Guessing and assuming is a loser's game during your job search (and in life!):
- Assuming that the "Easy Apply Button" will be good enough to land the interview -- be proactive, follow-up!
- Guessing your daily rate or salary on the market -- do your research so you can negotiate best!
- Assuming people will "connect the dots" when reading your CV -- take the time to present your experience concisely and accurately.
- Assuming that landing interviews and getting a job is the responsibility of others (recruiters, managers, luck... Etc.)
- Assuming and guessing will always keep you on the weak spot. Sadly, it's when you will encounter disappointment, surprises and/or confusion.
The best results come when you take ownership and responsibility and know for a fact where you stand, what chances you have, and what your value is.
