7 costly mistakes that ruin your chances of receiving the interview call
During my interview coaching sessions, most job seekers share that their major pain point is that they do not receive an interview call in spite of sending multiple applications to various prospective employers. I understand it is a frustrating experience as a professional but you as a job seeker can certainly turn this situation around by avoiding 8 common mistakes. These slip-ups may not seem crucial to you on the face of it but are certainly responsible for you missing out on getting the interview call. So let us think out of the box.

Mistake 2 : A ‘general’ cover letter
Mistake 3 : ‘General’ Resume
Mistake 4: The ‘anonymous’ hiring manager
Mistake 5: No ‘Follow up’
