Be Remembered

If there is an opening for a job, there will be plenty of applicants, no matter the state of the economy. You need to stand out by being remembered.

Your resume and references may help you get your foot in the door and have employers excited to meet you, but you get offers by them remembering you.

When in the interview, not only be prepared, but tell stores that will stick in people's mind.

When asked about your hobbies and interests, have an anecdote that will make the boss chuckle or be impressed.
