10 ways to stand out in a hiring process (that don’t involve your resume):
1. Do Your Research
Before an interview, spend a few hours researching the company and role.
At a minimum, you should cover:
• Company mission
• Recent company news
• Recent market news
• Backgrounds of leaders
• Backgrounds of interviewers
Google is a powerful asset—use it.
2. Embrace “I Don’t Know”
You can’t know the answer to every question. And you know what? That’s ok.
Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know”—but follow it with a plan to acquire that information.
3.Leverage Warm Intros
Warm intros are the holy grail of a competitive hiring process.
Scan your networks for any connections to a company—yes, LinkedIn is actually useful for something!
If you find any that are close enough, use them.
A few other ideas in my thread below:
Ex: “I don’t know, but I’ll dig in and follow up via email.”
Then actually follow up!
4. Prepare for “Why Us?”
Interviewers inevitably ask, “Why us?”—make sure you're prepared for it.
Leverage your research. Write down 2-3 unique points about the company that appeal to you.
The more specific, the better.
Generic answers get minus points. Specific answers win.
5. Pass the Plane Test
There’s a common—and dated!—test in the hiring process:
“Would I want to sit next to this person on a plane for 6 hours?”
This was about being “normal”—but normalcy is overrated.
Be yourself, but be sure to get across that you're kind and genuine.
6. Cite Real Weaknesses
Getting asked about your weaknesses feels like a trap, so we tend to cite weaknesses that could be viewed as strengths.
“I’m TOO detail oriented."
I once told a finance interviewer I didn’t know accounting—but that I would learn it. That’s a real weakness!
7.Highlight Learning as a Goal
When asked about your goals, always highlight learning.
Lifelong learners tend to be great employees—they're interested, intellectually curious, and driven to do more than what is asked of them.

HOW TO WIN A LADIES HEART

1. CULTIVATE FRIENDSHIP
Most guys make the mistake of going straight to a lady and telling her they like her and want relationship, which eventually leads to the ladies turning them down. You must understand that the majority of ladies would prefer to go into a relationship with a friend than an acquaintance.

Take time to build real and genuine friendship, and then you won't need to preach a sermon to her😅 before she says I DO

2. BE WARM TO HER
Ladies generally gravitates towards guys that are nice and warm, without even knowing it. You can't be rude to females around you and want them to have something serious with you. Guys you must understand that ladies discuss among themselves when they're together, so if you've been rude to one the others will definitely get to know especially if you're trying to woo their friend 😀

Assist them whenever the occasion arises even if you're not dating them, it creates a perception that you're a nice guy. Also if you have female siblings you can start by treating them nicely as this would help you to be nice to other ladies.

3. LOOK GOOD
Looking bad is a turn off for most ladies in this gen z generation, as this seems to send a negative signal to them about you. Dressing nice can give you a greater chance when it comes to getting a ladies attention. Most guys don't seem to understand why the ladies around them don't seem to give them a chance when it comes to dating and yet they're friends.

Guys it must interest you to know that ladies likes to show off their man, especially if he's handsome. So don't go about dressing like a masquerade thinking it doesn't matter, try to look good in the little way you can.

4. GIVER HER A SENSE OF DIRECTION
Every lady wants a man that can lead not matter their level of achievement. Contributing to a ladies life and progress is a sure way to win a ladies heart.
