That its just not exciting enough having done basically the same thing at 3 diff places

Hi There! If you let me know your specific job, perhaps I can give you some tips to make it appear more exciting on your resume. You can also highlight some of the greatest, different skills you learned in each job. Together, all that experience can show you're extremely knowledgeable about that job. If you let me know, I'll do my best to help you!!

Ok, what do you do if you have worked for very few companies or say none at all?

Hey there! I can help you with that. There are different answers depending on whether you have NO experience or SOME experience. Can you do me a favor and let me know: 1) if you have no work experience and, if so, which field/job you'd like to enter (I'll tell you what to put on your resume if I know what you want to do) 2) if you have some work experience, and if so, which jobs have you held and which field you'd like to enter (that will help me understand and cite how to apply what you'd do to what you want Hope to hear from you soon!!!

I'm a newcomer in Canada without work experience in the new country and the Canadian recruiters don't know the companies I worked for in my country.

Which job site did you upload your resume to?

Hi Andrew. Is there any app out there on the Google play store that I can upload my 2 page cv and have it scanned to remove the rubbish. Love the videos. Sean, Dublin Ireland

Where did you see his resume?

Love to hear this Radiya!! Congrats!!!!!

Red, this made me laugh out loud. Yes. You speak the truth!

Because people don't understand how many apply. I was Editor-in-Chief at a games media company and when we were searching for an editor, we got 10.000 applications per week. It was nuts. We've ended up hiring an HR agency because our two HR people and me were not able to handle all the applications to find the right editor within 2 months. By now we've automated a lot with filter systems even though you always run the risk of filtering out someone great.

@@DerDudelino All you described is a symptom of an even bigger problem high unemployment rates all over the world

@@DerDudelino so you wat to say that in order to find the right candidate all 10000 applications were reviewed???

It's kind of disconcerting knowing how much company names matter more than titles, because I only worked at a bunch of non-descript places. Some with mediocre reputations.

Robert, thank you for this! Glad it's helping!!

Do you have the template that can be downloaded?

Yessssss!!!

Thanks much Tony. Appreciate that!

Great to hear!!

Great to have you Aura!

Well said

True A G. So true.

Good to hear buddy. Don't be afraid to "show off" your experience at the top. Get them excited!

Wanderlei Grando! First of all, thank you so much for watching the video and taking the time to comment. Thanks too for the kind words. I'm always looking for feedback regarding what resonates with people, how they like to learn, and, of course, what they find annoying! It's nice to hear you like the simplicity of the videos. I try to keep the fun, quick, education, and a bit entertaining. I hope you keep watching. Have a great weekend!

Hey There, check out my video on this one trick will make your college resume stand out!

I’m gonna do that during my live shows.

Use that energy Vera to work toward your dream. you deserve it!!!

welcome to real life, short contracts so they can dump you whenever they decide and even if it is leading role to perm they will put you on prob and also they can dumb you in meantime when they want and all perm jobs are all through connections and they are all looking specific things which nobody has. I had last year 30 job interviews and I hardly got job on short contract.

If they ask you why the shaky job life, respond that this was temp assignments to keep me a float which also builds skills which led me to this opportunity that I am interviewing for. My own opinion. I wonder what Andrew says to that.

Patel Mayur you’re welcome Patel. Lots of luck with this!

Karla Martinez wishing you the best of luck Karla! My fingers are crossed for you!

Hi Liana, thanks for watching and thanks for your question! 1) It's okay to reduce the amount of information you provide on the earlier jobs. Still list them. Just condense the amount of information. 2) If you want to include generic terms (leadership, communication, etc.), don't list them. Sprinkle them throughout your resume and JUSTIFY them. Also, many people in my community recommend jobscan.co to check you resume match with job descriptions. Lastly, if you haven't already seen it, check out my video on how to build the ultimate professional resume!

Ooops. I just saw you had a number 3. I didn't use the word powerful to describe the companies. I mentioned good companies. Companies don't need to be household names to be great. There are loads of wonderful smaller companies too. For people who've worked outside the US, it's important to provide the brief description under the company name to explain what it is. Watch How to build the ultimate professional resume and you'll see what I mean!

Hi Andrew, Thanks for your replies. One more clarification here - I personally use jobscan.com to check my resume and cover letter match with the job descriptions I am interested in. One of the key parameters there, along with the keywords, is the word count, so adding information about companies might decrease the number of useful words that would better describe me, my capabilities and achievements.. Would appreciate your opinion on ATS (have gone through many of your videos, but haven't found anything on the so far), words count, and my reasoning on this comment. Thanks in advance.

Yea... Isn't salmon pink? His shirt is red

For me too.

It's red

Looks like same color as youtube bar/color... Just 250 shades of red

He said HOT salmon color lol

Rhonda, head to my blog and download the stay at home parent booklet. I'm not sure if that's your situation, but the concepts apply.

