If you play fantasy football you know the benefits of making the right choice in the first round. You need to make sure you pick a player that is going to produce the kind of numbers that leads to a championship season. Employers have the same mentality when hiring. Here are three easy tips to make you a top round pick for that job you’re looking for.
Build Your Stats- When you’re looking to draft in the first round you need a guy who proves he can get it done. One of the biggest telling signs for a business is your GPA. A higher GPA tells them you are willing to go the extra mile. It shows that you are dedicated to what you do and are no stranger to hard work. However, it is not the whole story. Let LeSean McCoy be a lesson as people predicted him to break the two thousand yard marker last year based on his previous stats, but at the end of the season he came in with thirteen hundred.
Take Advantage of Opportunities- Sometimes the thing that makes a player stand out is opportunity. C.J. Anderson was relatively unknown until Monte Ball got hurt last year. Now CJ Anderson is considered a top ten pick to most people. Any chance you have to gain experience in your field or be involved is an opportunity you need to take. Experience is great because it shows you understand what the work entails and you have already been exposed to it. Getting involved in clubs that might deal with your field is a great way to network and gain useful insight to your field. Meeting people you might be working with or whom might have a connection that can help you is always a plus. Not to mention they can be a lot of fun.
Diversify Yourself- For me, the most valuable player on my roster is a guy who is able to do more than just his job. Take a look at the top running backs coming off the board in most drafts. They all have one thing in common, they are duel threat backs. These guys can catch the ball as well as run it. When you can offer a business something extra, it is going to go a long way to make you stand out. Being able to speak a different language, having experience with another culture, or even gaining certifications are great ways to diversify yourself. Perhaps taking advantage of a study abroad program can help to expose you to a different culture and as well as separate you from the other candidates.
