Stand Out in the Job Market: Master the Basics, Nail the Resume, and Ace the Interview

In today’s competitive job market, landing the role you want requires more than just experience—it’s about standing out. According to Lisa Verzella, Monarch’s VP of Client Success, candidates who master the fundamentals make the biggest impression.

“The candidates who get noticed are the ones who show up prepared, communicate clearly, and demonstrate the basics—dependability, motivation, flexibility, and attention to detail,” says Lisa. “It’s not about flashy buzzwords—it’s about showing employers you’re someone they can count on.”
