Avoid These Job Search Mistakes Everyone Else Makes To Make Your Search Faster

You are likely?slowing?down your job search by making the same mistakes as most other job seekers.

In job markets where there were candidate shortages, you could get away with these mistakes and still find a decent job ... because there weren't enough qualified job seekers. But today, when 80M-110M+ currently employed job seekers join the unemployed to compete for 10M advertised jobs, you can't afford to make mistakes when there are job shortages (11+ job seekers for every job).

So the first step in?accelerating?your job search is recognizing what causes you to lose opportunities when you're qualified.

Here are 3 common mistakes most job seekers make that?slow?your search:

1. Not Enough Resume Customization:?Most job seekers don't customize their resume enough to get through pre-screening, because they spend an average 15 minutes customizing their resume, or send the same standard resume when they apply for jobs. Investing more time in resume customization is a great way to get more interviews and accelerate your job search.
2. Portraying Yourself As Qualified:?When there is an abundance of qualified job seekers competing, and everyone else describes themselves as qualified, then qualified = average. To accelerate your job search, you need to portray yourself as one of the top candidates.
3. Applying Online:?When employers expect 5-10 qualified candidates competing for each interview spot, applying online makes it even more difficult to land high quality interviews. That's why reports from 2 major job boards give you a 0.01% chance of landing a job you applied to online.

How many of these mistakes are you making in your job search? It's not because you want to lose opportunities, it's because you haven't been taught a better way.

Good think I'll teach you how to improve your resume customization, portray yourself as one of the top candidates, and stop applying online, so you can accelerate your own job search. While we're at it, I'll show you other changes to your resume/interview/job search strategies that you can use to make your job search at least twice as fast
