Things to watchout for:
Being active on the job market can be somewhat of an overwhelming undertaking. As the old cliché goes, “it’s a full time job looking for a full time job.” While it’s ok to cut yourself some slack if you’ve been "knocking down doors" (or sending out resumes) for a while to no avail, you don’t want to get “sloppy” and start to make some of these common mistakes.
It’s worth reminding yourself that, when you’re on the job market, every single touchpoint you have with a prospective employer – from submitting your materials, to interviewing, to every single phone call, email, or interaction (including what they find on your social media) you exchange – is an opportunity for them to evaluate you. In order to make sure that evaluation is always positive and in favor of your candidacy, avoid making these whopping mistakes when you’re on the job hunt:


01 Too Much Information in Your Resume

An objective doesn't work on a resume unless you write one that shows what you have to offer the employer. Your resume should be about what you can offer the employer, not what you want in a job. You also don't need to include 20 years of work history, your high school graduation date, or what you like to do for fun. You only have seconds to make an impression, so make sure it's a good one.
02 Too Much Information in Your Cover Letter

The hiring manager doesn't need to read about the personal reasons you want this job or about why it would be great for you. Your family circumstances should remain private. As with your resume, the hiring manager wants to know what you can do for the company.
Keep your cover letter concise and focused on why you are the right fit for the job and worthy of an interview. Take the time to write a targeted cover letter and match your qualifications to the job, so the employer can see why you're a good candidate.
03 Dressing Inappropriately for a Job Interview
Dressing inappropriately for a job interview works both ways. Being overdressed can hurt you almost as much as looking like a slob.
It's important to research the company and the workplace, or ask if you're not sure, so you fit in with the employees that you will be working with if you're hired. What you are wearing is the first thing the hiring manager will notice, to be sure to make the best impression.
