How to Self-Promote Effectively During Your Job Search

Self-promotion is an inevitable part of a job search. It’s easy for some applicants to boast about their accomplishments or look at a job posting and think, ‘Sure, I can do that.’ Others might be more modest and find it difficult to proclaim themselves as the best candidate despite wanting the job and genuinely thinking that it is a logical next step and a good fit for them.

Regardless of how comfortable you are touting yourself or how accurately you measure your abilities compared to a job description, you perform an act of self-promotion simply by sharing your intentions and submitting an application.
