It is expected from every new employee that they raise the bar for that role and take it to heights not attained by their predecessor. Based on this, take another look at your resume and see if it reflects how passionate you are about the field. This implies you have gone above and beyond in your old position and you are hungry to achieve more and improve yourself.

Your drive should be on display, and there’s a good reason for that, too: your potential employer will like to see that you are self-motivated to achieve goals on your own without having to be motivated by others. Does your resume reflect how you implemented solutions in the workplace that improved workflow? Were you able to achieve or even surpass your goal? Highlight those major projects that demand a lot of initiative which you have embarked on and accomplished through certain activities like taking extra classes online, going back to actual class for tutorials or trainings, networking, or reading specific books just for that purpose.
