Here is the only thing that immediately stops most people from getting the job you're applying for: keep sending the same letter of application (that does not work!) to apply for each job.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that if you keep doing something that does not work while expecting a different result is really necessary to be a masochist!
The problem with sending of the same application "loser" to employers is that raises doubts about your employability. This example below will show you what I mean.
Let me introduce the masochistic David ...
David applies for positions with us for more than a year. He was also applied to other companies that use the same cover letter. As we know this? 1: have you ever used our name in his letter of application and 2: we asked of him.
Too? because he keeps the application we can assume that he was not offered a job by anyone else. This also raises serious doubts in our minds as to employability of David. If it was good should have a job now.
Can refer to the situation of David? If so, then let me show you the simple strategy that has transformed the life of David. I phoned him and asked him why he kept posting the same unsuccessful application to us and all others when it obviously wasn't doing the job. He was stunned. It never occurred to him that his application was a failure.
He was taking it personally? He thought that he was a failure.
He was on the benefits for some good simply because his application letter and resume were not running. I suggested to try a new upgraded application to see if I was right. The end result? He had three interviews within the first week of trying a new approach.
In summary: If you are sending the same type of letter or resume for every job and that you're not getting interviewed then change something!.
Isn't that an employer refuses, it is simply the application that is being rejected. You know that you can do the job, you would not be the application if he could not do so. So don't take this personally.
