Hey everyone, I'm a professional career coach and have worked with literally thousands of corporate clients—both companies doing the hiring and candidates applying for the roles. I constantly get asked by grads and young professionals, "What's the secret to getting noticed when everyone else has a good degree?" My answer is always the same: The single most important factor that grabs attention—and will get you the job—is showing you understand who you are and the specific value you will bring. Hiring managers are not just looking for skills; they are looking for a return on investment (ROI). More importantly - they want to avoid a Bad Hirer. A poor behavioral fit can cost a company up to 30% of the employee's first-year salary. Interviewers are looking for proof you're a good fit, which starts with you understanding yourself. This isn't about pretending or using buzz words. It is about showcasing you possess an authentic and deep understanding of who you are and what you bring to the table. If you possess self-awareness, managers know there is a higher potential you will be open to feedback, understand your impact and grow to be a valuable asset. You don't need to pay for an expensive assessment - there are loads of free and reputable tools online that can help you. When you talk about the results in your interview, you'll sound strategic, mature, and self-aware. * Self-Activated (MBTI-based): You can get super specific with this - tell it the interview outcome/goal you want and any concerns. Answer the Q’s and you get a detailed blueprint all about you and your strengths/capabilities. Link: <a href="https://self-activated.com/!
