Your education and credentials are impeccable. You have years of experience in your field. You have researched, prepared, and carefully tailored your résumé, but somehow, your job applications are still being rejected. What are you doing wrong?

The job hunting cycle can be stressful, and with the ease of online applications, thousands of applicants may apply for a single job opening, making it difficult to break free. Getting to a manageable selection requires hiring managers to be ruthless in discarding candidates.

You can avoid these mistakes, which will automatically disqualify you. We have spoken to HR, recruitment, and résumé experts to identify your errors. Discover the 10 most common reasons for a rejected job application, and how to overcome them!

You did not highlight your transferrable skills

As Matthew Warzel, a certified recruiter and president of MJW Careers, explains, hiring managers are looking for candidates who can seamlessly transition from one job to the next.

You should highlight your transferable skills on your résumé and LinkedIn profile if your experience does not exactly match the job description.

When you don’t know how your skills will translate to a new job, you’ll have to endure another rejection on your job application. You can help by following up with the recruiter at this point. Hopefully, you will receive a response that will assist you in tailoring your résumé for the next opportunity. Ask politely if they can suggest improvements that could improve your chances of getting hired.
