If you are looking for a job and want to get hired fast, make sure you aren't making these three mistakes:

  1. Using one resume for every job. You should have a tailored resume for each position you are applying for. (You can learn more in our Getting Hired Resource Center.

  2. Applying to fake jobs. Unfortunately, there are a lot of job scams out there, make sure you know the signs of a phony job listing!

  3. Not preparing for the interview. Ask a family member or friend to conduct a mock interview with you and review some top interview questions!

What are some other common job search mistakes people should avoid?? Comment below!

Under things to avoid, you should know what you want, what your limitations are, not being prepared for an offering or counter offer. You should be positive in your thinking.
