Hiring: I've already applied for a "dream job". They are forward-thinking and advertise their culture and distributed team. What can I do now to stand out?

Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

To stand out for your dream job keep the following points in mind:
1. Research the Company in Depth: Go deeper by engaging with the company’s social media profiles to get an idea of the team culture, looking over some reviews on Glassdoor, and reading up on the company’s competitors and points of differentiation.

2. Brush Up Your Resume: Do the easy stuff first. Finally, wrap up your edits by making sure your resume formatting is on point and easy to read.

3. Reach Out to Your Network: If anyone you know works for the company or knows someone who does, now is the time to reach out to them. It is hard to know what the timeframe is for the position, so it is a good idea to apply quickly.

4. Hit Send and Start Preparing for the Interview: When your dream job comes up, it’s easy to overreact by either applying within the same minute of finding it or taking too long as you anguish over all the details. Lily Zhang serves as a Manager of Graduate Student Professional Development at the MIT Media Lab where she works with a range of students from AI experts to interaction designers.
