Qualifications DO Matter

When applying to jobs online it all so often becomes easy to give up and start to apply to everything and anything. This may seem like a brilliant maneuver at the time, but in reality you are most likely losing minutes in your day you’ll never get back.

When taking the time to apply to online postings, make sure you are qualified in every aspect. If the posting states that you need a specific amount of years of experience, make sure you have just that. Also, don’t overlook the fact that the position may require industry specific knowledge. A company looking for a specialist with 3-5 years of experience in the Software industry will most likely pass by a resume of an individual with 10+ years of experience in the Aviation industry.

So, if you haven’t heard back about the position requiring more years of experience than you possess, chances are you won’t. But don’t fret; there is a perfect position out there for your skill set and qualifications.

If you have 3-5 years of experience as a Marketing Communications Specialist in a business environment in the Technology industry, e-mail your resume to resumes@gocpi.com.
