It’s a common concern. You may be looking for a job, but you’re not the only one. However, spending all your time worrying about the competition will only make it worse.

Standing out from the crowd enables you to get that crucial first interview. Check them out today!
We all know how difficult it is to draft a compelling personal statement. We don’t like to sound big-headed or praise ourselves too much, but this is precisely what your personal statement is for.
Your resume is a way of marketing and selling yourself to a prospective employer.
It’s just as important what you remove from your resume as what you put on it. Your opening statement should ensure you will stand out from the crowd and have them wanting to read more.
This allows you to demonstrate your experience and the key skills you’ve gained throughout your employment history. It’s a highlight of your past experience that you will bring to your new role.
Standing out from the crowd means telling people about the great work you can do. Brag a little; you’ve worked hard.
In industries such as oil and gas, renewables, and nuclear, this is more important than ever. Standing out from the crowd means using your qualifications to your benefit. This could be the difference between an employer choosing you or choosing someone equally qualified.
On that note, it’s time to look at any certificates you have and figure out exactly what courses are still valid and what you might need to retake.
No one is reading a resume that is hard to read. Standing out from the crowd also means making your resume accessible to whoever reads it.
You need to be standing out from the crowd on social media. LinkedIn has become an enormous asset for both job seekers and employers. It is effectively a database of thousands of potential candidates.
While you’re updating your resume, it is worth ensuring that your strengthening your LinkedIn profile is up to date. You might even notice that it has the same layout as a standard resume.
