Advice Corner: Why You Aren't Being Called for an Interview

As a Human Resources Director, I am frequently asked what the biggest mistake job applicants make in applying for a job.  The answer is simple and may surprise some people.  The biggest mistake applicants make when applying for a job is not bothering to read trhough their cover letter, resume and other documents.  I will not contact an interviewee who makes a spelling error in his or her cover letter or resume.  It is that simple.  I recommend that you read through your resume and other documents several times and then ask a friend or trusted colleague to do the same. 

It's that simple.  Don't be an Unemployable Idiot.
