What sets you apart in a job search isn’t your credentials; it’s the specific value you bring to a position. Hundreds of applicants can have the required experience and skills for the job. But Find Your Dream Job guest Laura Knights says how you communicate what you uniquely bring to the position sells you as the perfect candidate. Laura suggests beginning with learning about the company culture, sharing how you would fit into that culture, and how you have had an impact in previous employment opportunities. Don’t be afraid to “toot your own horn.”
