How do you make yourself stand out?

To be honest, that is something I try not to do. That is not because I am afraid
of the limelight, but because I prefer doing things in the background. I am a go
getter and I work best outside the limelight. I would work hard to make sure
everything is going well and am ok not to get the credit. For example, being
consultants, the first and foremost hurdle we have to encounter at the client
side is to get the required access in their system. I make sure I understand
what the process is and proactively build rapport with the IT and provisioning
guys at the client. I make sure that they have all the information and more to
provision our requests. I reach out to them and acknowledge their workload and
once the requests are provisioned make sure to send a thank you. I keep in touch
with them to maintain the relationship and that ensures that we never have
access or system issues throughout the project. Most of the time my team doesn't
know how I do it, but understand that I can get it done. Same is the case for
any tribal knowledge that we need to perform our product, I make sure that my
team has it.

I have a strong empathy, good at empathizing with the behind reasons and
emotions of people's actions.

Empathy can help me as a UIUX designer to understand user behavior and
preferences, and then find the root of the problem and pain point, so as to
propose a better user journey and experience.

2. Furthermore, I have a mature visual sense and a keen eye for color. In my
previous roles at Cherrypicks and Green Tomato, I was primarily responsible for
the design direction and pitching  of the products. These experiences have
helped me understand the visual preferences of different customers, allowing me
to design comfortable and unified interfaces that guide users to continue using
the apps.
