Here are 5 things you MUST check before clicking “Apply” 👇
---
1️⃣ Job Title vs. Responsibilities
Don’t take job titles at face value.
Sometimes:
“Associate” roles carry manager-level responsibilities
“Coordinator” roles require advanced leadership
“Assistant” roles include complete operations handling
🔍 Focus on verbs like: lead, own, manage, coordinate, support.
These reveal the actual scope of work.
👉 Apply for roles that grow you — not ones that burn you out.
---
2️⃣ Key Skills & Keywords (ATS Essentials)
Recruiters and ATS systems scan for keywords directly from the job description.
✔ Identify the top 5–7 skills/tools
✔ Add them naturally to your CV + LinkedIn
✔ Update even 10–15% of your CV per job
👉 This alone can significantly increase your interview calls.
---
3️⃣ Culture & Values Clues
Read between the lines of job descriptions:
“Fast-paced” / “Autonomous” → high-pressure environment
“Collaborative” / “Inclusive” → people-first culture
Check their website, employee posts, and reviews for consistency.
👉 You aren’t just applying for a job — you’re choosing your next work environment.
---
4️⃣ Application Instructions
Most job seekers ignore this part and lose the opportunity before applying.
Companies may ask for:
📎 Portfolio
✉️ Cover letter
📂 A specific file name
📝 CV in PDF only
Missing these shows poor attention to detail.
👉 Your first impression starts before you click apply.
---
5️⃣ Know Your “Why”
Ask yourself:
Why do I want this job?
How does it align with my goals?
Do I show this clearly in my CV + interview?
A clear why makes you stand out instantly.
🎯 Don’t just apply — align.
When your direction matches the opportunity, you’ll spend less time applying and more time interviewing.
