In today's competitive job market, you need to do your research before you apply for a position. Here are some common employers traps that you should avoid:

1. Not considering the company's culture before applying for a job. By understanding the company's culture and values, you can better understand how you fit into the organization. This will help you determine whether or not this is a good fit for you and your career goals.

2. Not asking questions about benefits and compensation during the interview process. When interviewing, ask about salary and benefits, including vacation pay, health insurance coverage, 401(k) match and flexible work arrangements. You don't want to get hired only to find out later that there are no benefits or flexible scheduling options available after you've been hired.

3. Not researching the company online prior to applying for a position with them directly through their website or social media accounts (such as Facebook or Twitter). Don't be afraid of reaching out directly to an employer if they have a LinkedIn profile or other social media account listed on their site — they're usually happy to speak with applicants who want to learn more about their company's culture or mission statement."

Out of all your outlined points, the most popular mistake is going ahead to start work without concluding about payment. So when the month ends they will just give you whatever they like, since you didn't come to any agreement. You should take care to hold a conversation regarding that, know how much you would be paid upfront.
Then know as much information about the company as possible. There was a time a friend was asked the name of the company he was after all the interview was done. He didn't know, due to the fact that he has applied to many companies he no longer keep their names in mind anymore. This is a deal breaker, find out about he company goals, their vision, the name of their manager or director. This will always give you an edge over someone that does not know all of these.
Best of luck.

When undergoing any job recruitment it is good to ask important questions not the questions that would be annoying to your interviewers.

When being interviewed you would need to ask questions about salary and benefits with the job you are seeking. it is always of essence to know about vacation pay, health insurance coverage and flexible work arrangement etc

Another thing is that it is good to also research about the company online you are applying for a position. You can search for their social media handle to learn more about them . You can go through their website or platforms or accounts to get more information

You've been looking for a job for a while, and you're getting desperate. You know that the only way you'll get hired is if you can stand out from the crowd and make a good impression on the interviewer.

But how do you do that? What are some ways to make yourself stand out from all those other candidates?

Here are common employers traps you should avoid during job search:

1) Don't send generic thank-you notes after an interview. This might seem like an obvious one, but it's something people often forget about when they're trying to impress an employer who hasn't seen their resume or cover letter before. You want your letter to be personalized, so don't just say "thank you" and sign off with your name say something interesting! If they like what they read, they'll remember your name better than any other candidate's name ever could and they'll remember it longer than any other candidate's name ever will because they'll be thinking about how great you are every time they read it in the future.
