?? Job Searches Are Tough, But You Can Stand Out!
Let me help you stand out in this crowd...
Looking for a job these days? It’s not easy. With so many people applying for the same roles, it's tough to get noticed. Companies have unprecedented access to talent at this time - internal candidates willing to jump to the right role to ensure they survive any subsequent layoffs and external candidates who are looking to find the right role and a safe space to weather the storm.
There has never been a more important reason to stand out in your search and be the memorable candidate the hiring manager remembers two days later. This requires effort to prepare before every single conversation and interaction, even before you hit apply to the role on LinkedIn.
I hope to help you stand out and become the candidate that hiring managers remember!
?? Create Your Personal Mission Statement
A personal mission statement is key. It should capture your core values, key experiences, and long-term goals. Show how you’ve made an impact in your field and how you plan to keep growing.
?? Research and Prepare
Before you hit that "Apply" button, make sure you're fully prepared. Research the company, craft your personal pitch, and have a conversation plan ready. This effort sets you apart from the crowd.

?? Track Your Progress and Follow Up
Recruiters and hiring managers are busy and might lose track of your application—don’t let that happen to you! Keep tabs on your progress, follow up regularly, and use past contacts to stay on their radar.

5 个月I think in the age of ATS systems and with each application attracting over 100 applicants, it is extremely hard to stand out. Most qualified candidates don't even secure an interview.
