Expert -Job application is an exercise that requires a lot of care because any miscommunication in the application letter and during the interview may cost one an appointment.
When one is writing a resume, cover letter etc, it is very key to use highly formal tone to grab your employer’s attention. Your choice of tone and words matters quite a lot.
And because there is a lot of competition in the job market, you will need to tailor your application letter to match your specific job. Avoid being vague because it shows you are not sure. Make it a customised resume in a manner that would persuade anyone looking at it that you are the one they were looking for all these time.
Help your potential employer or employers to understand who you are and what you have done before. Make their work easier. This may put you far better or higher in grades than the rest.
And when time for interviews come, utilise the one-on-one moment to make your presentation look exactly like the CV you presented. It must be the same thing. What you say and what is in the papers you presented must look alike.
Your verbal and physical presentation can also make or break your day. The two elements count a percentage in the overall interview score. So, be very careful.
And lastly, always remember to say thank you after the interview is complete. You never know if the two words alone were your only ‘saviour-in-waiting’. One or two people in the interviewing panel may notice that small difference and pick on you based on that account. Maybe, no other candidate thought about how valuable a mere ‘Thank You’ can be. But it plays a role just like a comma can save life!
