Believe it or not I've had more interviews using a 1 page CV with a professional summary. It's short, sweet and definitely concise. I know during interviews that some employers have wondered "What's this guy's deal?" or "Do they know what they're doing here?". The professional summary, for me, is the punch. It's the answer, shows my intentions without giving it all away. Love it!

I have no desire to make work the meaning of my existence and your happiness. Money I need. That's why I want to work for you. Not for fame or glory, but for money. Because of the salary.

Erin this was so thoughtful of you. I love what you said, and about bridging the game. It have been tough for me for years to create my own resume because I felt all of my fiends can create resumes for me when at times they don't know everything that I have done leaving me unsatisfied with the results, yet appreciative. I wanted to really tell employers what I can offer from my passionate expressive self. Nevertheless, I am still working on my resume and will let you know the outcome from your videos. No one has had ever too the time to show me, nor have I ever asked. They just do it for me.

Thank you for this advice and the useful tips and examples! I had applied to jobs with my resume before, but hardly got any responses back. I watched this video and applied it to my resume - updating it with each new application, as suggested. I did all of this yesterday. Today, I received two calls asking to set up an interview with me this week! I am so overly excited and grateful for this advice. And it was fun to change it up with each new application, to see what I could add that fit the job description. I’ll try to come back here after the interviews/when I find out more.

Update 1: I had my first interview with the first company today. It overall went really well, seems to match what I’m looking for in my next job, and even the interviewer said he would highly recommend me to the controller who’s going the hiring. (It’s for an accountant position, which I’ve been dreaming of getting into for years.)

I did a weekly follow up for the first 3 weeks, and repeatedly got told that “something else came up, and they haven’t had a chance to call for the second interview”. It’s been a month since the last time I called, and I never heard anything else. But I’m still looking!

I just found you on TikTok and I’m loving your content! ❤ My main struggle right now is putting together my “About Me”. I am currently in Law Enforcement wanting to get a medical/dental receptionist job. I have no medical or dental experience whatsoever. I will be going back to school this fall for a career in the medical field. So having no degree or direct experience is throwing me off on how to write my “About Me”. If you could give me advice on this that would be amazing and greatly appreciated ❤️ If not, is there a way I can pay to have you review my resume?😅
