What separates the average job seekers from the STANDOUT candidates?⁠

⁠

The average job seeker uses an OLD-SCHOOL approach:⁠

⁠

Starting the job search on job boards, scrolling through random roles thinking ‘I could do that, I could do that’⁠

⁠

Downloading free resume templates off the internet and using phrases like ‘good communicator’ and ‘strong team player’ like every other candidate ever ⁠

⁠

Applying online with their one-size-fits-all CV/resume

⁠

Applying for so many roles they lose track of how many application they’ve actually sent out⁠

⁠

Crossing their fingers and hoping to hear back from a Recruiter at some point ⁠

⁠

The standout candidates? They do things the NEW SCHOOL way:⁠

⁠

Getting crystal clear on who they are – their purpose, their values, their natural strengths and superpowers – and the career they want to create⁠.

⁠

Test driving this compelling vision for their next step by having informational interviews with people doing their dream job ⁠.

⁠

Articulating a powerful and consistent personal brand through their cover letter, resume and LinkedIn profile⁠

⁠

Getting in front of Recruiters, decision-makers and would-be peers through precision networking, landing internal referrals⁠.

⁠

Tailoring their application for each and every role they go for (quality over quantity)⁠

⁠

Creating content and engaging on LinkedIn, attracting the attention of influential people in their niche ⁠

Finding ways to go above and beyond through video pitches, “I know my shit” projects and more⁠

⁠
