Mistakes Job Seekers Make

Thanks, Steve, for this good advice:

The Biggest Mistakes Made by Job Seekers

1. Too desperate/willing to take anything
2. Poor interview preparation
3. Weak resumes

Your job hunting strategy is key. During hard times, you need to have strong job-hunting skills to compete. Developing a strategy can help you organize and focus your search, while helping you overcome that sense of desperation. Also keep in mind, many employers prefer not to advertise on the Internet. Some jobs are "not advertised" and the only way to find them is by working with a recruiter and networking.
