Have you been on a job search that is yielding little or no results? Chances are you keep repeating the same mistakes. You should probably do a review of C.V or resume to check what needs to be removed and added. However, these are other reasons you are still in the job search:
1. Be specific on your resume
It is good to have a strong resume with all of your professional skill sets, your resume can become generic when all you do is send the same resume to every available job opening.
2. You are overqualified
This problem is common among older workers seeking career changes. But this can happen to anyone who has a lot of experience and is trying to switch jobs.
3. You are underqualified
Being overqualified is an issue, the same goes for being underqualified. You could be unemployed because you don’t have enough experience or the right skill sets to do the jobs you’ve been applying for. Maybe you’re a recent college graduate or whatever your situation, employers are making it very clear you aren’t qualified.
4. You are not proactive with your job search
If you really want a job, your actions have to reflect your attitude. If you want quality job opportunities, you need to be proactive. Make networking a priority. Attend job fairs. Reach out to employees at companies you’d love to work for on LinkedIn.
5. You have lost all urgency
It can be easy to get into a job search rut. Time goes by differently when you don’t change your job search strategy. The longer it takes for you to find a job, the harder it is to find the motivation to get a job. You may begin to lose confidence in yourself and your skills as a professional.
