💥 Simple Mistake That Keeps People From Landing a State Job Most people think they weren’t qualified. But sometimes it’s more simple than that: They just didn’t follow the application instructions. 📌 If a job requires a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ), and you skip it or format it wrong? You’re automatically disqualified. Here’s how to avoid that: ✅ Always check if the job requires an SOQ ✅ Follow every instruction: word count, format, prompts ✅ Don’t recycle an old SOQ — tailor it every time ✅ Use clear examples that match the job’s duties 🧠 Treat the SOQ like your cover letter + interview combined. You have to get it right. 🔗 Ready to apply (and not get screened out)? Start here: bit.ly/EDD-Jobs
