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!!

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!!!

Andrew, I've been out of work for almost a year. I've rewritten my resume 3 times with no success. Last week I watched your resume building webinar and immediately reworked my resume and uploaded it on a job site and applied for jobs. Before I did anything else, someone saw my resume ( I hadn't applied to this company), emailed me for an interview and by the end of the week I was hired! Thank you.

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.

Andy is right. It just takes 6 seconds for an employer to either qualify or disqualify you for a job. A useful tool that I use to make eye-catching CVs is Canva. Highly recommended. Would also just add to make sure you use correct spelling, grammar and spacing and check multiple times. How you write on your CV says a lot about you, and how good or bad you would be as potential employee. You don’t want potential employers to think you are unprofessional.

Thanks for the tips Andrew. I disagree with the part of not including a personal goal. If I listen to a recruiter from a certain company suggesting not to include this or telling me that they don’t want to waste time seeing this information, that to me would mean that they’re not interested in a win-win relationship since they are not really considering the candidate’s personal needs as much as their business needs. I have also read many resumes in my professional life and in my perspective an individual selling or offering their experience and talent to a company is also a human being with real life goals. The objective of a recruiter is to also find out the best matching relationship between business and personal interests and needs. Personal goals can help you define if a person might be a better candidate to a position and also to identify if the company will be able to offer the candidate whatever he/she is looking for. In resume, I think personal goal is as important as value proposition. Is a win-win relationship.

Hi Andrew! This is the 1st video I have watched. There are 3 questions I have right now: 1. What if a person has more than 10 years of experience and, let's say, 5 to 6 companies he/she has worked in? How to fit them into 2 pages along with some position description and achievements, education and trainings? 2. You say the list of (generic) skills shouldn't be there. Great, then how would I make my resume match the keywords of the job announcements containing those generic or specific skills to be matched to win the ATS? 3. You said the recruiters look for powerful companies in an applicant's resume. What about hundres of thousands of skilled immigrant professionals who moved to US, having worked in great and pretty powerful companies in their countries, about which an average American recruiter has never ever heard? What to do in such cases? No chance for immigrants to get good jobs? Thanks in advance for your reply.
@andylacivita7 жыл бұрын
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!
@andylacivita7 жыл бұрын
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!
@lichitchyan7 жыл бұрын
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.

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!

A typical job post receives HUNDREDS and sometimes THOUSANDS of resumes many of whom are evenly qualified. Most hires are hired for reasons other than their resume.

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.

If a resume is two pages, should it be printed as two pages or is a front and back format acceptable?
@andylacivita5 жыл бұрын
Make them separate pages do the interviewer can take notes more easily.
@AnalyticalMenace5 жыл бұрын
Two pages, numbered at the top, and paperclip them together. Do NOT staple your resume!

@Andrew Lacivita I laughed so loud when you mentioned your salmon shirt! I was completely being a bah humbug the entire morning and the moment that I watched your video or should I say saw your video for the 1st 10 seconds it brightened my day! I hope you are fabulous in person as well as you are to work with! Many times I skip and end videos like this in about six seconds the same amount of time it takes you to look at a resume. In all seriousness, I appreciate individuals who take the time to educate others on how they can present themselves in the best manner. I've work in the same two industries for about 20 years and resumes are still my weak point. I have done so many things in my life and I have been proud of so many things equally that it's hard for me to boil it down and when did the ADD kicks in I tend to go rambling on. In order to be concise and clear I have had to ask friends to help me. This video is really awesome. It is organized, clear, concise and has good content.

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. ❤

Do you think it is important to have city/state for each employer listed on the resume? Assuming there will be a formal application to fill out if you are selected for the position which would contain that info for background check purposes. And do companies really contact former employers anymore? They are not permitted to say anything really except their job title and dates of employment.
@andylacivita4 жыл бұрын
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.

Hello Andrew. I left my last job in mid 2017, since then I have been unemployed but in full time study; should I still place my education at the end and have employers see that 2 year gap in my work history right away, or can I leave it at the start where it currently is?
