When a recruiter reaches out to you, decline politely if you’re not interested instead of ignoring their message.
– Do not leave comments on posts like “interested” or “review my profile”. Just follow the instructions on the post to apply or directly message the person privately.
– Always keep your message brief. Hiring managers and recruiters may be getting lots of messages so may not have time to know your personal story.
– Google for tips on writing a good resume and follow the instructions on improving your resume.
– Do not exaggerate or lie on your resume about your skills or accomplishments.
For example: a fresh graduate is usually not an expert on anything. Making such a claim is not helpful.
– Don’t project yourself as the lead of an effort if you’ve not lead the project.
– Keep your LinkedIn title honest. Don’t inflate your title in anticipation of your next role.
– Prepare for interviews.
– Do mock interviews.
– Pray.
– Give charity.
– Be good to parents.
– Get in touch with relatives.
