Maybe even 7 ways NOT to get a job? Before you set about looking for your dream job, or when you’re worried that the recruiter isn’t calling, check out the most common mistakes that occur when looking for a job. You’ll know what to avoid and what might be the cause of your lack of success so far.

Have you ever come across the statement that we have an employee’s market these days? That jobs are lying on the street, waiting to be picked up, but few people want to work? That all you have to do is want it and the job will find itself? This is all true. Partially, at least. But… yeah, exactly. There’s that “but” again.

Looking for a job is not always quick and easy. It may not be pleasant, either. A lot depends on whether you prepare yourself properly for this activity. Yes, yes – you need to prepare for job searching. So it already requires a lot of effort. As my mother tends to say: no pain, no gain?

If you don’t want to prepare appropriately because you don’t have the time, you don’t want to, or you can’t be bothered with such silly things etc., then at least remember the golden rules that will ascertain you don’t get the job.
