I love the concept of being unique. Honestly, I think this a difficult idea in a society where many people are trying to blend in and be the same as others around them. It is what is unique about us that makes us memorable and valuable to others, because it is our differences in talents and abilities that allow us to make up for each others shortcomings. That is what will make us valuable to companies.

My question is, "What are ways others can see that I differentiate myself?"

How do I differentiate myself? I think I am fairly subtle in this idea. I always try to be polite and listen to people more than asserting myself or my own ideas on others. This is useful sometimes, but I know there is a balance that needs to be a part of this.
On a more visual aspect of this, my sophomore year I realized that I walk differently that others. Random, but I have been told I walk like a model or dancer, or other things in a similar vein. One of my roommates was able to find me in a crowd by the way I walked with confidence, and for the rest of the year I had the nickname strut. This would not be so helpful in an interview, but it is unique.
