The importance of being creative. The job market to day is vastly different to what it was in the past, in that many industries, businesses, and corporations are quite literally flooded with applications. With such a tremendous amount of competition it can be extremely challenging to have your application noticed, and to have it stand out above the rest. In order to achieve this, your application needs to be as creative as possible. In other words, you need to come up with something which a hiring manager will find to be interesting and tempting. For example, you could go as far as including a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation outlining any relevant experience you may have, as well as your various skills and accomplishments. If you find you're at a loss with regards to a creative idea then of course you should check with an employment resource guide.

Write a Thank You Note. Any employment guide will tell you that the interview does not end when you walk out of the office. No, that hiring manager is thinking about you, considering you, all the while talking to and thinking about many other applicants. Keep your name fresh in that hiring manager's mind by sending a thank you note after the interview. Keep it simple and brief, telling him or her how excited you are and how you see yourself contributing to the company or project. Also thank them for taking the time to see you. It could be the one thing that sets you apart. And in this market, that is exactly what you want.
