Job hunting is a stressful time in anyone’s life, and it’s easy to find yourself obsessing over every little detail of your resume or of that last interview. But not all of those details are important. Here are a few things hiring managers don’t care about, and what you can do instead of focusing on those things. The truth is that most hiring managers don’t care much about a fancy-looking resume. While you might think having the slickest-looking resume on the pile will help you stand out, it won’t make much of an impression unless you’re applying for a design position. No employer is going to hire you because your resume is pretty. Instead, create a readable document that highlights your best professional accomplishments. After an interview, you might think you need to send a handwritten thank you note to your interviewer. It’s always a challenge figuring out how to follow up. But most managers don’t care about the how, they only care if they actually get the follow-up. If you want your note to stand out, put some information in there that shows the manager that you were paying close attention to the interview. Job hunting is stressful enough already; don’t stress out about the wrong things! Read the full article here: 5 Things Job Candidates Obsess Over That Hiring Managers Don’t Care About
