6 Proven Techniques To Help You Stand Out and Be Memorable
These strategies will help you stand out from the crowd. Use them and you will always have people wanting to help you get the position you are looking for:
Be tactful
You can be polite and persistent about following up. Follow application instructions, and avoid leaving multiple messages so you come across as confident rather than overzealous.
Confirm details
Some employers will appreciate an effort to confirm an application or interview. Unless the company requests otherwise, make it a policy to follow up and ask about the next step.
Ask informed questions
Take full advantage of interviews or any continuing conversations. Have a written list of relevant questions that will help you to understand the position and showcase your worth.
Articulate your value
Play an active role in interviews. Guide the discussion towards your unique abilities and the specific contribution you can make. Highlight your past achievements and show how you can help your next employer reach their goals.
Express your appreciation
Remember to send thank you notes or make a follow up call after each contact. Let others know that you are grateful for their time and consideration.
Stay in touch
Work at developing and sustaining relationships. Even if an interview doesn’t end with a job offer, it may be worth reaching out once in awhile to monitor future needs or ask for other suggestions.
