Hiring Managers Tell Us: The Secrets of Standing Out
We know your first job search isn't easy, so we've partnered with education company Chegg to bring you a new secret weapon.

We won't lie: Your first job search, when you're graduating from college and competing with thousands of other new grads for the best jobs, isn't easy.

So we're bringing you a new secret weapon.

We've partnered with online education company Chegg to bring you an inside look into what hiring managers are really looking for in their entry-level hires. We sat down with recruiters, HR pros, and successful leaders at companies like Uber, Chartbeat, and iCracked and picked their brains about the skills they're looking for, the most common mistakes job seekers make, and the candidates who really shine.

What did we learn? Get a sneak peek with this video—a roundup of hiring managers' best advice on how to stand out in a crowded job market. Then, check out all of the research, even more video tips, and printable job search checklists at Chegg Pulse, a portal that pulls together everything you need to know about landing your dream job.
