🔴I want to share my experience about seeking a reference for a job ❗ Recently, one of the good MNCs had an open position for a Data Analyst role. To increase my chances of getting a call from HR, I was searching for someone within the organization to refer me—a strategy I always follow. Yesterday, I approached a member of the organization where I wanted to apply and asked for a reference. He agreed but requested some clarification and information first. Here’s how our conversation went: He asked to go through my resume, saying he didn’t want to simply refer me without checking my qualifications first. I agreed it was a good idea. 📄 He asked about the years of experience required for the role, and I answered all his related questions. 🕵️♂️ He assured me he could refer me as long as the criteria matched. ✅ After that, I asked how long it would take to check my details, and he responded that, given how long I had been waiting for an opportunity, a few more hours wouldn’t hurt. ⏳ He also questioned my communication skills and knowledge, which I confirmed were solid. 🗣️ Later, he called me again to check my communication skills, expressing doubts about my energy and manner of speaking. I adjusted my tone, and he agreed to refer me the next day. However, he then messaged me saying he would not refer my profile after all. I thanked him for his time. 🤷♂️ Interestingly, this person was neither an HR professional nor a manager, but a non-tech employee with a lot of attitude. 🙄 Does this make sense? If someone is asking for help and you behave this way, is it good human nature? Simply, if you can refer someone, say yes and proceed, or if not, just skip it. 🤔 Despite this incident, most people I've reached out to have been kind and willing to help. There are many who are ready to lend a hand, but unfortunately, there are also some who overact and complicate matters. 🌟 #JobSearch #Networking #Professionalism #KindnessMatters

Maybe 10 years ago, job descriptions for software engineers listed every possible technology that might be remotely related to the job. These days, it often feels like job descriptions are generated by AI, leading to irrelevant lists of skills. Without consulting with someone technical, these descriptions can become just noise. Garbage In, Garbage Out. Hence, it's not a surprise that only a single-digit percent of relevant applications were received. In the last couple of weeks, I've seen fewer than five good job descriptions.

Applying for Data Analyst Jobs? Avoid These Common CV Mistakes! I've been applying for data analyst roles in London and recently received some invaluable feedback from a job rejection. Here are the key takeaways to help us all stand out in the competitive job market: Hiding Key Achievements - Showcase your accomplishments prominently. Don't bury important information in less visible sections. Listing Duties Instead of Achievements - Highlight your impact. Quantify your achievements and explain how they benefited your previous employers. Clichéd Personal Statements - Make your personal statement unique and engaging. Focus on how you add value, not on generic qualities. Lack of Research - Tailor your CV to the job. Research the role and include relevant skills and experiences. Unprofessional Email Address - Use a professional email address. Avoid nicknames or informal addresses. Poor File Naming - Save your CV with a professional filename, e.g., "FirstName_LastName_CV.pdf". Including Salary Details - Leave out salary expectations. Focus on securing an interview first. Keyword Stuffing - Write naturally. Keywords are important, but your CV should be readable and human-centric. Remember, you’ve only got one chance to make a first impression.

Dear Candidate, Oversharing can jeopardize your chances of getting a job. Recently, during an interview with a client for a data analyst position, a promising candidate impressed us with his answers and experience. However, when we inquired about the extent of his exposure to data, he went as far as presenting data from his current employer to us. We were surprised and disappointed at the same time. There is a CONFIDENTIALITY/NON-DISCLOSURE CLAUSE in your employment letter for a reason which is to protect sensitive company information. You can't be sharing information about your company just to gain employment in another company. This action led us to doubt whether he would handle the company's information with care if hired. In an interview session be cautious of this. There are situations in which recruiters ask you leading questions to ascertain if you can confidentially handle information, if you fall for this, believe me, it will cost you that role you are interviewing for. Remember, sharing too much can hinder your chances of getting the job you desire. #recruitment #careertips #employee

People on LinkedIn are writing a complete post about an open position at their organisation. Still they can't add one more line providing the link to the open position or an email Id for someone to share the resume. Just few days back I saw a post with a mirror selfie having caption "We are hiring. DM your resume". And the best part is that people were commenting "interested" in that post too 😅 #dataanalytics #businessintelligence #data

Is mass applying for jobs the right strategy? As a recruiter, I have always advised against it. There are many articles on the Internet, saying mass applying for jobs is the right strategy. 🙄 There are even some websites allowing easier mass/bulk application. I had no idea about those! Did you? 🤓 You may think it increases your odds of landing the right job, but it's not the case. 🙅♂️ Sending 100 applications for roles that are completely irrelevant to you won't help your odds. 💁♀️ Sending just a couple for the roles that are right for you - that will. 👨💻 Most companies nowadays use some kind of a system that tracks applications. Recruiters can see how many times you've applied across different roles. Especially if it's a short time window. 🤔 What would they think if you applied once for a project manager and a second time for a data engineer? That you have no idea what you are looking for and you are just mass applying. It's really easy to spot. 👉 I promise your CV and profile will stand out from those bulk ones when you are well-aligned with the job. #recruitment #jobsearch #jobapplicationtips

Check out this post by Munna Das on how to cleverly try to grab the opportunities in a different way where you have a lot of competition. Rather than approaching the same person, you can look for other people from the same organisation with the job location and reach out to them to get a referral. #dataanalyst #referraltips #jobstartegy

Career Update: It's been almost 6 months that I'm in job search for analyst, data scientist and data visualization developer roles. With countless no. of applications and few interviews, I'm still in job search. Here are my few takeways from my application strategies, 1. Resume tailoring: I tailor my resume for almost every job that I apply for using the keywords, a main point that I'd like to mention is never changed the work that I did, changed only the keywords 2. Maintained 6-8 bullets in each experience, that showcases the key points in the projects I've worked on. 3. I use a single page ATS friendly resume (scored 93 on Resume Worded), so that it doesn't consume much of the recruiters time for scrutiny. 4. I use job boards like Otta.com, Jobright.ai and every company's career page that has posted a job on LinkedIn. The only reason I do this is because these job boards are having less competition when compared to other job boards. 5. I use InMails on LinkedIn to reach out to recruiters, seniors for referrals or to find out the job openings. 6. I use a strategy which I'm not sure whether it's working or not, to be an among the early applicants and to stay ahead in the process of applications, I start applying for jobs early in the morning. Job Seekers - Kindly let me know whether I need to change my job search strategies or add few more tricks to the process and I'm open for discussions too, I love that :-) Recruiters/Senior Executives - Kindly let me know if there are any openings in your current teams/organizations, I'd love to be referred 😁 P.S.: I'm in job search as I'm looking for a more challenging role, exciting team and a growth-driven organization. #jobsearch #jobinterviews #recruitment #job_openings #openings #jobfair #hiring #recruiting #remotework #gethired