Wonderful to hear this. We have some coming and are always looking for great ideas and issues you might be having.

I would say my biggest issue/concern is the balance between using the relationship I already have and not assuming my employer/manager already knows everything I do. I feel like it is fine line to walk sometimes, but I typically still default to explaining more than I typically would. Also resumes are a little tricky... should they look different than what an external candidate would submit? How should a cover letter look for me as an internal candidate? I have head of listing job accomplishment on resumes instead of job duties for internal resumes... Ex. Selected to chair “x” committee for the department from ‘17-‘18... Anyway, I have enjoyed watching your videos and though your take on internal advancement and your take on different nuances you think are most important. Thanks for replying! I look forward to all your future videos. The more we learn, the better prepared we will be to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves!

Yes! :)

Rosanne, I look at companies, but the companies only need to be great. They can big small, medium, or large size. I know 10 person companies who are awesome. Recruiters who are looking for talented people in their space know the solid companies!

Yeah, cause I work nonprofit. We do great work, but you wouldn't know my company.

Glad it was helpful!

Tay, I love it. Thank you so much for engaging in my work. Thanks too for letting me know. You have no idea how nice it is to hear people are engaging. It's what keeps us teachers and trainers going. If we think people aren't listening, it's hard to stay motivated. LOL. Have a Happy New Year!

No problem. I also shared your video with a few of my friends and registered for you webinar. I've looked at tons of these video's on here and you're the only one mentioned since I'm in college I need to be doing a different résumé. I had no clue.

Your first statement is partially true. They’re filled wok lots of apps. Most of whom are not evenly qualified. Your last statement is very true.

Dougie, check out my video on how to build the ultimate professional resume. You get an entire template with instructions too.

Andrew, Thank you.

Watch some of his additional videos

Make them separate pages do the interviewer can take notes more easily.

Two pages, numbered at the top, and paperclip them together. Do NOT staple your resume!

Love to hear it!!!

intisar wilson glad you liked it!!

Mahananda, check out my collegiate template. See the video on this one trick will make your college resume stand out!

Angelina! This brightened MY DAY too!

@@andylacivita I'm glad because I genuinely meant it. You got straight to the point and laid it out. Your vibe is amazing although I can tell you DEFINITELY are a bit spicy lol. Anyway. Sometimes we forget how special we are or ya know 5 million other generic words lol..so it's nice to be reminded. I hope you remember that! I have a question. I am looking for a job right now and am transitioning from one career to another..but with many of the same skill sets I used in the past. I am having a hard time making a headline in terms of how I WILL be an asset. Do you have an email where strangers can reach you lol? I just need some pointers as to summing it all up so it isn't as long as this here message. I'm sure you'd get very angry if you saw my resume..so I want to take your advice. ❤

You're welcome Tricia!

Nichole, I include them, but it's not all that important. It's nice to show if you WANT the locale to be noticed.

I went in for an interview and the hiring manager primarily focused on my dates. It really was just ridiculous. He asked me over and over about them and calling my employers. That's what the numbers are there for right? I always hope they call them. They will get an earful about how great I am. Lol I'm jk.

Thank you Andy! Can't say enough about how much great info is in these videos! You rock!

Thanks Cynthia!!!

SWEET. I have an entire resume playlist on the channel. Enjoy!

You’re welcome Pablo!

Brittany, great question. Yes. Yes, definitely list those skills. Just list them in sentence format so the ATS can pick the up. Skill 1, skill 2, skill 3 etc.

@@andylacivita What if we have more relevant skills that they're looking for and this makes the resume go longer than 2 pages?

Wonderful to hear Ma Ma!!!

habitant71 you're welcome. Good luck!!

That's right Bruna! Get something exciting up top!!! See my other video on how to build the ultimate professional resume!

I know..I though the same

Fresh out the pin looking for a new direction should get you noticed!

Bruna lol right? Who's been spreading that rumor? I've had an objective section for years, even though I always thought it was stupid.

I recently learned that they prefer summaries. Summaries, as he stated, gives the moment to brag about yourself instead of the objective which tells them what you want.

Hang in there Martha. You should also check out the video on my KZfaq channel regarding how to respond to the "overqualified statement."

Andrew LaCivita thank you. I appreciate it.

Martha Farahat you’re welcome!

Glad it helped Jerry and lots of luck with the resume!

Good luck my friend. Fingers are crossed for you!!!!

Only if it's super high Baker!

Thanks Diane! So glad you liked it!

You can move it up top if you'd like Rebecca, but I would keep the education below your career profile. Check my videos on how to build the ultimate professional resume and also the one I released this week on how to handle employment gaps!

Great question Jesus. It can be 1 page but it’s okay if it’s 2 pages as well. Just don’t make it 3 pages!

@@andylacivita even if we still have more relevant skills that they're looking for?

Robert Gelley thanks so much Robert. So glad you liked it!
