While searching for a new employee, different employers look for different things. But they are all trying to answer one overarching question: What value will this individual add to my organization?
As a strong potential candidate, its your job to help them reach the right conclusion. Although setting yourself apart from the crowd is a rigorous process, showcasing your completion of relevant courses is a great starting point.
But mind you, as you proceed in the quest for developing a skillset that you've developed, be always prepared to answer these questions:
• What drove you to enroll in these courses and further your education?
• What knowledge did you gain from the courses?
• What can you do now that you couldn't do before?
Remember, don't sell yourself short, but don't overdo it either. Be concise, speak confidently about the skillset you've developed and make sure it is relevant to the goal you're aiming to achieve.
