5. Three Job Search Mistakes That Could Be Costing You Interviews – Careerology

If you’re looking for a new job, how do you know whether your job search is actually working?Sending more applications might feel productive. Spending hours scrolling through vacancies might feel like job searching.And doing everything online from the comfort of your laptop might certainly feel easier.But none of those things necessarily gets you closer to a job offer. In this episode of The Careerology Podcast, Dr Claire Wrynne shares three common job-search mistakes she sees people making again and again:​Prioritising the number of applications over their quality;​Hiding behind a screen instead of talking to real people; and​Moving straight on after rejection without trying to learn what went wrong. You’ll discover why a smaller number of carefully targeted applications can be more useful than sending the same CV everywhere, why human conversations still matter in a very digital job market, and how asking for feedback can help you improve your next application.If your job search feels incredibly busy but isn’t producing interviews, this episode might help you work out why.Because successful job searching isn’t about doing more.It’s about doing more of the things that actually work. ____________________Got a question?

Meet Your Host

Hi, I’m Claire!

I’m a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, career coach and founder of Careerology.

I’ve spent over 24 years helping people navigate career decisions, overcome obstacles and find their way forward at work.

One thing I’ve learnt is this: career decisions are rarely straightforward. And the usual advice to “just follow your passion” isn’t particularly helpful when you’ve got bills to pay.

That’s why I created The Careerology Podcast.

I wanted to make professional career advice more accessible, with practical ideas you can actually use, whatever stage of your career you’re at.

So, whether you’re ready to make a big change or simply exploring your options, I’d love you to join me.
