jobgetter1 300x239 This guy drove two hours to show up for a job he didnt get... Guess what happenedWhenever someone asks me advise on getting a job or working on his CV, I tell him that he needs to stand out, he needs to be different. You don’t want your CV to be just another one in a big pile. You need to take charge of your destiny, show some guts and do things differently.

Here is a story about a guy who applied for a job, didn’t get it, drove two hours to show up for work anyway and walked away with a job.

Would you do such a thing? What happens if your turned down for a job that you really want? Do you just forget about it or try to standout and show why you feel they made a mistake and should give you another shot?

Any good stories out there? Please share with us in the comments.

AKA – Making your CV stickout when trying to get a job in Israel

I have spoken about this idea in the past and I will say it again and again. Don’t be just another number, make yourself count! If you see a job you want, show them that you want it. Don’t just send in a CV like everyone else, make yours stick out like a sore thumb! You want your CV to be at the top of the pile. The whole point of the CV is to get the interview not to get the job. Once you are at the interview that is your time to shine.
