There are a whole lot of people looking for the same opportunity you are looking for, so you need to be different in a way or more to actually beat the competition and be favored by employers and get the job ahead of other applicants.
Your interview starts with your application letter, and the documents you submit like your resume and cover letter. That is the first to demonstrate to the employer that you possess what he wants, but that is just the first step.
Have you ever been at an interview and you find thousands of applicants showing up for a handful of vacant positions? Automatically you are thrown off balance and maybe you start losing confidence.
If you feel you cannot land the position you want because of a massive turn out of applicants, then you really do not deserve that position. The problem should not be the number of people applying but your quality. With proper research on the company and the interviewer, right skill, and confidence, you stand a big chance.
An applicant should very importantly possess the skills that have been advertised, which the company needs. However, you should be aware that thousands of applicants possess such skill, and some even more.
Your soft skills as well as your hard skill all count, so try to acquire as much as you can. Skills such as communication skills, technical competency, work ethic, ability to work with the team, problem-solving skills are all essential.
