How to stand out in my job post doctorate search?

Let's be honest about this.

Doctorates are not always awarded to the brightest individuals. But, yes, they are the most determined to succeed.

The job search is a long-term endeavor, similar to distance races that are not speed races. So, in order to stand out in your field, it is critical that you develop strategies to help you make the most of your years of study.

How?
● Build bridges with colleagues
● Be kind
● Work as a team
● Create value
● Work with passion

Yes, it appears to be quite simple, but it is essential to establish aside egos and work with an end goal in mind. Soft skills are being honed.

It is critical to build bridges and interact with other people because it is human relationships that will help you have a better arrival during interviews.

You are less likely to stand out if you are an unknown candidate. And not because you lack the necessary education or experience. But it's just that employers prefer candidates they know and know from personal experience are capable of doing the job well. In other words, the recommendations do a lot of work.

"How do I get to know people at a workplace where I don't know anyone?" you may wonder. The best way to accomplish this is to devise a strategy for getting to know key stakeholders who can provide you with advice and contact information.
