Mistakes That Are Costing You Job Interviews! Are you tired of being qualified but still struggling to land interviews?

Do you feel lost in your career, unsure of the next steps to take?

Many people find themselves stuck because they lack clarity in their career direction. It’s common to see resumes that use outdated objectives or fail to highlight key achievements. For example:

?

Outdated Objective:?

"To obtain a challenging position where I can utilize my skills and grow with the company."

?

Instead, your resume should showcase your accomplishments and the value you bring to a potential employer. Consider these updated career profile statements that include relevant keywords and industry jargon:

?

Award-Winning JOB TITLE "With 7 years of experience in the Contact Center within the Financial Industry/Banking. Proven record of reducing Average Handling Time (AHT) by 30% year after year, resulting in cost reductions of up to $2M+ without compromising quality scores. Recipient of JD Power award for highest customer service satisfaction. Increased employee engagement from 75% to 85% with a new coaching framework within 8 weeks."

??

Business-Centric Information Technology (IT) Leader?

"With 15+ years of strategy and execution for Global Fortune 500 large enterprise customers & stakeholders with architectural innovations. Proven track record of reducing technical debt by $10M, five years in a row. Optimized P&L and a $50M budget by turning around stalled IT projects."

?

These examples show the importance of clarity and specificity in your resume. The more you move up in your career, the more essential it becomes to understand the intricacies of what your direct reports or stakeholders do. Having only a little knowledge can be harmful, and sharing too much can make you appear overqualified.

Sweta, Certified Career and Resume Strategist.

As a seasoned hiring manager, I've navigated the landscape of talent acquisition by recruiting from diverse pools at job fairs and career events. With an eagle eye honed through years of experience, I've personally sifted through thousands of resumes, distinguishing between the merely good and the truly exceptional. This firsthand insight into the hiring process has granted me a unique perspective on what it takes to secure interview opportunities.

My journey hasn't always been smooth. English is not my first language, and early in my career, I struggled with communication skills and the fear of bragging about myself on paper. However, through years of hiring experience, I learned what works: who gets picked, who gets overlooked, and why. After facing a layoff, I applied these strategies to myself, overcoming self-doubt and securing numerous interviews and job offers.

The RICH framework I've developed is not just theoretical; it's built on over 15 years of real-world hiring experience, shared with countless clients. Success in job hunting isn't about luck; it's about implementing a thoughtful branding strategy that can help anyone rise above biases and hiring gaps, without excuses.

Don't let uncertainty hold you back – say goodbye to guesswork. Let's chart your path to landing interviews.

I'm inviting job seekers to take this free resume course, based on years of experience and transformation stories from my clients who have landed their dream jobs. They never thought it was possible until they saw how resume branding could boost their confidence and help them overcome self-doubt. Join me on this journey and unlock your potential.


Don’t miss this opportunity to take control of your career and land the interviews you deserve.

Mistakes in a job search can cost you more than you think. #CareerTips101: Every moment spent fixing errors or waiting for the wrong job's response is time you could have used applying for a better fit. Applying to the wrong jobs or not presenting yourself well means you might miss out on roles that are perfect for you. The longer you're out of work or in a job that doesn’t pay well, the more money you lose. This can include not just salary, but benefits too. Mistakes can stall your career. You might miss opportunities to learn new skills or move up the ladder. A prolonged job search and repeated rejections can take a toll on your mental health, causing stress and anxiety. To avoid these pitfalls, research each role thoroughly, tailor your applications, and keep refining your job search strategy. This way, you can reduce these costs and find the right job faster.
