We’ve all heard the saying many times before. Granted it is usually said when trying to get to grips with bad eating or poor exercise habits.
Going through our jobs boards this week it occurred to me the above philosophy can be applied to job hunters as well.
We’re continuing to see an increase in the number of CV applications going through to each new job advertising on AdminJobs.ie. There are less jobs out there and particularly in the administration sector, as this area has experienced serious cutbacks.
But what we are also seeing is more and more jobseekers are sending their CV applications for roles twice and sometimes 3-4 times for the same advertisement!
A kind of “I’ve heard nothing back so I will send my CV application in again”
Feedback guys, from the employers advertising the role is, it’s doing you no favours. Clients are asking why would someone send it in twice and it’s actually going against you as opposed to giving you an added advantage. I had one client ask,
“Do they not know who they have already applied to? Makes me think my role is not special to them”
We know it’s tough out there, especially in the administration sector where most cut backs have been made. We have qualified architects, marketers, and sales executives now applying for administration roles.
But remember, just send one CV application to each employer and make sure it counts. Read these fantastic tips on how to make your CV stand above the rest.
