But just by being creative just don’t cut it anymore either. It may either repulse the prospective employer or may even hire you. But you should be aware that an employer needs to know what you can do for the company. If you are in a company where there is no need to be creative or just have to follow rules than being creative and standing out will not do the job. Although it may and I say MAY make you look outstanding and get a foot in the door (meaning the interview) but ultimately it comes to what you can do for the company and what you are bringing to the table (meaning the company).
In this economy the old adage that it is not what you know but who you know still counts.
There are so many articles out there on the internet and in the bookstores regarding how to find a job and how to approach the companies, prepare for the interview, what to do when you are there and what to do during the interview that after a while you feel like even if you have done all of it, you are still worried about your chances of being hired.
I just believe if you read only one good article you can increase your chances of getting hired but you have to do your homework thoroughly and use common sense. Although at the end it will all come down to the head count that they company is going to have.
