Sometimes, it's good not to be "too by the books" when writing things like cover letters and resume. If you're resume looks like every other resume in the pile of 1000, you odds of getting noticed are low. Now, if you put something slightly unconventional (but not unprofessional) on your resume... that might help catch someone's eye. Sometimes, even adding some colored font makes it a lot more noticeable in a pile of black and white resumes.

In today's digital world, your online presence is your personal brand. Employers often check your social media profiles, online portfolios, and personal websites to get a sense of who you are and what you can do. Make sure your online presence is consistent, positive, and professional. Showcase your work, your skills, and your interests. Use platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Medium to network, share your insights, and demonstrate your expertise. Delete or hide any content that could harm your reputation or image.

Do not get into a question and answer and telling about items that is already in your CV. Ask questions and discuss how you can add value resolving the issues of the organization. Be ready. Research prior. Take each interview as a step closer to your goal.

3 Write a compelling cover letter

A cover letter is your opportunity to tell your story and show your personality. It's also a chance to explain why you're interested in the job and why you're a good fit for the company. A good cover letter should be brief, engaging, and customized. It should address the hiring manager by name, show your enthusiasm and research, and highlight your unique value proposition. It should also end with a clear call to action and a thank you note.

Don't be pushy or desperate, but be persistent and courteous. Following up can help you stand out from the other applicants and keep you on top of the employer's mind.

If you get invited for an interview, congratulations! You've made it to the next stage of the hiring process. But don't relax yet. You still need to impress the employer and convince them that you're the best candidate for the job. To prepare for the interview, do your homework on the company, the role, and the industry. Practice your answers to common and behavioral questions, and prepare some questions of your own. Dress appropriately, arrive on time, and be confident and respectful.

Share an elevator pitch video on your LinkedIn profile and attach it to your application e-mail - can do wonders, if it's done right! Also, these days, many employers use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to filter resumes, so incorporating relevant keywords can increase the likelihood of your profile being noticed.
