Eight tips on how to stand out

• How do you stand out? I mean the number of CAs, CFA charter holders, MBAs etc. are rapidly increasing every day plus the jobs are not increasing commensurately. So, qualifications alone may not do the trick. • With tough competition at work its often difficult to be visible. • This is also true for the job market- unless your resume is exceptional (and having the below will help) it won’t be picked for an interview. • Hence this episode is not just for people already in a job who want to get promoted or get a plum role or location in the same company. It’s also for anyone employed but who wants to remain employable even outside his current company. I spent 17 years in corporate life going all the way from Audit Senior to Executive Director- Finance and I learnt a lot about staying visible.
