How can I set myself apart and get selected for the initial screening and interview selection.

Neel P. asked a question to Daniel W.

There are always 100s of applications for any given finance and/or commercial role. I just applied for a role as Associate Director RGM, however, in the 1st hour that the role has gone live, there are (quite rightly) 12 applicants.

    Hi Neel, I would focus on the following;

    1). What do you bring to the role and the company
    2). Your experience in a similar role / sector
    3). How can you make a difference
    4). How do you want to grow and develop yourself / the role if successful in the application process
    5). Key challenges and mitigations with the role / sector

    Good Luck
