Hence, be sure to mention your Key Skills.
Fill the complete job application form: Filling job applications can be extremely time consuming. If you are applying for a job, then “Do It Right”; by completing the entire application. Anything less will make you appear as lazy. Recruiters are not keen on candidates who lack enthusiasm.

Maintain a strong online brand: In order to make it as easy for recruiters to get to know you and your career ambitions; it’s more important than ever, to build a strong online personal brand. Take out time to optimize your online data.
