1. Having a resume that does not showcase the metal you bring to the table!
Recruiters get thousands of resumes a day. They are looking to reject rather than select. So say loudly on that 2 pager, as to why you should be selected.?
Stop counting on your responsibilities as they are more or less, industry standard. Talk about the impact you created in a way that cannot allow them to ignore you or put you aside.
That’s all you need. A resume that gets you a foot inside the door!
2. Not creating the alignment in interview!
Stop boring interviewers with unnecessary details about what you have done. It is not about you.
Remove all the noise and focus on creating an alignment between your experience, skills & expertise, with what they are looking for.
That makes you interesting, thus creating a perfect win win!
3. Not having the right intention!
Stop moving like a headless chicken in an interview. Know fully well, what you need from the person across the table.
If it is a middle manager- Intention is to make them to believe that You Meet All Expectations
If it is a Senior leader- Intention is to make them to believe that You Exceed All Expectations?

If it is an Executive leader-Intention is to make them to believe that You Will Make It Happen
If it is a CXO- Intention is to make them to believe that You Are Exactly Who They Have Been Looking For to add value, EVEN TO THEM PERSONALLY.
4. Not asking what you are worth!
Stop taking what they offer.
HR always has a room for negotiation. In fact, they know that you will negotiate. And if you don’t, you loose.
Do your research well and based on your situation, decide how much you can push. One of my client has an offer in hand from yesterday and she is going in for another interview today. Based on our strategy from yesterday, she knows fully well how much risk she can take in negotiation.
5. Carrying the same person to the new job!
Stop not knowing and owning up your blind spots.
With time, mediocrity does creep into our lives. Make sure you do not carry that to your new job. ?
Leverage this golden time not only to find the next job, but also to work on yourself to become capable of creating phenomenal success in that new role. An enhanced peed of growth require deliberate and designed efforts.

7 个月Thanks for the great reminder. It is also very important for job searching to have a useful tool! F1 Hire—this tool is a lifesaver for international students looking for H1B jobs. The AI resume matching and job description analysis are spot-on. Highly recommended. Shilpa Kulshrestha - Murdering Mediocrity

7 个月Shilpa Kulshrestha - Murdering Mediocrity most of the recruiters still asked and looked archived and back dated question and material on the resume millions of articles wrote however a the end of the day same question introduce yourself and why you left previous job.. blah blah mai kya kar sakta hu wo jikr interview mein kahi nahi hota. If you go for cross-functional domain tab to you have no relevant experience in this field although I knew the job role and worked many years along with performing current roles....
