Every neck tattoo might as well read “unemployable”. Lets face it, If you think neck tattoos are cool then you probably have more pressing problems hindering your ability to find work.
2. Lack of Experience.

It’s probably not news to you, but a college degree no longer guarantees a job. Take advantage of internship opportunities to show employers you have real experience in your desired field.
3. Ridiculous Social Media Posts

Some argue that your last tweet is more important than your resume. There’s no question employers use social media to qualify candidates, so don’t post anything publicly that you don’t want them to see.
4. Not Understanding Basic Business Etiquette

Lack of eye contact or poor handshakes can make an interviewer perceive you as expressing lack of confidence or even dishonesty. Social skills can be just as important as credentials. Every job boils down to working with people.
5. Poor Appearances
Dress the part. Interviewers will make conclusions about you before you even open your mouth.
6. You Aren’t Realistic.
Accenture recently released a study proving grads have their employment expectations set too high. If you just graduated and you’re expecting 100k job offers to be piling up, you won’t be employed anytime soon.
