Career coach Sital Ruparelia had a post last month on his blog about defining your unique talents. Ruparlia defines unique talents as your natural abilities plus your unique way of expressing those abilities.
By identifying these unique talents, Ruparelia says, you can start defining what makes you different and better from other job hunters, which can help your resumé and cover letter stand out. And after landing a job, you can use the same approach to identify your unique contribution to your employer, something that will come in handy when it's time for performance review and salary-raise negotiations.
