Great post, and I agree – the basics aren’t as common sense as some people think. I wrote recently about a job posting we did where we got 650 responses, and 63% of applicants shot themselves in the foot – mostly over “common sense” issues.

Scott: It’s amazing how often no-brainers aren’t. Every day I speak to people who don’t know about privacy settings, don’t know how to manage what is posted about them. Consider this step 1. Thanks for the note!

Those are great tips but they should also be no-brainers

Hi Sabrina: You’re right that being perceived
as in-demand can be a good thing. On the other hand you may wish to control how much they know about the rest of your search, and when they know
it. If it’s out there already, you lose that option. Thanks for your thoughts!

On #7: Why is it so terrible for an employer to know that you are interviewing elsewhere? Wouldn’t they expect this? A jobseeker looking at only one place is betting the house.
Also, wouldn’t it make them find you more desirable instead of less desirable as a candidate if they know that other companies might be interested in you?
