A recent survey of human resource directors in the UK uncovered some common mistakes that job applicants make in the interview process. Chief among the complaints is a lack of preparation for the process. Many applicants neglect to do basic research on the company they are applying to and are thus unable to tell interviewers why they want to work in their company, and how they can be of benefit to it. Some applicants make; spelling mistakes on their CVs and generally exhibit poor writing skills, and others fail to follow the application process correctly. If you fail to prepare properly during the application process, what guarantee do employers have that you will handle your work responsibilities professionally?
