It’s Patra Frame time again. Here she provides some great
insight into common pitfalls which I have seen trip up many professionals who
should know better. Actually perhaps I
should say ‘proffesionals’, because I’ve lost count of how many CVs and resumes I have seen where someone
describes themselves as ‘a senior management
proffesional’ or similar.
Arrogant attitudes towards potential employer’s staff are
another risk, especially for senior job hunters. If you greet the receptionist
with a friendly and happy attitude, they will quite probably say something good
about you to the people that will decide whether or not to hire you. If you are
lofty and arrogant, then guess what happens?
Patra calls this ‘silly self sabotage’ and yet too often, it's
these little things which get overlooked by job hunters that ultimately stop
them getting hired.
