To get yourself noticed, go above and beyond
For my first job in television, I wanted to make myself stand out amongst the
thousands of applicants all equally able and willing to get their chance at working in one of the most diverse and upcoming production companies in the UK. I sent my potential employers a pizza with the following message printed in the lid "Wanted to give you a pizza my mind and say thanks for the interview". Research is key. Find out all you can about the job you are going for and the people who are ultimately responsible for making the decisions. Then use your initiative to go above and beyond and make your application stand out.
Find inspiring people who share your work to worth with
No matter how great and unique you are, it's always better with someone else. Seek to work with the best and most knowledgeable people in the field you're hoping to succeed in.
