Introduction
If you’re looking to get a job in this economy, it can be difficult. Many companies are hiring fewer people and there may be hundreds of other applicants applying for the same position as you. This makes it even more important to make sure that your resume is top-notch and shows why you’re the best person for the job. The thing that sets apart applicants from getting an interview call back from an employer is tailoring their resume so that it matches exactly what the employer is looking for in a candidate otherwise why would they want to interview you?
Do your research. Know the company that you're applying to
Look up the company online.
Read their mission statement and vision statements.
Find out who the competitors are, and what they do to differentiate themselves from each other. Find out what sets them apart from other companies in their field.
Find out who the customers are, and how they serve those customers’ needs.
Know what products/services this company offers; how is it different than others in its industry? What are its goals as a business?
Make sure that you match the job description
Make sure that you match the job description.
Do your research and make sure that you’re a good fit for the job, both in terms of experience and personality. If there’s a strict deadline for applying, don’t get frustrated and waste time on an application unless you’re 100% certain that you have what it takes to do the job well. Don’t apply if your background doesn’t match what they’re looking for—this is time wasted that could be spent looking at other opportunities or just relaxing!
Read the actual job description to see what exactly is needed.
There may be more than one type of application required (online form, email submission) so read each carefully before submitting anything.
Make sure that you know your skills and which ones are needed by the employer.
It is important that you know your skills and which ones are needed by the employer. Make sure that you fully understand what they want from this position, so that you can show them how well suited for it you are. You need to show that you are a match for their requirements, as this will help them make their decision in hiring someone who they think will be good at the job.
It’s also important to show that you’re a good fit with the company as well as being able to do it effectively. If a company advertises for someone who has experience in a particular field, then obviously having worked there previously is going help convince them of why they should employ someone like yourself instead of another applicant who may not have any experience at all!
Don't waste time on a job application if there is a strict deadline for applying.
It’s important to avoid wasting time on a job application if there is a strict deadline for applying. You may think that it would be worth your time to apply for a job that you’re not entirely qualified for, but this is not always the case. A job description can be very specific and it may even require that applicants have certain qualifications or experience in order to be considered.
If the job description does not specify any requirements, then you should consider whether or not your background suits this position before submitting an application. If you don’t have enough experience in one area of the business, it makes sense to do some research and see if there are ways you can get more experience before applying.
Do not get frustrated with the job application process.
Don’t give up. As you might have guessed, this is the key to applying for jobs successfully. If you think your application was rejected because of something that happened in the last five minutes, it’s time to find another job. The same goes if there are only one or two positions available at a company, and they can’t possibly need all those things at once! It’s okay to be discouraged sometimes—but don’t let it get too far before looking for another job opportunity elsewhere.
Don’t be discouraged by rejection or delays from companies who haven’t responded yet (or at all). Companies may lose interest in hiring someone quickly when there are many applicants; or perhaps they’re waiting until later on down the line so as not to overwhelm HR with applications just yet! Again: don’t get frustrated about these things either way–just keep moving forward towards what matters most: finding an employer who appreciates both your skillset and personality traits as much as possible within their current industry needs.”
Tailor your resume and cover letter specifically towards that position.
It is important to read the job description carefully so that you can tailor your resume and cover letter specifically towards that position. Read the actual job description to see what exactly is needed, this way you can tailor your resume and cover letter specifically towards that position.
Look for the keywords in the description, then make sure your skills match those keywords as closely as possible. If any requirements are listed on the job advertisement, make sure that you meet all of them before applying for a job at that company. Also remember: if you’re a good fit for a particular role (you have relevant experience in an industry or field), highlight these qualifications in your application materials (cover letter and resume).
Look up the company online, read their mission statement and get a feel for what they are looking for in a candidate
Before you apply to a job listing, it’s important to learn as much as possible about the company. Here are some tips on how to do that:
Look up the company online, read their mission statement and get a feel for what they are looking for in a candidate.
Read reviews from current/past employees about their experiences at this particular employer. You might find out some things that could help or hurt your chances of getting hired if you’re interested in working there!
Find out which projects they’ve worked on recently or what industry trends they’re focusing on right now by reading through recent blog posts or press releases on their website.
The key to getting a call back from an employer
The key to getting a call back from an employer is tailoring your resume and cover letter so that it matches exactly what the employer is looking for in a candidate, otherwise why would they want to interview you?
Here are some tips:
Make sure that your skills match what they are looking for. If they ask for experience with C++ and you’ve never used it before, then don’t try to apply anyway! You will just waste both your time and theirs. Instead, find out if there is something else that you can do that would be similar enough so that they might consider hiring you (for example, perhaps being able to program in Python instead of C++) or taking some courses online at Udemy or Coursera would help get your foot in the door.
Don’t spend too much time on job applications if there’s only one day left until the deadline! It’s better just not applying than sending out an application when everyone else has already done so because chances are slim (or none) of landing an interview at this point anyways due to competition being so high among applicants who meet all requirements listed by employers specifically stated within their posting notifications.”

This is the most important step in applying for a job and should not be overlooked. Tailor your resume and cover letter to match exactly what the employer is looking for in a candidate, otherwise why would they want to interview you
