- Video: Your Application Is DOA If You Miss This
- Tip #4: Passing the 30-Second Visibility Test
You nailed the job application - so why the radio silence? It’s not always about your skills, experience, or the steep competition you’re facing. Sometimes, the problem is FAR simpler… and way more frustrating.
This one is a real cringe moment for applicants. It happens A LOT.
VP of Talent Heather Lother returns this week with a must-know tip to keep your application from disappearing into the void before it even gets reviewed.
There are many reasons why a company might ghost you, but this is the worst of them all – because it’s so darn preventable.
Today’s video gives you easy ways to prevent this from happening, thank goodness.
Video: Your Application Is DOA If You Miss This
The competition on Crossover is fierce.
So, you put in the work. You followed all the steps. And you’re confident you nailed the assessment. But then your reward is…silence.
No feedback. No follow-up. No clue what went wrong.
It’s a scenario Heather sees way too often - and the culprit? A tiny, completely avoidable mistake that instantly disqualifies candidates before they even get a shot.
If you want to stand out, your submission needs to be flawless. But even the most talented candidates make one glaring mistake that gets them auto-rejected before anyone can see their work.
Tip #4: Passing the 30-Second Visibility Test
You hit submit, feeling good about your chances.
But when the hiring team goes to review your work… they can’t even open it.
Your application is locked behind an access error, a broken link, or a document they simply can’t view. And just like that? You’re out.
It doesn’t matter that you were about to change the face of finance, or whatever job you planned on revolutionizing. It’s like showing up for an interview and refusing to open the door.
At Crossover, we’re searching for the best talent from around the world - but if we can’t SEE your work, we can’t evaluate it. And no, we’re not going to chase down a fix.
There are hundreds of other applications to review.
The good news is that fixing this takes less than a minute of your time. Before you submit your application, there’s one crucial test you need to run - one that could be the difference between landing your dream job or ghosting yourself out of the process.
Heather’s breaking it all down in this week’s tip, including the fastest way to check your submission before you hit send.
It’s a simple but powerful way to make sure your hard work actually gets seen - because no matter how talented you are, you won’t get the job if we can’t open your application.
