Leaving an Impression #1

Oftentimes when you're applying to jobs, you're just one of a sea of candidates who will likely have quite similar credentials. The ability to distinguish yourself as a candidate can be the difference between getting the job and missing out. There are infinite creative ways to distinguish yourself through the application process and in interviews. One of my favourites - a secret that I will share - is to bring a 5-minute elevator pitch presentation to an interview on the topic of 'Why I am right for the job'.

This article presents another creative approach that somebody has used with great success.

Remember that the even best creative efforts only leave an impression if they maintain the overall integrity of the application process. Make sure that you don't compromise your resume, interviews, or the security of your potential employers in the effort to get noticed.
