Don't Be a Serial Candidate Who Applies for Every Position

By Anika Wilson

If your job search strategy involves applying to every role you come acrossโ€”stop and rethink it.

Recruiters and hiring managers notice when someoneโ€™s resume shows up for every open position, regardless of fit. It comes across as desperate, unfocused, and worst of allโ€”unprepared.

๐ŸŽฏ Instead, be intentional.

โ€ข Apply only for roles that align with your skills, values, and career goals.
โ€ข Tailor your resume and cover letter to show why you're a strong fit for that specific role.
โ€ข Do your homework on the company and cultureโ€”are you really excited about what they do?

Quality beats quantity every time.

Five well-researched, customized applications will get you further than 50 rushed ones.
Stand out by being strategic, not by spamming.
