Standing out from the crowd is vital these days

I just heard an alarming statistic... for every job opening there are at least 100 applicants. It's difficult to stand out with this type of competition. You can do it though. Just be sure that you have quantifiable data on your resume and be able to support your claims. Another way to stand out from the rest is to include the "hows" in your resume. (i.e. "demonstrated success in reducing operating costs by redefining inventory tracking and maintenance process.") Spend some time with your resume to make sure it's a genuine reflection of you and the value you can bring to a company.
