Here are 5 reasons why you should refrain from applying when you know full well that you don’t meet the job requirements

☆ You might be seen as a desperate and unprofessional candidate.

☆ You will wait for an answer and you will be disappointed for nothing

☆ The advertised salary is intended for candidates who meet the requirements

☆ The family may abandon their search if they are not satisfied with the quality of the applications they receive

☆ It’s just a waste of everyone’s time!

 

Finding a nanny position is not easy and it can take a long time.

Candidates want to find work as quickly as possible, so they apply to everything everywhere, even if they know full well that they do not match the job requirements. They just hope that they will end up getting a job by applying so hard.

Applying when you know very well that you are not the right candidate is not a good strategy at all, it reflects poorly on you, and no family will change their requirements to suit to your needs anyway.

Families and recruiters do not have time to devote to unsuitable applications.

Many families actually abandon their search if they are disappointed by the quality of the applications they receive, and many agencies prefer not to share certain job offers online so as not to receive an influx of unsuitable applications.

Furthermore, we must be realistic, if some families are willing to pay more than the average, it is certainly not to have candidates who do not meet their requirements, it is to have the ideal nanny…

If you apply when it is obvious that you are not the right candidate for the position, you should not be surprised if no one responds to you, applying when you’re not the right fit just wastes everyone’s time!
