Do you keep applying for jobs without any response? Do you keep responding to potential clients on Fiverr or Upwork and only hear crickets in return?
You might be making the BIGGEST MISTAKE most job applicants make… but there is a clear SOLUTION.
On your next job application or client response, you will not only get a response but also a much greater chance of getting hired!
The #1 Mistake Job Applicants Make
The #1 MISTAKE people make when applying for a job is not reading the ENTIRE job posting.
You should only skim through job descriptions when you’re narrowing down your options. Once it appears to be a good option, you need to stop skimming and start reading.
Whether it’s a 3-sentence gig description on Fiverr or a 3-page job description, read every word.
Why?...
You need to read every word so you can better understand what the employer is looking for. Then, you can tailor your response to best display how you’re a good fit for the position.
And when I say tailor, I mean customize your cover letter, resume, and response for that specific employer and for that particular position.
You should view your current cover letter and resume only as a template-not as one-size-fits-all documents.
Employers will greatly appreciate your attention to detail and see that you are sincerely interested in the position. Even if you don’t meet all of their requirements, they will still consider you because of your extra effort.
What an employer wants more than anything out of a candidate is someone willing to put the time and brainpower required to do a job… and to do it well. By tailoring your application, you are showing them how you work, not just telling them.
What To Do to Get an Employer Response
Read EVERYTHING so you can show your potential employer that you pay attention to detail and put in the extra effort compared to your competition.
Customize your cover letter and resume using keywords and critical information from the job description.
Thoughtfully pull words and info directly from the job listing to show that you’re really invested in this application.
By simply reading and thoroughly responding, I can almost guarantee that you will get a response. That means you can at least start the conversation.
Even if you’re not quite right for the job, they will likely respond to show you the same respect you showed them. Then, you can respectfully and professionally respond, addressing their concerns and further highlight why you’d be a good employee.
The Same is True for Responding to Potential Clients
The same concepts apply to freelancers and other businesses that must attract clients.
The only difference is you’re responding to potential clients rather than potential employers. And, in reality, those are the same thing-you are going to be working for your clients on Fiverr, Upwork, etc., as you would an employer.
So, the only real difference is your time commitment to the “employer/client.” It might only be for one project or a limited time, but it’s still a job. As a job, you still need to show that you read everything and respond thoroughly.
Granted, your response does not have to be as thorough as when applying for a formal, long-term position. But you still want to hit all the key details.
Read & Be Specific!
Don’t make the #1 mistake people make when applying for a job. Read the job description in its entirety and provide a thorough response.
If you do those two things, you can expect to get far more responses and a far greater chance of landing the job.
