Careeralism has a few tips  to help get you noticed and stand out from the rest.

2. Great Stories of Progression:

Once you’ve grabbed their attention using NEAR, support yourself by telling great stories that highlight those points. Tell them the story, what happened, and how YOU contributed to making it happen!

3. Make them want you:

Keep their interest and close the deal. Interview them and be curious…. ask questions to show you’re serious about the position and company. When you show interest or curiosity, you stand out by showing you’ve thought long and hard about your role and what you can bring to the company.

Using these tips, along with a few others, will help you stand out from the rest of the crowd and keep your manager (or recruiter) interested. NEAR is a great way to create a tactic on how to keep the attention of people who can help you move up in a company.
