Such an informative one! Thanks Kajol! You perfectly ran us through all the resumes & showing what works and doesnt work but can you give us like a summary of do’s and don’ts from all the resumes that you reviewed? I mean just as a suggestion, perhaps a final checklist once we prepare the resume you know, I think that could add more value too:) Your videos are So So So helpful! And knowing how busy you’re through ig, girl you really working your ass off! Appreciate your videos coming out EVERY SINGLE week without fail👏🏽 Nothing can beat your consistency🤩 not even the KZfaq algorithm lol💪🏽

what's your opinion on the below queries: 1. Should the experience details on CV be exact copy on LinkedIn profile or some changes are fine? 2. Do we really need to mention the experience details on LinkedIn? As in, just the roles and company you worked?

@KajolPhadnis 3 жыл бұрын

1. Some changes are fine. You don't need to add all your experiences on your CV or LinkedIn for instance but in no instance should they be contradicting each other 2. I think of LinkedIn add role and company but for the latest ones, a couple of lines of what your responsibility won't hurt you. Hope this helps :) 😀

I just want to add that every country has different norms when it comes to the question, how a CV should look like. In Germany it is very common to apply with a photo and some personal data. Furthermore, it is not helpful to put to much information in one page. Use more space that will make it more convenient for the recruiter to read. otherwise recruiters wwould be overwhelmed by to much information. So I think being on point is better thant writing too much. You just cannot deny the visual effects, because that is also one aspect, which helps you to stand out......Btw I am really impressed by all these CVs!!! All of the are really smart people. Lots of achievements and experiences in just a very young age.amazing. Compared to them I feel really dump.

@KajolPhadnis 3 жыл бұрын

Yep, this is the UK and USA view :) We definitely prefer 1 page here. The CV's were amazing right!! Noooo, don't compare yourself. You're AMAZING in your own way!

Hi Kajol, could you make a video about how people who work in management consulting should write on their external resume for other firms. Since we can't disclose client information, or any details that is against privacy. thank you

@25MK 2 жыл бұрын

Surely if you have your LinkedIn on your CV then people will know what you look like? Hence the same effect as having a picture on your CV?

Extremely informative video Kajol. Many thanks for this. Could you please discuss in any of your future videos, how to write impact if there aren't particular statistics involved in it. For example: helped client in making a binary decision or like built and delivered a model that has been deployed and is currently being used in the client organization but there isn't any performance metric associated to it ? Secondly, are high school grades required if one has higher degrees ? Thanks in advance for your time.

I'm in a rough spot with making a LinkedIn because my titles haven't reflected my duties. For instance I was a specialist but I was the team analyst -and so on. Also, my experience covers multiple fields of expertise even though I'm pretty young. My question is should I make 2 (I know it's against the rules) but I find that being an accomplished investigator across safety, corporate crime, insurance etc unrelated to product development or my IMDB page. How do I overcome this
