I would like to wrap this article with this thought,
To stand out as the perfect candidate for the job you’ll need to stand up and own your future. You must know why you do what you do, believe in what you do and be able to project this first as a person and then reflect it in your cover letter.
That’s what will sell you as the perfect candidate for any prospective employer. Therefore, adapt to this mindset and carry it with you throughout your application journey. I wish you the best in your job search.
