#67 Job search, networking, recruitment – 3 common mistakes that prevent you from landing a job

Are you desperately looking for a job? You write applications, you reach out to companies, you network and try to get in contact with recruiters and hiring managers – without success?

I am now a hiring manager myself, and I have observed that many people make at least one out of these three mistakes:

1. They are downgrading their own competences
2. They are not able to keep their energy up in the right moment
3. They are not empathetic enough when handing in their application

From the perspective of a hiring manager, these three mistakes would DISTRACT me from a candidate applying to the position that I have open, no matter how good the CV or cover letter looks like!

I am therefore sharing with you in this episode, what you should do to avoid making these mistakes.

I would be happy to support you that you can have a successful and fulfilling career by being able to show your true, authentic self! Therefore, this podcast is based on three pillars:

• Self-confidence & self-esteem

• Managing your emotions

• Concrete communication techniques based on NLP

And in each episode, you will hear about one of them. – Subscribe to not miss any important points!
