December 27, 2020 by RA Leave a Comment

How to Stand Out in a Very Competitive Job Market.

The job market keeps evolving every day. Things change; old methods of doing things have been replaced by new methods.

You need to evolve with the market to stay relevant. Unfortunately, there are limited jobs for the increasing number of graduates leaving school annually thereby causing serious competition in the job market.

How to Stand Out in a Very Competitive Job Market

So whatever you do should stand out from others if you want to achieve success. The following tips will help.

Participate in Voluntary Work

While waiting for your perfect job, you need to gather all the experience you can get to help you and taking part in voluntary work comes with great advantages.

Asides the skills and experience you’ll develop, you will also have the privilege of including them in your curriculum vitae (CV) to make it look professional.

Every employee always looks forward to the experience you have gained on your CV before you can be employed so taking part in voluntary work will give you an edge over others seeking the same job.

Work on Your Education

Those with better degrees have higher chances of getting jobs than those without degrees. Also, some jobs require that a person should have a certain level of education in order to get the job.

So to stand above the competition, you need to keep aspiring for better degrees. Better degrees won’t only give you an advanced position but also better pay.

You can also take up certificate courses that can enhance your CV.

Create a Professional CV

This shows your potential employer your qualification at a glance without having to ask questions. Your CV should include all your qualification, the skills you’ve acquired, other experiences, certification etc.

Remember to update your CV from time to time to include current skills you acquired with dates to back up.

Stay up to Date on the Job Market Trend

Find out the latest trend in the job related to you and stay updated to keep you relevant in the job. Some of the skills ton update include human relation skills and computer operations.

Human relation is important so you’ll be able to interact with people; your employer, follow employees, clients and computer operation is necessary too because almost everything is done on the computer nowadays.

Prepare for the Interview

To stand out from others, you need to prepare for the interview before hand. Build your confidence, conduct research on both the company and the position you’re vying for.

Draft possible related question and prepare for them so you won’t be taken unawares.

Have Good References

It is important to prepare a list of people you’ve worked with overtime and can attest to your capabilities; could be your ex-boss, ex-coworkers etc.

It is best if this is included in your CV so you won’t have to be asked. This will add some applause to your CV and give you a upper hand over others.

Create a Network

It doesn’t just end at acquiring education and skills, create a network with others, communicate with them. Attend networking functions and get to know people.

You never can tell which opportunity they can offer in due course.
