In today's job search,your competitors are hundreds of people even if you've applied to tenjobs. Everybody has a resumes, cover letters, references, and lots of audacity.People have gone as far as walking with street signs displaying their desperation for employment, to renting billboards with their resume on it.

Way over the top, right?

Well, here are several things you can do other than to draw attention to yourself, and separate yourself from everyone else in the job search competition:

1. Once again, send "Thank You" notes or cards. Only 10% of job seekers actually follow-up with a letter or a card. If you want to subtly be different, send a letter saying "Thank You". See my post from two weeks here about thank you notes. 
2. Send a quarterly newsletter to your network. Friends, co-workers, and family are your immediate network. Keep people in the loop about how your search is going, and they will remember you when leads drop in their laps. If you send it more than quarterly, you risk the chance of being ignored. Hopefully, you'll just need to send only one newsletter (if that many).
3. Train people to do what you do. There are always people who are willing to learn something new, no matter what it is. If you are really good at it, you've built a community of people who will be glad to share about the skill you've taught them. 
4. Blogging. If you've done #3, you can blog because this is your community, and its potential is endless. You can also use this on your resume as a means of demonstrating to your employer that you can do the job. You will also increase the chances of an employer discovering you.
5. Use graphs and/or infographics on your resume. This example is effective for some industries but if you want to demonstrate and highlight your accomplishments, graphs will differentiate you from other candidates. If you had one bad year in sales out of a few years, a graph can show how you improved sales the next year, especially if there were dramatic increases the following year.  

You may have the same work experience as hundreds of others, but if your presentation clearly distinguishes you from other candidates, the above five suggestions. All five are probably not necessary to do, but if you do one or two of them, rest assured, you will increase your chances of obtaining more interviews. All of these methods take some patience,but they are doable if you see the success before it happens.
