2. Having Multiple Online Profiles: Having multiple online profiles is a very common trend in recent times. Most candidates even have a tendency to have more than two online profiles, often paradoxical to the other.



In this information era, where every piece of available data is scrutinized thoroughly, and having multiple profiles can damage your image. Recruiters in all probability will avoid such profiles at any given time and will almost certainly doubt the credentials of such applicants.



3. Email Etiquette: It is essential for a job applicant to follow certain etiquettes while emailing his CV to the HR Manager to create a positive impression.



It is essential for a job applicant to avoid misspelling the name of the recruiter to whom the email is intended, as in all probability they would be offended with such mistakes and correspondingly the applicant’s chances of getting an interview call are reduced drastically.



Make it a point to avoid typing the covering note or any part of the CV with the Caps lock on. Subject line should never be kept vacant and the position you are applying for should be clearly mentioned. And never forward the CV as an attachment without a cover letter or an accompanying mail.
