Can you remember how many job vacancies you have applied for? Over 100 I guess.

Have you imagined why you have applied for several jobs and attended countless job interviews and you have still not been able to get a job?

Applying for jobs and landing those jobs are two different ball games, you know why?

It is how you apply for a job that determines if you would ultimately land the job or not. I know this may sound shocking because I am sure you have felt like you are close to getting a job, after sending out hundreds of your CV and probably landed job interviews that impressed you, but at the end no job!

We understand that putting in all your effort to search for a job and getting no result at the end could be exhausting because it sure takes courage to keep trying after failing many times.

Regardless of how many times you have tried to get a job and failed, one thing you should know is that job search is an intentional process, and you must be intentional about the right things you should do if you want to get results.

Landing the job of your dreams has little or nothing to do with how many applications you send out, but it has everything to do with the quality of the applications that you send out. You must learn how to apply for fewer jobs and land more interviews that will ultimately get you the job you want.
