20 Dumb Job Search Mistakes - Are You Making Them?

(CareerBuilder.com) -- The phrase "shoot yourself in the foot" didn't create itself. In fact, job seekers probably coined it.
Every day, thousands of people look for a job -- and almost every single one of them makes at lease one mistake (or 10) in the process. The worst part is, many if not all of these blunders are completely avoidable.
"It never ceases to amaze me when people make mistakes, then slap themselves on the forehead and say, 'I can't believe I did that.' I feel the need to pop them on the head," says JaLynn Hudnall, of Ravenwood Forest Consulting.
Here are 20 dumb job search mistakes that experts say you can avoid with a little thought:
1. Not using a professional e-mail address.
"It is wonderful that you are proud of your heritage and cultural roots. However, please don't use 'juicygapeach' as your e-mail address," Hudnall says. "There are enough free e-mail hosts out there that you can set up a plain first.last account that is professional and non-descript."
2. Jumping into the fire without your fireproof undies.
"[Don't start] your search without a plan or much thought as to where you want to go and how you plan to get there," says Julie Bauke, author of "Stop Peeing On Your Shoes- Avoiding the 7 Mistakes that Screw up your Job Search." Also, make sure you can answer these three key questions: Why are you in the job market? Tell me about yourself. What are you looking to do next?
3. Not checking yourself in the mirror before walking into an interview.
"I once interviewed someone who had a giant piece of lettuce hanging off his mustache," says Mario Schulzke, founder of CareerSparx.com. "I should have said something to him, but it was just too awkward and instead I spent 30 minutes staring at the guy's upper lip."
CareerBuilder.com: Keep your eyes on solar companies
4. Falling into the 'black hole.'
Many job seekers misunderstand the role of the Internet in their job search, Bauke says. "It is good for research and connections," she says, but "you are not most likely to get a job that way."
5. Being forgetful.
"One mistake that I have seen a number of times over the years is people using a cover letter template and forgetting to change the company and name to who it is addressed," says Paul Peterson, MA, MBA, national talent resource manager, human resources. "Your cover letter should always be customized to the company and position to which you are applying."
6. Going to networking events -- but not really networking.
"Real networking is building mutually beneficial relationships," Bauke says. That can be hard to do in a group setting. "Make sure you are having at least three to five one-on-one meetings per week."
7. Omitting a signature block in your e-mail.
"A signature block is a perfect place to give a brief 20-word teaser and include a link to your online résumé," Hudnall says. For example, "Georgia Environmental Engineer with 7 years experience, seeking job in new locale, click here for full résumé."
8. Casting your net too widely.
"You are not a fit everywhere and you are not good at everything," Bauke reminds. "Your search will be much more effective if you focus on exactly what kind of work you want to do and where you want to do it."
9. Not paying attention.
"Job seekers aren't reading the job description carefully and following the specific directions provided by the employer, recruiter or hiring manager," says Eddy Salomon, founder of Workathomenoscams.com and Workathomecareers.com. "The job description may state 'please apply by visiting x site. Please do not send a résumé.' But many job seekers are guilty of scanning the information provided and will end up doing the opposite of what has been described and send a résumé. Employers can't help but disqualify these candidates because it shows a lack of attention to detail and the failure to follow directions."
CareerBuilder.com: Get the most from a fall-back job
10. Overlooking the interviewing "gimme" questions.
Prepare to answer the basics questions: What are your strengths and weaknesses? Tell me about yourself. Why should we hire you? "You know they are coming. Be prepared!" Bauke says.
11. Not joining your local Chamber of Commerce.
"Every Chamber across the United States has a monthly get together usually called something like 'Business After Hours,' and many even have young professionals associations," Hudnall says. "Not using this an as opportunity to network and meet others in your field is a missed opportunity."
12. Having grammar or spelling errors on your résumé or cover letter.
"No matter how many résumés you send out, each customized to fit one job description, you must review each one closely for grammar and spelling errors," says Rick Saia, CPRW, content writer for Pongo Résumé . "Even the tiniest error will cast a bad impression on the hiring manager, especially if you write 'attentive to detail' as a strength. It's good practice to have a trusted friend or relative read through your documents before you send them."
13. Not being mindful of social media presence.
"Job seekers need to be mindful of social profiles and pictures they may have out on the Web that may be deemed inappropriate. In some cases employers may secretly try to 'friend' you on a given social network so they can have access to your wall and photos," Salomon says. Before applying to any job, one should search for his or her own name to ensure there isn't anything out there that would be deemed inappropriate.
14. Trying to turn an informational interview into a job interview.
"This is probably the worst form of abusing your network contacts. An informational interview is to get information, not an offer," says Ron Katz, author of "Someone's Gonna Get Hired ... It Might As Well Be You!" "When people start peppering the contact to see if there are any openings or jobs available, the person with whom they are meeting feels duped, taken advantage of, and at worst, angry and resentful."
15. Not having a LinkedIn profile.
"Many employers and HR professionals use LinkedIn as their go-to resource for more information about a candidate," Schulzke says. "If you don't have a LinkedIn profile, you are missing out on a critical opportunity to showcase your skills and experience."
CareerBuilder.com: 7 things you should never say in an interview
16. Failing to research the company.
"At least take some time to review the company's website and use some of that knowledge in your résumé and cover letter," Saia says. "When you get to the interview, you'll need to know much more, especially to show how your skills and experience match up with the demands of the job and how your skills and experience can benefit the company."
17. Not following up after applying for a job.
"Following up is critical to set you apart from other applicants. Job seekers often neglect this key step because, for example, they applied online and don't have a name to follow up with," says Amy Olmscheid, manager of the Career Center at Capella University. "But if you don't have a name of a person to follow up with, find one. Use the Internet or use your network. Get the name of a contact in human resources or a manager in the department you want to work in and then follow up with a call or e-mail."
18. Neglecting to follow up after an interview.
"Always send a thank you note to the interviewer," Olmscheid says. "Sending your note by e-mail is perfectly acceptable, but a handwritten note is a nice extra touch."
19. Failing to ask questions at the interview.
"Remember that you want to find out about the company and hiring manager as much as you want to tell them about you," Saia says. "By passing on the opportunity to ask questions, you're sending a message that you're not that interested in the job. And employers want candidates who are interested."
20. Relying on a single job-hunt strategy.

