Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Five Reasons Why You Hardly Get Job Application Feedback + Free CV Template by genuineone: 1:44pm On Jan 05, 2017
bakingsoda:
If you have submitted job application for the same position up to five times and you did not get the job or at least an invitation for assessment, five top issues are involved. They are mostly that:

1. Your CV was not well laid out
2. Your CV had contents that disqualified you
3. The company received too many responses and did not even open your mail
4. You were not qualified for the job
5. Your cover letter was not good enough

Below are the ways that the aforementioned instances can affect your chances of getting a job.

Your CV is not well laid out

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication – Leonardo da Vinci

Keep your CV design simple. Even if you are a graphic artist, you are not required to show your skills visually on it.

Just a simple outline of your data is enough to qualify you for the next stage. What matters most is the content, but how do you expect the hiring manager to go through it if it is not well organised?

Remember that you are not the only applicant. There will surely be a whole lot of CVs to go through. If the text on yours are not legible without stress, it would be discarded no matter how qualified for the job you are.

Your CV contains contents that disqualified you

Is your email itsmethebadboy@yahoo.com? Cool. But your employer wants to see your ruggedness in your performance not through your email address. A simple email address will do. You could use your first name and surname or abbreviate either of the two. This is called maturity.

Your CV is the first impression of you that your potential employer has. You should come across as a serious individual that would add value to the organisation.

Other items that could disqualify you for a job position are

Your biodata

Religion: use the space for relevant data such as the languages you speak.

Age: if the vacancy advert indicates a particular age and you have aged beyond it, do not forget to remove your date of birth completely. In fact, it is not necessary for you to add date of birth unless you are submitting an application in a required format.

Skills & attributes: Copying and pasting of generic skills from online resources: the hiring manager would surely recognise it.

Be careful how you indicate your personal attributes. Instead of saying ‘I am a strong believer in my church/mosque, and I can face and overcome any storm’, say, ‘I am an optimistic individual who always sees challenges as avenue to apply my skills and go outside my comfort zone in achieving great results’.

Qualification

Grade: If your grade falls into lower class and below, leave it outside of your CV. Grade is one of the criteria that most organisations still shortlist applicants with. You might be qualified for the job, but a hiring manager that has decided to shortlist with grades may not have the time to go through the rest of your document, especially if he has a lot of documents to review.

Hobbies

It is better to state just one relevant hobby, than to list hobbies that would not help you in your job performance. Remember that your aim of submitting the application in the first place is to convince the organisation that you can perform the job they advertised for. e.g. adding chatting to your hobby on your CV if you are applying for the post of a secretary might affect your chances of getting the job. Or do you expect them to employ you so that you could chat away their trade secrets?

Other contents that could disqualify you include using short forms to write your words, or using informal language.

The company received too many responses and did not even open your mail

This case is very likely based on the high volume of responses to job vacancy due to scarcity of jobs. However, if you do not get favourable responses from job applications, check your CV for other issues.

If you are confident that it is fine, then, to avoid being the one left out in all situations, go the extra mile when applying for jobs.

If the hiring organisation is within your reach, you could submit your application in person. You could also follow up via email after one week of applying.

To stand a higher chance of being invited for assessment, if the vacancy advert states that applications will be acknowledged, then you should follow up before the deadline if you do not get the acknowledgement.

Another way to scale this hurdle is to contact the recruitment unit of the hiring organisation via phone call. Do not do this if you are unable to communicate smartly. Remember that you are calling a decision maker not your personal person.

You could write down your speech and practice it before making the call. After introducing yourself, go straight to the point and let them know that you are calling to confirm that your application to their recent vacancy advert (mention the exact position you applied for) was received.

You are not qualified for the job

If you do not get feedback after applying to several jobs it may simply be because you are not qualified for the jobs. Make sure you apply to jobs that you qualify for in terms of:

Gender
Qualification
Required remuneration
Location
Core skill

If all of the above are listed in a job advert and you do not fall in any of the required categories, do not bother to apply. Chances are, a lot of qualified candidates would apply and the hiring manager would not even bother with you.

If you would like to work in a particular company that does not have any opening for your skill set or qualification, it is safer for you to send cold applications listing your skill set and the values that you could add to your preferred department in the organisation.

Your cover letter was not good enough


This is a perfect way of shooting yourself in the legs. Your cover letter is your first impression. If it is not impressive, the hiring manager will not access your interest, unless, you are the only applicant. Who wants to work in an organisation where only one person responded to their job advert anyway.

Use your application letter to sell yourself to your potential employer. Do not talk about where you were born or the number of people in your family, nobody is interested, at least not your employer. Instead highlight your qualifications, work experience, and skills.

Tell them how you can apply your knowledge to achieve positive results at the position they want to fill. Express how you can help them reach their goals and add value to their organisation.

Lastly, always review your job search documents from time to time. Tailor them to the position you are applying for at any given moment. You could also apply for jobs even if you are not thinking of changing jobs. This would help you know your status in the labor market and how you have improved in your career.

Hi Genuineone,
You mentioned that you have not held a job position since you finished Nysc. But may I ask, is it that you don't get invited for interviews or you don't get pass the interview stage? You need to identify why you are not getting a job so that you can work on it
I have attended few interviews, I hope that soon God will answer my prayers
Jobs/Vacancies / Being Thankful by genuineone: 2:27pm On Dec 30, 2016
