So many candidates submit their applications without even reading carefully the job descriptions! They just check the salary or simply scan the job descriptions for the word “ROTA” (or for another keyword), and that’s enough for them to decide to apply.
Recruiters and employers don’t have time for time-wasters, if you don’t show them that you have read the job description and that you understand the requirements, they probably won’t bother with your application…
By carefully analysing the job advertisement, you can tailor your resume, cover letter, and other application materials to highlight the skills and experiences that are directly relevant to the position. This increases the chances of your application standing out to the Recruiter or employer.
Careful reading of the job ad also allows you to identify any deal-breakers, which may not be suitable for you.
If the job posting doesn’t contain enough information, simply contact the recruiter and ask to decide if you want to apply!
