DO THIS NOW IF YOU WANT TO GET THAT JOB!
"I have been applying for jobs, but I haven't been getting feedback from the HRs."
This and more are questions we get from job seekers.
Just 3 weeks ago, a young lady named Nnenna reached out to us on WhatsApp and said, "She felt stuck in her job search; I have applied for almost 25 applications."
The Problem:
Nnenna had been sending out the same CV to every job she found, hoping something would stick. But after months of no response, she began to worry if she would ever get hired. Many job seekers make this same mistake.
Our Question:
Have you been tailoring your CV to the job you've been applying for?
Her Answer: Not Really
Our Advice:
Stop sending random CVs, and learn how to always tailor your CV for each job application. Instead of sending out the same resume, we advised her to carefully read each job description and adjust her CV to match the skills and experiences the employer is looking for. This meant highlighting relevant achievements, using keywords from the job posting, and showing how her past work directly related to the position she wanted.
The Change:
After taking this advice to heart, Nnenna spent time tailoring her CV for each application; though it was stressful, it was worth doing. Just last week, she started getting emails and calls for interviews in Lagos, Nigeria.
This principle works anywhere, no matter your country or continent.
Did she get the job after her interview?
Is a story for another day!
HERE'S THE POINT 👇
If you’re not getting responses from employers, it might be time to rethink your approach. Tailoring your CV for each job application can make you stand out to hiring managers, and I know this for sure because we conduct a minimum of 2 to 3 interviews for different organizations every week. This will help you show that you have the specific skills and experience they’re looking for, and you increase your chances of getting noticed and landing the job.
