Interviewing is an art. If you want to be noticed, you have to be able to make yourself stand out, which is not an easy task.
The first step is having a resume that would make the interviewer choose you for an interview. Customizing your resume to each potential job opportunity is very important. You need to articulate on paper why you are the right candidate for the company, but this is just the first hurdle in your job quest. Once selected you need to be able to navigate your way through the job interview or – more likely – a series of interviews with the potential new employer.
Each face-to-face interview is different and each interviewer has their own way of leading the process. As the interviewee, your goal is to not only having the skills for the position but to be able to make yourself stand out and be remembered by the interviewer. This is a challenge since the interviewer may be interviewing ten or more individuals for this one position, plus dozens of others for various other positions within the organization.
