Seven Reasons You Didnt Get the Interview


You sit and stare at the phone. You check your email. You check your text messages to see if perhaps you missed that all important call or text message inviting you over to your first appointment whit this company you’ve so wanted to join, but there is nothing. How can this be? You might wonder. Well today we look at some of the reasons why for a number of job seekers, getting that first foot in the door seems such an elusive task.

Cover letter
To start with, examine your cover letter.It probably looks decent enough seeing as you did spend quite some time writing it.

This unfortunately makes it that much easier for them to ignore nearly all of them.
