“How to stand out as a candidate” has advice that can be used by anyone at any time. There are takeaways that will help not only to stand out in an interview, but to deepen professional relationships, connect with who you are now, and to plan for where you want to go.

As I work with candidates across different levels of expertise there may be some tips here you are aware of, but I challenge you to consider if you’re practicing all that you know in these areas, that can help you on your trajectory.

Even if you have been at some pretty high highs, don’t get complacent.  A career climb can be easy in that, the climb.  But once you have achieved some goals, and have expectations of what that can mean for next steps, know that the competition can get tougher.  Working with some pretty senior people recently, it has been great to add value in those skills that they don’t understand how to articulate, and giving them the confidence to do so in ways that are aligned to next steps, sharing through the framework I provide, and the practice and we perform.

So whether you’re looking for your first role, a grad, or moving from a Head of into a C-Suite role, there’s something here for you in the 4 tips I share:

• Leverage your network and be open with recruiters


• Know where you want to go so others can help you


• Show off your expertise and accomplishments in your CV


• Be coachable and take feedback from all phone and interview opportunities
