Standing out from the huge pool of candidates and pitching your profile can be an arduous task in this highly competitive world. However, EFMD Highered offers a fantastic Masterclass ‘Pitching Your Profile’ with Alexa Bailey, International Executive Talent Acquisition Lead At VISA.

According to Alexa Bailey, if you're a beginner in the job market, your 'interests' and 'passion' are the two essential things that you've got in your tool kit to ignite the people you want to engage with. Whether you have little or substantial experience, Alexa advises to figure out one's passion and interests along with the company's vision, culture, and mission statement and making a pitch out of that during job interviews. 

In a competitive job selection process, to stand out from superior profiles, Alexa says it all comes down to 'consistency.' If you're going to talk to several recruiters, Alexa advises to get the pitch perfectly to a T and that you're 'consistent' and 'clear' over what you're going for. Cover letters are critical for landing an interview or job, and to make an impressive cover letter, Alexa says that it should be 'to the point,' 'precise,' and summarize the 'highlights' of your career. Additionally, she says it's important to emphasize on your 'passions' in your cover letter.

For international candidates enthusiastic about working in the UK, where Alexa is based, she says it's vital for the candidates to be able to navigate different time zones, cultures, languages, and diversity of individuals you'll be working with. As such, it's essential that you're resilient, adaptable, and comfortable to change and communicate with diverse people.

During job hunting and interviews, it's important that you're confident in your pitch without appearing arrogant. For that, Alexa advises you to be natural and authentic and stick to the content you're well-versed with because you'll feel confident doing that. Appropriate clothing during interviews can also impress recruiters, and Alexa advises to be 'comfortable in what you're wearing during interviews and consider who will be interviewing you. Additionally, Alexa says it's important to study the company culture.

There's more to the masterclass. Alexa Bailey offers invaluable insights from excelling at presentations and staying on top of the rapidly changing global job market.
