How To Impress a Potential Employer and Stand Out

Listen Later

This originally aired as a video on my YouTube channel which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/lcuy4ooDyaE

If you want to know how to impress a potential employer and stand out, in this video I'm going to be sharing some tips you can use to help you secure that next job if you're trying to break into the financial services industry.

  1. Do Your Homework. Your potential employer probably has dozens of other equally qualified individuals asking for the same job. If you are granted some "face-time" with them, what's going to make you different?
  • Be professional. Do yourself a favor and use the highest degree of professionalism when interacting. Spruce up anything that will represent you (e.g. email, social profiles, etc.). After all, how can you demonstrate you will respect the job if you don't respect yourself?
  • Be memorable. You hardly ever get a 2nd chance to make a first impression. Make yours count! Instead of just sending a typical email, record and send a video introducing yourself.

    • Thanks for listening.
