Do you really want this job?
Your job search is not just about finding a job - any job - you are going to spend a lot of time there, so be sure it’s a job that you really want. If you focus your job search on identifying jobs that you really think you would enjoy and for which you are well qualified, it is inevitable that you will have much more success in your job hunt. Don’t panic and apply for just anything. Do yourself justice and be selective.
Be positive in your approach, try to view yourself from the perspective of the employer. Make sure that your CV demonstrates that you have the relevant skills and competencies for a particular job. It is surprising how many people miss this point. Don’t just send out the same old CV for every job you apply for. Look carefully at what is being advertised, if there is a person spec make sure that the skills you are demonstrating are the ones they need.
It is not necessary to have a different CV for every job you apply for, but a few minor alterations to your CV can make all the difference to be sure you are pitching at the right level and can greatly increase your chances of success in the jobs market.
