Career Tips: How to Stand Out
Standing out in a job application isn’t just about having the right qualifications—it’s about showing that you’re proactive, curious, and genuinely interested. To make a lasting impression, be active in your interviews. Ask thoughtful questions as the conversation unfolds, don’t wait until the very end to show your interest. This shows that you’re engaged and see the interview as a two-way conversation.
Do your homework on the company before you apply. Understanding what they do and what they value helps you align your answers to fit their goals. When talking about your past work, focus on the results you achieved rather than just listing what you did. Highlight how you made a difference—whether that’s boosting sales, improving processes, or helping your team succeed.
Most importantly, remember that being curious can set you apart. Instead of trying to be the most impressive or knowledgeable person in the room, show that you’re eager to learn and understand. Interviews aren’t just for them to get to know you, they’re also your chance to see if the role is the right fit for you.
Stay confident, be genuine, and don’t be afraid to show how you can contribute.
By approaching your interviews this way, you’ll come across as prepared, engaged, and ready to make a real impact.
Alumni Spotlight
This month, we feature Daria, an international student and MBA graduate from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Originally from Russia, Daria chose USTC for its prestigious reputation as a member of China’s C9 League. Having previously studied in Beijing, she sought a top university outside the capital and found USTC to be the perfect fit.
Daria described the application process as straightforward, emphasizing the importance of staying ahead of deadlines. She noted that while contacting professors for an acceptance letter isn’t mandatory for MBA applicants, it can provide an advantage. USTC looks for motivated candidates who can demonstrate a strong drive to create and innovate, rather than just having a background in economics.
Reflecting on her interview experience, Daria shared, “The interview felt more like a conversation. The professors were genuinely interested in my background, my future plans, and even my hobbies.”
Life at USTC offered Daria ample opportunities for growth and exploration, with a variety of clubs and activities enriching her student experience. “There’s always something happening. One of my favorite memories was performing at a university concert—it felt amazing to be supported by such an enthusiastic crowd,” she said.
Her advice to future applicants? “Be yourself and show authenticity in your motivation letter and interviews. USTC values genuine passion.”
