If you have been searching for a job for a month or more with no success there is a very good chance that you are asking yourself \u201cWhy can’t I find a job?\u201d This article aims to try and answer that question for you. Let\u2019s look at some of the most common reasons people struggle to find a job, and how you can fix the reasons that apply to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before we dive right into the reasons people struggle to find a job, I do want to mention that job hunting is hardly ever fun for anyone. Quite often people who are searching for a new job are facing other challenges in their lives. These challenges are often exaggerated under the stress of not being able to find a new job. If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and frustrated with the job search just know that you are not alone. It will all work out eventually and the stress of the job search will be a distant memory! Believe me, I have been there before.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Why Can’t I Find a Job?”<\/h2>\n

So back to the issue at hand, if you are sending out your CV, and filling in application forms daily but having no success these are some of the mistakes you might be making. Obviously not all of these will apply to you. Read through the list and be honest about the mistakes you are making, then get back on the horse and start applying again!<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Your experience and skills are not relevant to the position you are applying for.<\/h3>\n

Many job seekers will often just send their CVs off to as many vacancies as possible. This is not the best method of finding a job. You need to ensure that the skills and experience you list on your CV match the job description of the vacancy. This means that you should be adjusting your CV for every position you apply for. If the position requires you to have any specialized skills or knowledge you need to demonstrate that you have these skills. <\/span><\/p>\n

Remember, most hiring managers and recruiters receive hundreds of applications every single day. If your CV does not stand out by highlighting the skills that they are looking, for your application will end up in the trash. The hiring manager will make this decision in 10 seconds or less. If you are not sure how to write a great CV check out this article on CV writing tips<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) There are mistakes in your CV or cover letter.<\/h3>\n

This is such an obvious and easy to correct the problem. Yet job seekers send out poorly written CVs on a daily basis. Remember your application is the first impression you are creating with a hiring manager. If they perceive you as sloppy because of simple mistakes in your CV there is a very good chance that they will ignore your application. <\/span><\/p>\n

The solution to this is to read through your CV at least twice and make sure that you are confident that there are no errors. When you are sure it is 100% correct challenge a friend to find any mistakes on the CV. Maybe even offer them a reward like a cold drink or chocolate if they can find any mistakes. This way when you do send it to an employer, you can do so with absolute confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) You have not followed the application instructions correctly.<\/h3>\n

This is similar to point number two, essentially it creates a bad first impression. If there are any application instructions such as \u201cPlease send a recent head and shoulders photo\u201d or \u201cPlease send your CV in Word format,\u201d you need to make sure you apply as directed. There is a reason the company would like whatever they are asking for and if you have not sent it or followed instructions your application could easily be overlooked. Even if you are a perfect fit for the position. <\/span><\/p>\n

Following instructions is simple, it might mean that applying for the position takes a little longer, but it’s worth it in the end. If you do not do what is asked you only have yourself to blame the next time you ask \u201cWhy can\u2019t I find a job.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

4) An unclear employment timeline, or large gaps in-between jobs.<\/h3>\n

Our employment history does play a large part in whether or not we will be considered for vacancies. Below are some red lights employers might be picking up on your CV;<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Multiple positions with less than a year worked at the company.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Large gaps of unemployment on your CV.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Unclear employment timeline.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I know we can\u2019t change our past, however, if you have any of these red lights on your CV you need to make sure you give detailed and valid reasons for them. Also, make sure your work history runs from the most recent backwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

    5) You are applying for jobs you are not qualified for.<\/h3>\n

    It is great to have ambition, I admire it. However, if you have been applying to jobs that you are extremely under-qualified for you should not be surprised that you have not managed to find a job yet. It is not worth the frustration of getting rejected on a daily basis. Rather sit down again, take a good hard look at your skills and qualifications, and start applying for positions that are a fit for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Usually, people start to apply for positions they are not qualified for because they are expecting a larger salary. In my opinion, it is better to have a job that pays something than sitting for months on end asking yourself \u201cWhy can\u2019t I find a job?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you are truly determined you can always upskill yourself<\/a> by enrolling in a correspondence course and completing the required qualifications while working in a lower-level position. Once your qualification is complete you will be in a much better position to get the job you were aiming for.<\/span><\/p>\n

    After an interview<\/h2>\n

    The above answers to \u201cWhy can\u2019t I find a job\u201d have been dealing with application scenarios. But what if your applications are perfect and you have been attending numerous interviews with no luck, what interview mistakes could you be making? <\/span><\/p>\n

    6) You made a bad first impression.<\/h3>\n

    There are many ways that you could make a bad first impression. Among these are showing up late for an interview or dressing inappropriately. These are generally simple mistakes that should never be made. <\/span><\/p>\n

    If I am being honest here, making a bad first impression could only be part of the problem. The truth is, not only do you not<\/strong> want to make a bad first impression, but you want to make a great first impression that ensures you are remembered by your interviewer. Be on time, make sure you smile confidently and give a firm handshake. Stand out!<\/span><\/p>\n

    7) You did not prepare for the interview.<\/h3>\n

    I have compiled an interview preparation checklist<\/a>. I recommend you start preparing for the interview a minimum of 48 hours before the interview. Follow my checklist, prepare correctly and you won\u2019t be asking, \u201cWhy can\u2019t I get a job,\u201d for much longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A major preparation flaw with candidates is not knowing enough about the company they are applying to. Make sure you research them thoroughly and prepare questions based on this research that will demonstrate that you have looked into the company. <\/span><\/p>\n

    How should you use this information to fix the \u201cWhy can’t I get a job\u201d question?<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Well, firstly you need to be honest with yourself. If you’re truly struggling to find a job your time will be better spent identifying the mistakes you are making and correcting them than just blindly carrying on. I am not saying that it will be easy, but you can do it! <\/span><\/p>\n

    If you are truly having difficulty finding a job I recommend that you bookmark this page right now. Go make yourself a cup of tea or coffee come back in 20 minutes and read through this post again. Write down each point on a piece of paper that you feel applies to you, when you have the issues you need to fix written down actually fixing them will become a reality and will feel achievable.<\/span><\/p>\n

    It all starts with preparing a perfect CV.<\/h3>\n
