…getting shortlisted, getting callbacks, and getting taken seriously.
Mistake #1 ❌
Listing achievements without any context.
Instead, play around with what they are expecting, build a compelling narrative.
Mistake #2 ❌
Applying first, understanding the role later.
Recruiters can sense confusion faster than you can say “Any update?”
Mistake #3 ❌
Believing your skills alone will do the talking, while your resume sits there as a dull 3-4 page PDF.
Recruiters hardly spend a few seconds on every resume, not minutes. So why not give them a reason to stop… and stalk?
Mistake #4 ❌
Waiting to be discovered instead of being visible.
Silence on LinkedIn is not “being low-key,” it’s being invisible. Try being active, building those precious referrals.
Mistake #5 ❌
Assuming rejection means you’re not good enough.
Most times, you’re just not positioned right.
These small mistakes are the only things holding you back from moving from “That candidate is good, but…” to ππ» “We want that candidate at any cost.”
Fix the mistakes.
