Are Value Qualifiers useful to get jobs?

Question

I was thinking that doing Value Qualifier[s] might be a good strategy to play to stand up from the crowd to land a job in this market, but I&rsquo;m afraid that it would hardly pay off given the amount it takes to create a good one and the chances to get the work noticed. Had any of you succeeded in using value qualifiers for landing an interview? Put simply, do they work?What is a Value Qualifier? A Value Qualifier is a proposed solution for a key problem that the company is facing delivered to the hiring managers to showcase applicants&rsquo; skills to qualify for the role regardless of background and seniority. Aka your ticket to skip the line. Usually particularly adopted by people who are trying a career switch or have just started their first job search. I learned the term on LinkedIn from Andrew Bowker, despite the brand new terminology the concept isn&rsquo;t new.

It seems quite arrogant and out of touch to claim that you have solutions to problems you know nothing about, especially if you have limited experience.
