3. Email Etiquette:

It is essential for a job applicant to follow certain etiquettes while emailing his/her CV to the HR Manager to create a positive impression.

It is essential for a job applicant to avoid misspelling the name of the recruiter to whom the email is intended, as in all probability they would be offended with such mistakes and correspondingly the applicant’s chances of getting an interview call are reduced drastically.

Make it a point to avoid typing the covering note or any part of the CV with the Caps lock on. Subject line should never be kept vacant and the position you are applying for should be clearly mentioned. And never forward the CV as an attachment without a cover letter or an accompanying mail.

4. Not Keeping Track:

It is essential for a job seeker to keep a track of the jobs that he/she has applied for. If they fail to do so, then chances are that they might be caught unaware when the recruiter approaches them in response to their application.

The fact that such candidates don't even remember when or how they applied for that particular position, essentially questions their level of interest.
