There’s this company that’s hiring and I’m really curious about my chances of getting hired. The thing is that it’s really competitive and my resume will not be special compared to thousands of other black and white resumes that nearly have the same format. Any ideas to stand out/be noticed and pass the filtering stage?
This isn't very unusual or creative, but really go down every path you can to connect with someone who works there. It's the best way to get your resume past the initial gatekeepers.
Some ideas:
- Are you connected to anyone at the Startup on LinkedIn - invite them out to coffee
-Does any alumni from your college or High School work there reach out and introduce yourself
-Is anyone from the company speaking at any local events or meet ups go and introduce yourself.
Good luck!
