There can be a variety of reasons why job candidates in South Africa or anywhere else may not follow the instructions when applying for jobs. Some possible reasons include:

• Lack of attention to detail: Some candidates may not take the time to thoroughly read and understand the job description and application instructions, leading to mistakes.
• Overconfidence: Some candidates may feel that they are well-qualified for the job and don’t need to follow the instructions to the letter.
• Inexperience: Some candidates may be new to the job market or the application process and may not fully understand the importance of following instructions.
• Technical difficulties: Some candidates may have trouble navigating the online application system or may experience technical issues that prevent them from following the instructions as intended.

Regardless of the reason, not following instructions can be a red flag for employers and can negatively impact a candidate’s chances of getting the job. It’s important for job seekers to take the time to carefully read the instructions and follow them to the best of their ability to increase their chances of making a good impression.
