Common Mistakes That Can Disintegrate Your Online Job Search |
Posted: August 20, 2018 |
Outdated Resume - Most job seekers ignore the importance of updating their resumes on a regular basis. If you profile does not highlight the recent skills you have developed, experiences you have acquired and training you have undergone - it will be difficult for potential employers to match your resume against their job profile. Posting Resume Everywhere – This is important for high package professionals at higher levels. Avoid posting resumes on public portals where they can be openly accessed. Not only are potential employers accessing your profile, but so is your current organization. Avoid creating an awkward situation while you are out to find a job. Social Media Reputation - It isn't uncommon for recruiters to perform a background check on you before they actually confirm your employment. With the availability of social media profiles and a range of other online resources it doesn't take the HR team to get some scoop on your non-professional self. It is thus important that all the content you post or are associated with on the internet is clean and doesn't work against your reputation in your professional circles. Quality Communication - Even though it may be easy and cheap to engage with thousands of recruiters, it does not mean you slack back in the quality of communications you have or profiles you build. Informally written incomplete profiles are a simple way to telling people that you aren't a committed person with a detail to perfection. Therefore, it is important to mind your language while interacting with employers via internet portals, emails and other sources of online communication. Though the discussed factors don't guarantee you a job, they will certainly increase the opportunities. It is therefore important to keep them in mind while you search a job online or register yourself on a new job search portal.
