Fear not â€" just because the competition is high doesn’t mean your chances of scoring the job you want are nonexistent. Make sure you stand out from the crowd by being specific on how you â€" and only you â€" can best fit the company. Tim Toterhi, executive coach and founder of Plotline Leadership , advises supplementing your resume and cover letter with a “side by side one-pager that lists the big ticket items from the job description and how exactly you will tackle those if awarded the role.” Use previous experiences listed in your resume to demonstrate how you can deliver these promises: “If you can back up your assertions with metrics and proof points from prior positions that’s even better.” Ultimately an employer has already determined that you are qualified for the position â€" what’s important is what you specifically can bring to the position; Toterhi says, “ What I need to know is why you can do it better than anyone else.” Methodology: For a job to be considered for “Six-Figure Jobs With the Most Competition” report, job titles must have 1,000 unique U.S. active direct employer openings as of 5/18/2018, and 100 apply starts between 4/10/2018 â€" 5/10/2018. A job must have also received at least 30 salary reports shared by U.S.-based employees between 6/1/2016 and 5/16/2018 on Glassdoor. This list reveals just a sample of jobs in which U.S. employees report a total median annual compensation of $100,000 or more.
