Like any investor, you want to be sure that when you invest your time and energy applying for a job, you’ll at least get feedback from the recruiter or be duly rewarded with your dream job.
Many times people usually find themselves in these situations when they are applying for a job. As job seekers, candidates don’t know how many other candidates are applying for the same opportunity. This alone is a cause for worry and discouragement because you don’t know how you compare against your competition.
With the new Fuzu, that should not be a worry anymore. The revamped Fuzu platform has the following features to help you become the best candidate for the job you are applying for.
Here are some of the ways you can stand out in your candidacy with the new Fuzu.
Aptitude tests
When applying for jobs, some employers require you to take an aptitude test to test your cognitive abilities. These tests help you better understand whether that job is a good fit for you or not. The good thing with Fuzu is that you don’t have to keep on repeating the test every time you want to send an application. When you do it once, it will be applicable to all other vacancies you apply for.
Practicing for these tests over and over gives you an edge and helps you improve your cognitive skills such that each time you are required by a potential employer to take one, you pass excellently. The adage practice makes perfect never gets old.
Instant Feedback
Instant Feedback, enables you to see how you compare to top candidates in the role you are interested in. Remember when you received a regret email that only stated that the competition was stiff and you didn’t make the cut. I personally have. And many times we wish we could know where we missed the mark so that we can make the necessary improvements.
Well, with Instant Feedback, that changes radically because you can compare yourself with the top applicants and know if you are a good fit for the role. Vague generalities are now a thing of the past. You will be able to pinpoint with laser accuracy what you should work on. Instant Feedback reveals your strengths, your selling points, and how to leverage them.
Career Coaching
The new Fuzu has amazing certified coaches! These coaches have experience coaching professionals at different levels of their careers. This service allows you to have a one on one interaction with a career coach and gives you access to instant feedback for a month.
Your coach will help you achieve your career goals by assessing your skills, experience, weaknesses, among other things. When they analyze you, they are better placed to advise you on the suitable career path and how to position yourself as the best candidate.
Coaches guide you on how to tailor your application for every job so that you can stand out among many other equally qualified candidates.

They say the proof of the pudding is in the eating. In your cover letters and CVs which you have tailored to the needs of a specific employer, your wealth of experience needs to come out. There is a saying which encourages people to read. It’s cliché but still relevant. Leaders are readers.
Take charge of your job search by learning as much as you can before you even go down to start sending applications.
My cousin once gave me this interesting analogy. He said that two men were tasked with cutting a tree. They were given only six days. One went ahead immediately and started cutting the tree. The other spent four days whetting his axe. On the fifth day, he cut the tree faster than the one who started immediately.
When you read, you sharpen your mind and your cognitive abilities. That is why online instructors Mindvalley always say, just as exercise is to the body, reading is to the mind. This will particularly be helpful when you go for interviews and you give your answers with a depth of knowledge and understanding.
