How do you stand out from other candidates for college?

Answer 1

I would think that might be what gets you the job. I would research the position I was applying for throughly. Then "play up" any strong points I have that qualify me for the position. Such as being able to work independently or strong leadership abilities. That sort of thing. I really recommend paying a lot of attention to your resume. It's the first contact you'll have with your potential employer. An employer really only spends 30 seconds looking at a resume if you're lucky, so you want something that's visually appealing and something that really sells your skills. WHen I say you want something that sells your skills, I mean skills pertaining to the job you're applying to. If you're applying to a job in administrative assistance, don't include your work experience as a fry cook at McDonalds, unless you really believe you gained some sort of transferable skill from it. Personally in the past when i was talking to an employer about a sales position and they would ask me this question i would say: That i always strive to be on top, to be number one. I will never settle for second place, since second place is the first loser. In sales the moment you allow yourself to settle, that is the moment you should NOT be in sales.
