During my exchange in China, the local students were sharing with us the culture and interesting facts about China. Being one of the largest country in the world with billion of citizens, the reason why majority of the people speaks loudly is because it is a necessity to stand out from the crowd. I feel that there might be some truth to it (FYI: some say it display honesty and auspicious - imitating the fire crackers) This works the same for different situations, that's why I believe in diversity - where being different is how we set ourselves apart and also bring us all together.

Linking it to a professional setting - Thinking back, how I differentiated myself from other candidates would be showcasing something extra in addition to my scope of work. Mentioning your extra curriculum or activities would be helpful in setting yourself apart. For example, I would share with interviewers on the overseas secondment opportunities to Myanmar & Australia. Understanding the fact that the hiring managers interviewed many other auditors with similar background, showcasing something different would pique their interest. 

It is not too late to find out what you can value add to your career/company and eventually your resume, ask yourself what more can you do and how can you differentiate yourself from others! #foodforthought
