  Here are some tips to help you land your dream job and avoid making fatal mistakes that could make you look like a dummy more than anything else.

  1. Read the ad. Review the ad and think how you can describe yourself as the one who could perform the elements outlined there.

  2. Make sure you’re qualified.

  3. Don’t use gimmicks. No to fancy fonts and flashy paper.

  4. Don’t use form letters. It’s easy to make mistakes and give generalized information.

  5. Make sure you know what your references are going to say about you.

  6. Be patient. Don’t annoy the search committee.

  7. Do your homework. Be informed about the institution and the department.

  8. Don’t monopolize the conversation.

  9. Don’t disparage your former institution or colleagues.

  10. Don’t get desperate.

  Even though job aggregates promise your job seeking life to be easier, some tend to be disgruntled about it. Aside from the fact that they’re more complicated, most job aggregates cannot really return the exact enquiry people are looking for. These sites are based on keyword search—and that keyword search that’s supposed to make the lives of people easier, is the one that makes it more difficult for job seekers to find the job they’re looking for. Some job aggregates are not strictly monitored and so, companies who wish to up their ad hits, include lots of keywords even though it’s not related to their job post.
