Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Writing a Job Application

Image
  Applying for jobs can sometimes feel like throwing your resume into a black hole. If you are applying for endless job applications but receiving no call back maybe it’s your application that’s the problem. Understanding how to improve your application and avoid errors will help you stand out and make a strong impression on potential employers. Here is a list of the top five most important mistakes to avoid when writing your application. 1.      Spamming Job Boards with Generic Applications It’s important to understand that job recruiters often sift through countless job applications, so you want to ensure yours is personalised and stands out. If you spam job boards with the same generic application, recruiters may notice, especially if they work with multiple companies to hire prospective employees. Additionally, you might forget which companies you applied to, leading to an awkward situation if you receive a callback. Investing time in understanding the...

Job Application Writing Services: Are They Worth the Investment?

Image
  The question of whether a job application writing service is worth the investment depends on several factors such as your availability, skills in writing, and your motivation in applying for jobs. This process can be daunting, as many individuals are time-poor due to other life commitments or lack the stamina to handle multiple rejections. On average, a person usually needs to apply for over 100 jobs before landing one, so it’s no surprise that most people abandon job applications altogether if they are deemed too lengthy or complex. Further challenges prospective employees may face when applying for jobs include the quality of the applications themselves. 2 in 5 recruiters immediately disqualify candidates who fail to submit a cover letter alongside their resume, and 45% of recruiters believe the resumes they receive are poorly formatted. At a minimum, including a well-structured cover letter and a professionally formatted resume is crucial if you want to be considered a stro...

Cover Letter knowhow

Image
Your cover letter is a letter of introduction usually accompanying your resume when applying for a position vacant. There are may job seekers who believe they are not necessary – after all isn’t that the point of the resume? To tell the potential employer about you – the perfect applicant! The truth is cover letters actually play a vital and important role in the process for both the potential employee and the employer or advertiser. For the potential employee the cover letter is a way of introducing themselves on a more personal level than their resume and reiterating their suitability for the position and why they are particularly interested in it. For the employer, often it is a way to screen applicants to determine if the applicant has the required skills, experience or qualifications or even if the applicant is particularly interested in their position. Let’s face it how many potential employers are going to interview someone who does not provide them with a cover letter; or if so...

Marketing yourself via your resume

However, many of us find it hard to sell ourselves effectively and efficiently. It may be worthwhile seeking the input of a professional resume writer in order to deliver a more polished document.

It is suggested if the resume writer is going to use an objective statement this needs to be concise, exciting an...

STAR job application writing

It is tempting when job seeking to use the same approach we have always used. After all familiar is comfortable and let’s face it, job application writing and job seeking is already a stressful situation without trying something new at the same time.

We ensure our resume is presented in a clear, easy to read format that looks professional and shows us in our best light to the potential employer. The job application process also includes our cover letter. Once again, individualised to the position description,...

The panic behind addressing Selection Criteria

Image
I had two friends who are currently job seeking contact me this week in a panic because the positions they were highly interested in required addressing selection criteria. Initially I was confused as to why this was such a stress for my very competent and both highly qualified and experienced friends. Then after some thought I realised that unless you have applied for government positions in the past; experience with selection criteria is probably not something most job seekers are familiar with. The interesting thing is that most job applications do in some form require the addressing of selection criteria even if it is not in a formal context. Our cover letter and job application writing   are usually addressing the key criteria stated in the job description of the position vacant as it appears in the job advertisement. Job selection criteria informs the applicant what knowledge, skills and experience the employer is looking for. As an applicant it is extremely important that yo...
