Heather knows firsthand that even brilliant candidates crash and burn by overlooking the details - details that Crossover puts serious effort into making crystal clear.

Heather sees these ALL THE TIME.

Tip #2: Embrace the Art of Following Directions

We’ve all been there.

Skimming happily through application instructions at lightning speed, assuming we’ve got the gist of things, only to realize we’ve missed a vital detail that tanks the whole effort.

It’s like running a race, only to trip at the finish line because you didn’t tie your shoelaces in a double knot. Reading too fast is self-sabotage disguised as efficiency, and we strongly advise against it.

There will be times when you need to go fast (like in the timed tests) and when you need to slow down and concentrate on what’s being asked of you.

When you skip over essential points or overlook key requirements, you’re not just leaving out details - you’re leaving real opportunities on the table.

You know, the kind that helps you stand out from other candidates.

Slowing down feels like it costs you time but skipping steps costs way more: your shot at a successful application.

It’s the year to get out of your own way and listen to good advice.

Watch this video and learn how a simple shift - reading and using instructions - can infinitely enhance your chances of landing that dream job.

Crossover’s actively searching for candidates who know how to nail the basics and bring the wow factor.
