A new survey found the top five mistakes people make when they apply for jobs, and all of them seem like they’d be pretty easy to fix. Check ’em out . . .

1. 84% of people don’t find out the name of the person doing the hiring and personalize their email to them.

2. 57% don’t send a thank you note after an interview . . . not even an email.

3. 54% don’t customize their resume based on the job they’re applying for.

4. 45% don’t include a cover letter.

5. And 37% don’t follow up after they send in their application, which would help them stand out.
