After reviewing, without exaggeration, hundreds of resumes of potential web designers, one gains experience and understanding of common mistakes that of people make when applying for a job. I offer simple life hacks to avoid at least the most common ones.
Send your CV to the correct address
You need to understand that other employees of the company, whose duties do not include the transfer and analysis of the resume, will not transfer it to its intended purpose. As a rule, people are quite loaded busy and all documents that are not related to their immediate tasks are ignored.
If you want to get to the address, you need to look for the personnel department of the company. It may not have such a structure, then you need a leader directly who hires. The office website does not always have a corresponding e-mail address, but do not despair. Try to find an organization on the websites of applicants, perhaps there was already a need for employees. In this case, even if the firm company is not looking for people, you can get data to contact the boss.
On such sites it is possible to find not the direct address, but the telephone number of the organization. You can call for contact information. But do not be too intrusive, otherwise it may be perceived as a form of spam.
It is important to consider that the form of application and submission of a resume is important, after all, you are dealing with a director. You need to write an introduction in the letter so that you can evaluate your qualities already at this stage. It should be a polite message, but don’t come off as a sycophant. Brief information about yourself and the reason why you will be a worthy employee of the company is the minimum that should be.
And another common mistake is lying. Communication is now easier and faster than ever before in history. Almost all agencies at the time of admission check the data on previous places of work. One call will reveal the fraud, which in 100% of cases excludes hiring.
