Factually, I did that bolding key phrases on my resume, leading the readers eyes to what “I” want them to see. A couple hiring managers at an engineering/tech career fairs told me that was a big deal for them, because they can stay on point and grasp the person from the paper. It works

Hey Harshibar. Great work here. Liked the celebratory walk. Congratulations! A quick question: did any of the recruiters ask you to corroborate the numbers and percentages you used to portray the impact you created in specific roles or projects? KZfaq, I understand. It has a dashboard for visualisation and analysis plus the shareable and publicly viewable videos themselves are proof of concept but, what about other roles or projects. I'm a fresher looking for Product roles hence, I am trying to craft the best resume I can and since I have a lot of numbers that convey a tangible impact, I am on the fence about including them

Very helpful video! Curious if you could make a follow-up or add a comment on how you also made the resume ATS friendly? Sometimes making resumes feels like an exercise in keyword stuffing and the good meaty content gets lost in an attempt to keyword stuff and make it past the bots. Thanks again for this video!!!

While preparing, have you ever felt fomo for leaving the tech role and thought what if you get into pm just to realize it wasnt for you? I am also concerned of the salary cut that I might have to go through while switching. Was that any concern for you as well?

These resume tips are gonna be HECKING helpful later on ✨ The "show don't tell" part is deffo what I need to improve. I wanna ask, what would you say is the best way to say you have "some experience before, but not in an actual workspace"?

@harshibar 2 жыл бұрын

I would show that through the types of experiences you list in your bullets. For example, when discussing my Software Engineering job, the bullets I wrote mostly described the PM-type work I did (gathering requirements, user shadowing, etc). This way, they will see you have that experience, even if you didn't have the formal title.

I have a question - I have a BA in Tourism Management, but I left that career 4 years ago. Since then, I have been involved in various digital business growth strategies and I discovered that I am good at being PM. Now I made a Google PM Certificate, and I am looking for a PM job. In Education field in resume, would you place BA in Tourism or PM Google Certificate? It is good to have a BA, but in that case it is irrelevant...Thank you for your help!

hey! i am a senior about to major in ba comp sci (just because i cant stand physics). at this university, both the bs and ba programs are from the college of engineering and applied sciences the only difference in the degree being that for bs you need phy and chem and then for ba its another minor or certificate, anyways all the cs courses requirement are the same and are taught by the same teachers (bs is abet accredited, ba is not). however, my desi mom thinks that ba is for people who barely passed high school and it is impossible to get a job with a ba. do you think that employers show a distinguishment between ba and bs when hiring or at the end of the day does it wind down to just experiences and skills?

@harshibar 2 жыл бұрын

No, I don't think employers care about having a BA vs BS. I have a BA in CS since my school only offers BA degrees, and I don't think that ever mattered in job applications. Like you said, it just winds down to experience and skills.

Hey! I usually didn't update my resume for each job description, but I did make a few versions of my resume that were tailored to different sectors (startup, FAANG, banks, etc) with content/formatting that suited each. For companies I was excited about, I also used a somewhat boilerplate cover letter and personalized one paragraph to describe my interest in the role. Hope that helps! I know the job market is tough, I wish you the best!

This might be a little late, but what metrics did you track and how did you calculate the overall boosted productivity?

@harshibar 2 жыл бұрын

I used ‘hours spent’ to measure productivity. So for example, if a workflow went from taking 10 hours to 4 hours, that’s a 60% increase in productivity (if I’m doing my math right). Maybe not the cleanest metric though 🤷🏽‍♀️
