If you are in the process of looking for a new job, these job hunting mistakes will help you know what not to do. From recruitment agency Armstrong Appointments, the infographic entitled '10 Job Hunting Mistakes to Avoid' should make you more successful in finding the right role for you.
Passing on responsibility and blaming other people for your struggles in finding a new position is not a good outlook to have. Even though people often say looking for a job is a full-time job, making it your sole focus isn't healthy, nor is taking rejection personally. Try to find less competitive places to search, like recommendations, referrals and professional networks. You should also refrain from listing everything you've ever done and applying for every job you see. Also remember to push yourself and that times have changed.
