How to Make Yourself a Better Job Candidate and Stand Out in a Crowd

Presenter: Jennifer Selden, Regional Recruiting Director of the Mid Atlantic and Southeast regions for Randstad Technologies and Corey Pinkham, Regional Recruiting Director of the Northeast Region for Randstad Technologies

Even though it's a sellers' market for most IT workers, the "best" job candidates get offered the most attractive jobs. Sometimes conveying what makes you the "best" candidate is unclear - is it just about technical skills or is there more to it? There are issues job candidates should be aware of to improve their results and land a job that best suits their immediate needs and career goals.

In this webinar, Jennifer Selden, Regional Recruiting Director of the Mid Atlantic and Southeast regions for Randstad Technologies and Corey Pinkham, Regional Recruiting Director of the Northeast Region for Randstad Technologies, will offer insights on how the tech job market is changing and the challenges and opportunities candidates need to understand, including:

> What are the most important "soft" skills organizations are looking for and why having them will make you a much more attractive candidate?

> Why being a good cultural fit for an employer might be more important than compensation.

> How to prove that you're a self-starter.

> Understanding how organizations' expectations of IT workers have changed from that of a support role to a line function - and what that means for you.

> Which other high-demand tech skills will set you apart regardless of your specialty.
