☆ Ignoring the job requirements and applying for the wrong jobs
☆ Having unrealistic expectations and making unrealistic demands
☆ Expecting people to drop everything to take care of your personal needs and to do all the hard work for you
☆ Bossing people around and expect them to do whatever you want
☆ Expecting people to put their time at your disposal to coach you for free
☆ Stalking, harassing, threatening or even insulting
☆ Badmouthing previous employers or industry professionals or slandering them social media
☆ Oversharing personal information
☆ Not showing emotional intelligence
☆ Being overly emotional after being rejected for a job application
Yes this post will seem harsh to some, but the number of candidates who do these things and then complain or don’t understand why people don’t want to work with them is crazy.
Yes, the job search can be nerve-racking, but it doesn’t exempt anyone from being professional.Professionalism matters a lot to recruiters and families who employ nannies. And many candidates ruin their job search themselves with these unprofessional attitudes…
Remember that no one will want to recommend or hire you if you do these unprofessional things, no matter how experienced or qualified you are, so if you decide to not change anything and screw up everything, only blame yourself!
