How to stand out when you apply for a job | EP15




Dream Job Ready show

Summary: <p>"How do I stand out when I’m applying for a job?" </p><br><p>It's a common question, but there's never been a more important time to ask it and listen for answers. Unemployment is at an all-time high and the job market is super competitive, so you'll probably need to do more than just submit a resume and cover letter to a job ad to land that dream job you’re chasing. </p><br><p>Our first 'Quick Take' episode references advice Carolyn Breeze (General Manager of GoCardless) shared in Episode 03. She’s a big advocate of the “show me, don’t tell me” approach and has hired people that make an impact during the application process. </p><br><p>'Quick Take' episodes will continue to highlight the best bits of advice we've shared in past interviews, just in shorter, snackable episodes so you can download and save them… </p><p>Thanks for listening, rating, subscribing and sharing Dream Job Ready.
