When talking with individuals in your field, many of whom could become important connections for future positions, as well as potential employers, it’s important to be able to concisely and confidently articulate “what sets you apart” from the many others also interested in the field or role.
Similar to a Personal Strengths Statement, a “what sets you apart” statement focuses on how your strengths and skills make you uniquely well-suited to succeed in your targeted role or field. It also helps you emphasize your value, make a strong first impression, build your own confidence, and distinguish yourself from others.
