Studies have proved that about ninety percent of hiring employers avoid a candidate who cheats in his job application, however good or qualified the candidate may be. Dishonesty is a vice that every manager cannot stand.
It is also important to follow instructions listed on the job vacancy notice to the latter. Failure to adhere to the instructions would result in the employer not short listing your application. Therefore, stick to the basic directives which would include how your application should be packaged and delivered.
Most applicants are in such a hurry and fail to peruse through their application. It is imperative to make sure that you have included all the necessary documents. Also confirm whether your letter of application is grammatically correct; you can ensure this by letting someone else to proofread for you.
