Why can’t you get a job?
Do you feel like no matter what you do or how many skills you have, you still can’t get a job? Based on our experience as one of the top employment agencies in Florida, we have some reasons why no one is hiring you. However, do not be discouraged, as there are ways to turn the situation around.
1. Attitude
You don’t have to be a Suzie (or Sam) Sunshine all the time, but a bad attitude can largely contribute to the outcome of your job search. If the first thing out of your mouth is a complaint upon walking in the door to your interview, then you may want to adjust your approach. We know the whole process is no fun, but try to stay upbeat or, at the very least, keep your negative thoughts to yourself. No one wants to hire someone whiny.
2. Confidence
Beyond your education and work experience, companies seek employees who believe in themselves. Interviewers can sense a lack of confidence and it is not an attractive quality in a prospective candidate. Employers want to hire someone who is self-assured and is able sell themselves. They want to be convinced that you can do the job well.
3. Ability to Follow Directions
When asked to prepare something for a potential employer, it is crucial that you follow their directions to a T. If you cannot do as requested for an interview, then how can you be trusted to handle yourself in a work environment?
4. Qualifications
It may seem obvious, but if you are not qualified for a position then don’t apply. Be realistic. If the position you applied for requires a certification that you are lacking, it is very unlikely that you will get the job. Be sure to read the job descriptions thoroughly and check your experience against the company’s credentials.
5. Don’t Fit Company Culture
Not everyone is going to be a good fit for each job, no matter how versatile they may be. Sometimes a person’s qualifications and personality simply do not match the company for which they are applying. However, we do believe that there is a position for everybody.