"Some job seekers will declare that they are only using online job boards and those individuals may miss excellent opportunities," Olmscheid says. "Job seekers typically identify more jobs and make more connections that can lead to jobs when they use a multi-pronged approach. Amp up your job search with job boards, face-to-face meetings, networking at professional development meetings, phone networking and other search strategies."

1. Inspiration: David Found Strength in the Lord His God

Hello JobSeekers and friends in our network!

I'm looking forward to 2011 with hope in my heart, optimism in my eyes, and faith in God that through Him, all things are possible! In recent weeks I've spoken to many of you who are feeling quite the opposite: you have lost hope, are feeling depressed, and don't believe much of anything good is possible.

King David had his ups and downs. If you don't believe me, read the Psalms. The difficult days of his life prepared him to lead a nation and write psalms that inspire us 3000 years later.

Sometimes the seasons of our life aren't always synched up with the seasons of the year. When many people are full of joy, you may be in the doldrums. Ecclesiastes says there's a time and a season for everything. It may be winter in your life now, but spring is just around the corner.

David had a rough winter in his life before he became King of Israel.

John Ortberg tells the story of how David hid in caves to escape Saul in "If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat." Although I'd read the story about hiding in caves before, I didn't realize that David was on the run from Saul for about 10 years. In my mind he went from the youth who slew Goliath to King David in a short period of time.

Here's what really happened: after being a shepherd and slaying Goliath, he was a musician in King Saul's court. From there he became a warrior and rose to become the most successful officer in the army. At that point Saul became jealous (see 1 Samuel 18: 7-9). He tried various ways of killing David, including using his daughter Michal as a snare. The trap didn't work; in fact, David married Michal.

As the story progresses, David loses his job (here's our link), loses his wife (she was given to another man by her father), loses his best friend (Saul's son Jonathan), loses his mentor (Samuel, who had anointed him when he was just a shepherd boy, and had continued to give David advice over the years -- he died of old age), he lost his friend Ahimelech and 84 other priests who had sided with him (they were killed by Doeg the Edomite because they had protected David), and he had survived a few assassination attempts (Saul himself hurled a spear at him, 1 Samuel 20:33).

Are you getting the picture here? Things weren't going so well for David.

David hid in caves; he was constantly on the run from Saul's army, just like Saddam Hussein did when he was hiding from the U.S. armed forces. David found 600 loyal men and their families who stuck with him. Things got even worse when David and his men returned from some raids on nearby towns to find that their city, Ziklag, had been burned to the ground and all their wives, sons and daughters had been taken captive by the Amalakites. Now even his loyal men turned on him. Ortberg says what David did next was one of the great statements in scripture (1 Samuel 30:6): "David found strength in the Lord his God."

The story ends well. David and his men killed the Amalakites and got back their wives, children and all their possessions that had been taken as plunder. The Philistines killed Saul and his sons. David was anointed king, and he became the greatest king in the Bible, a man after God's own heart. And he was the father (many generations removed) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Ortberg says the cave is a wonderful place to find that you are loved by God. He says, "The cave is where God does some of his best work in molding and shaping human lives. Sometimes when all the props and crutches in your life get stripped away and you find you have only God, you discover that God is enough." (p.139)

How many of you reading this message today are in a cave right now? I've spent quite a bit of time in caves myself these past few years, and I am a better man for it. Use this cave time to allow God to mold and shape you. Use this time for good. It has a purpose. God has a purpose. Like David, there are indeed brighter days ahead for you. It's God's promise to all of us. As we begin a new year, listen to Jesus' words to us, the sheep of his flock:

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." -- John 14:27

Let's all look forward to 2011 with hope in our hearts, optimism in our eyes, and faith in God that through Him, all things are possible! Amen!

2. Success Story: Cuneo Wins in a Four-month Interview Process

We love to hear from you when you land a new position. Please write and let us know how you found your job, what you learned from the experience, and how JobSeekers helped you.

I've learned of several people who've landed jobs over the last couple of weeks. If you've landed too, please let me know. Mark called me a few days before Christmas and then sent this letter last week. Congratulations Mark!

Hey Dave,

I got a job. A full time job. I've been waiting a while to say that – 16 months to be precise. I never would have thought I would be out of a job for so long. It was a very challenging time and I really appreciate the advice and guidance you gave me.

I will be starting with XX in January. I started interviewing with them in August when I was contacted by an external recruiter. Yes that's right, a four-month plus interview process that included a face-to-face interview, several phone interviews, an online evaluation, and a three-week background check.

Dave, thanks again for your help, the ministry of JobSeekers was very meaningful to me. Just knowing that so many skilled and talented people were dealing with the same difficulty that I was dealing with really helped.

May the Lord continue to bless you!

Sincerely,

Mark
