How to Stand Out, Get Noticed, and Land Your Dream Job


Feeling Invisible in Your Job Search? Here’s How to Stand Out

You’ve sent out countless resumes, optimized your LinkedIn profile, and still… nothing. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. In today’s competitive job market, it’s not enough to be qualified—you need to stand out.

But how do you do that when hundreds of others are vying for the same role?

Here’s the truth: It’s not just about having the right skills. It’s about how you tell your story.


The Problem: Why Most Professionals Struggle to Stand Out

Most job seekers fall into what I call the “Employee Trap.” They focus on listing tasks and responsibilities instead of showcasing their unique value.

Hiring managers don’t just want to know what you did—they want to know how you did it, the challenges you overcame, and the measurable results you delivered.

This is where most people get stuck. They know they’re qualified, but they don’t know how to articulate their value in a way that resonates.


The Solution: The WOOP™ and CORE™ Methods

At Roszhart Coaching, we’ve developed two proprietary frameworks to help you craft a compelling career story that gets you noticed:


Step 1: WOOP™ – Building Your Foundation

The WOOP™ Method helps you uncover and structure your key achievements into clear, results-driven narratives:

  • W: What was the goal?
  • O: What measurable results did you achieve?
  • O: What challenges did you face?
  • P: What steps did you take to succeed?

By the end of this process, your resume becomes more than a document—it’s a strategic tool that highlights your problem-solving skills and measurable impact.


Step 2: CORE™ – Turning Stories into Conversations

Once your stories are crafted, the CORE™ Method helps you deliver them in interviews with confidence and clarity:

  • C: Connection—Tie your story to the role or company.
  • O: Obstacle—Highlight the challenge you faced.
  • R: Resolution—Explain the actions you took to resolve it.
  • E: Evolution—Show how the experience helped you grow.

This approach ensures your answers are structured, engaging, and tailored to the role, helping you stand out as a thoughtful, self-aware candidate.


Why This Works

Our clients don’t just get interviews—they get offers. Here’s why:

  • Clarity: You’ll know exactly how to articulate your value.
  • Confidence: You’ll walk into interviews prepared, relaxed, and ready to own the conversation.
  • Results: You’ll position yourself as the solution hiring managers are looking for.


Real Results, Real Stories

Let me tell you about Sarah.

Sarah was a mid-career professional with years of experience but felt invisible in the job market. Her resume was a list of tasks, and her interviews felt like interrogations.

After working through the WOOP™ and CORE™ Methods, Sarah transformed her career story. Within three months, she landed a role at a Fortune 500 company with a 30% salary increase.

Her secret? She didn’t just talk about what she did—she told a story that connected her experience to the company’s needs.


What’s Holding You Back?

If you’re feeling stuck, ask yourself:

  • Are you clearly articulating your value?
  • Are you positioning yourself as the solution to a company’s problem?
  • Are you telling a story that resonates with hiring managers?

If the answer is “no,” it’s time to make a change.


Take the First Step Toward Your Dream Job

Your career deserves more than generic advice. Let’s work together to craft a professional brand that gets you noticed, lands interviews, and opens doors to new opportunities.

ATS-Optimized Resumes Meet Strategic Personal Branding: The Roszhart Coaching Advantage In today's competitive job market, your resume must fulfill two roles: it should get through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and convey your unique professional story. At Roszhart Coaching, we view your resume as more than just a list of jobs—it's your personal brand, career narrative, and first impression with hiring managers. Why an ATS-Friendly Resume Matters Every day, companies sift through hundreds of resumes using ATS software. These systems look for standardized information: clear headings, simple formatting, and industry-specific keywords. To ensure that you get noticed, your resume must be designed for both machines and humans. Some key practices include: ✨ Simple, Clean Format: Use a one-column layout with standard fonts such as Arial or Times New Roman. Avoid using dynamic elements such as columns, headers, footers, graphics, or unusual bullet points to ensure ATS can accurately read your document. ✨ Keyword Optimization: Carefully tailor each resume to include the specific terminology and skills found in the job description. Remember, ATS algorithms scan for relevant keywords in sections like Work Experience, Skills, and Professional Summary. ✨ Standard Section Headings: Clearly label essential sections such as Contact Information, Professional Summary, Work Experience, Skills, and Education, ensuring that the ATS can easily identify and parse your qualifications. Following these ATS best practices increases your chances of your resume getting past the initial screening, allowing it to shine for the hiring manager. The Roszhart Coaching Process: Crafting a Resume That Sells You At Roszhart Coaching, we take the ATS challenge one step further.

Your resume is crafted to reflect your personal brand, positioning you as the ideal solution to the challenges hiring managers face today. From the layout to the language, every element is thoughtfully chosen. 💡 Interview Readiness: A standout resume is just the beginning.
