Why Are 95% of Job Applicants Not Called Back?
Have you been desperately looking for a job and keep coming up short? Despite all that you do, does every attempt you make seem to fail? Are you at that point of quitting? Ever wonder why you have not been called back? Not long ago, I was right where you are. I was all over the place, running here and there looking for the magic pill to help me. Then it hit me. Have you ever noticed that some people always seem to have employers chasing them? If you are like me, you probably wondered, what's their secret? When I finally came to my senses, I began to look at the things people who were successful at gaining employment were doing. Then I looked at myself to see what I was doing wrong. In every case, I confirmed there were secret tips and hidden knowledge that made the difference. Knowing what not to do is the first step in learning how to perform a successful job search. The following is a list of the 50 sure ways to avoid being hired. Please make sure that you take advantage of this tremendous information that is so powerful, that I am convinced, it will catapult your efforts. A placement office of a major university lists the 50 reasons that are most frequently given by employers for turning down job applicants. As you read the reasons for rejection given below, ask yourself how you would rate in relation to each. 1. Poor personal appearance. 2. Overbearing, over-aggressive, conceited, with superiority or "know-it-all" complex. 3. Inability to express self clearly, poor voice, diction, grammar. 4. Lack of planning for career, no purpose or goals. 5. Lack of interest and enthusiasm, passive and indifferent. 6. Lack of confidence and poise, nervous, lack of self-belief. 7. Failure to participate in activities. 8. Over-emphasis on money; interested only in best dollar offers. 9. Poor scholastic record; just got by. 10. Unwilling to start at the bottom; expects too much too soon. 11. Makes excuses, evasive, hedges on unfavorable factors in record. 12. Lack of tact. 13. Lack of maturity. 14. Lack of courtesy, ill mannered. 15. Condemnation of past employers. 16. Lack of social understanding. 17. Marked dislikes for schoolwork. 18. Lack of vitality. 19. Failure to look interviewer in the eyes when conversing. 20. Limp, fishy handshake. 21. Indecision. 22. Loafs during vacations. 23. Unhappy married life. 24. Friction with parents. 25. Sloppy application blank. Tip: Notice that these items are often items most job seekers ignore. Many items are completely under your direct control and most surface during the interview stage. Study this list again and again. Focus on items that describe you and immediately go to work to control for them. Remember, most often it is usually the simple things that eliminate most applicants.
