The top 10 things not to do when you're looking for a new job!

04/05/2024


  1. Procrastinating: Don't put off your job search – start as soon as possible to maximise your chances of success.
  2. Neglecting Networking: Don't underestimate the power of networking – it's often the key to uncovering hidden job opportunities.
  3. Being Passive: Don't wait for job openings to come to you – be proactive in seeking out opportunities and making connections.
  4. Neglecting Your LinkedIn Profile: Don't overlook the importance of having a strong LinkedIn profile – it's often the first impression recruiters and hiring managers will have of you.
  5. Applying to Every Job: Don't apply to every job you come across – instead, focus on roles that align with your skills, experience, and career goals.
  6. Being Unprepared: Don't go into interviews or networking events unprepared – do your research and practice your pitch beforehand.
  7. Badmouthing Previous Employers: Don't speak negatively about previous employers or colleagues – it reflects poorly on you and can raise red flags for potential employers.
  8. Ignoring Feedback: Don't ignore feedback from recruiters or hiring managers – use it as an opportunity to improve and refine your approach.
  9. Being Inflexible: Don't be rigid in your job search criteria – be open to exploring different industries, roles, and locations.
  10. Giving Up: Don't give up if you face rejection or setbacks – perseverance is key to success in the job search process.
