Stand out from the crowd in your New Year job hunt

Perhaps the best way to understand how significant a certain achievement, some extra volunteer work or a dedicated social media persona can be is to imagine yourself in the position of employer. It’s the New Year, you’ve just enjoyed a wonderful break, and the last thing you want to do is read the words ‘Works well with others and as part of a team’ for the millionth time. But, because the job hunting process tends to churn out the same old sayings, chances are – you will. Now ask yourself, does this over repeated phrase hold any real meaning anymore? Does it accurately explain why this is a person that deserves that job?
