Standing out in this job market
By anthony balderrama on Dec 8, 2009 in Career Advice, Featured, Job Search
Everyone wants to stand out right now. When you’re looking for a job, the last thin you want to be is another generic candidate in a stack of applications. Stedman Graham knows this and is trying to help job seekers find their own voices–the kind that will make an employer say, “Hey, that person actually has something to offer.” Plus, part of standing out comes from having confidence and a clear direction, and both of those qualities will help you feel better about your career options.
Here’s an interview with Graham on WGN where he gives job seekers some advice for their job searches.

“Life will always be difficult if you are asleep” – like it Stedman!

I agree that it has become so important for job seekers to know how to make themselves stand out from the crowd – in this case, the applicant pool that continues to grow. One way that finance professionals can achieve this is by signing up on OneWire (www.onewire.com), a Career Management Tool that matches professionals with opportunities in finance. The high level of detail that you can include in your OneWire profile allows you to highlight why you are unique, both as a person and as an employee. From education and work experiences to hobbies and interests, you can include as much detail as you like in your profile to demonstrate to a hiring manager why you are the right candidate for the job.
