Standing out in a crowded job market is no easy task. Here are my tips to increase your chances of securing an interview:
If you are particularly interested in a specific company and position, I recommend creating alerts on LinkedIn. Typically, the first applicants for a job have a higher chance of being reviewed.
Ensure your application is complete:
Fill out all your data accurately on the application form
Craft your resume:
To showcase your achievements (numbers are really important), projects, and any unique skills that set you apart
Certifications and additional training in industry-specific technologies can enhance your profile
Use keywords from the job description so recruiters will automatically sees that you are a good candidate for the job
Mix design with readability - both are key
And last tip, always include a brief summary at the top
Address the specific requirements and challenges mentioned in the job description within your cover letter
If possible, attach your portfolio or provide a link to your site. Alternatively, link it within your resume. Use visual elements and aesthetics that align with the brand or company you're applying to
3. Complete your LinkedIn profile. Recruiters are likely to review it before inviting you for an interview. Consider this as the minimum requirements
4. Utilize platforms like LinkedIn to connect with industry leaders, recruiters, and professionals. Engage in meaningful conversations and showcase your passion for fashion and the specific company you are interested in.
Remember, the goal is not only to present yourself as qualified but also as someone who brings a unique perspective and value to the organization. Tailor your approach to the specific job and company to make a lasting impression.
I hope these tips get you closer to your dream job.
Love,
Sandra
