- 2. 1. Get personal Before you go on a job interview, find out everything you can about the people who are in charge of the hiring process at the company and get to know a little bit about them and their interests. This will help you to know what may impress them, annoy them, or where you may share a common interest that will help you to connect. In the interview, make an attempt to connect – be friendly, honest, and open to sharing a little about yourself as well. The more personal the connection you make and the more they like you as a person, the better chance you have at being chosen for the job.
- 3. 2. Think out of the box A great example of this is a woman named Pasha (HirePasha.com) who took her last bit of money and bought a billboard in a high-traffic area that read, 'I'm ready and available for work, HirePasha.com.' It worked so well that she ended up creating her own public relations firm because of all the attention she got for herself! The lesson here is to not limit yourself just because you think something is too outrageous or unexpected. In this case, it worked!
- 4. 3. Use your talents! Use your relevant talents to attract attention. For example explain that with the help of your talent you completed one of your accomplishments.
