Standing Out from the Crowd

How do I differentiate myself from other students?

Answer

Be genuine about everything you write.  Highlight the critical skills you possess that would serve your target company well. It’s all about a match of your strengths to their needs; make that connection as best you can.  Be specific and give examples to back up the attributes you say that you have.  This way, your story comes to life and truly is your own.
