10 Things that Scream, "Don't Hire Me!"

You just don't get it. You've applied to numerous jobs, been to countless interviews and made several new contacts in your network -- yet here you are -- still sitting on the unemployment list. What gives?Well ... have you ever stopped to consider that what gives might in fact be ... you?It's a hard concept that most job seekers have trouble wrapping their heads around, but applicants frequently -- inadvertently -- raise red flags to hiring managers that immediately scream, "Don't hire me!" But, it might not be entirely your fault.

Here are 10 red flags to be wary of during your next job hunt:

Red flag No. 1: You don't have any contact information on your resume

Red flag No. 2: You have long gaps between jobs on your resume

Red flag No. 3: You aren't prepared for the interview

Red flag No. 4: You didn't provide any references

Red flag No. 5: You only have negative things to say about previous employment

Red flag No. 6: You've held seven different jobs -- in the past six months

Red flag No. 7: You give inconsistent answers in your interview

Red flag No. 8: You lack flexibility

Red flag No. 9: Your application was, in a word -- lazy

Red flag No. 10: You lack objective or ambition
