Two days ago I posted a job opportunity in one of those sites where engineers and computer professionals watch often, I described the company and the profile I was looking for very carefully, in the end of the profile I made one simple request:

Include your salary expectation

I did it in the late evening and early in the morning it was already appearing in the website and I already received a bunch of applications. Checking one by one, I noted that most of the applications didn’t do the simple request, like usual.

How experienced people don’t realize this can show so much about them:

  1. You have no attention
  2. You ignored a simple request

Some times I think people don’t care about quality, they just want to send as much resumes as possible. For me and most of the companies is very simple, click delete.
