The Path of Least Resistance

Energy moves down the path of least resistance, be it water in a river or electricity through a circuit. Your life is the same way – it moves down the path of least resistance.  Recruiters also take the path of least resistance when dealing with advert response.

.

What this means practically to you as the job seeker, is that if you make processing your application harder for the recruiter, than the other applicants, they will deal with your application last.  If the job advert asks for a CV of a certain number of pages, a cover page or questions answered, follow the instructions.  The two minutes that it takes you, will put your application ahead of everyone else.  The ten minutes it will take for the recruiter to search their emails for the copy of your CV that you sent last week/ month, or to email you back for the missing information or to send your CV in a format that is readable… may just mean your application is dealt with last.
