that you can just walk away. You have to be mature because this is your career that you’re talking about. Don’t take things too personally. When people see that you’re working hard, you will eventually get the respect that you deserve. You get extremely creative with your work history: Sure, you want to look good, but this doesn’t give you the right to add details that aren’t true. People can verify what you’ve written simply by looking into the contact details in your list of references. You don’t references or you simply write down people who can only vouch for you personally: Having your former employer in your list of references is a big plus. Don’t get your relatives to vouch for you. These people won’t be objective and companies will doubt your credibility. At the same time, always have the contact details written on your resume. Never leave this space blank because this is greatly frowned upon nowadays.
