Bonus tip: I also like to keep a "master resume" for my own records. This is a longer document that lists EVERY job I've had, club I've been a part of, award I've won, etc. By keeping all of this in one place, you'll have a single document you can refer to for deciding which items should go on each tailored resume you submit for individual job openings. Plus, if you're ever interviewed or asked to write a personal statement or bio, it gives you something to reference.

I am 58 Years old and leaving my business to take a regular job. Never wrote a resume before, but this video is absolutely the best I have found on being helpful to me. Looked at a few others, but this one actually followed what he taught. Simple and got to the point quickly.

I’m a corporate recruiter, I agree with most of this except the gpa advice. I’m reviewing top notch candidates with great skills and with a high pool of candidates you may get placed in the gold pile with a lower gpa which is not good. This is especially true for internships or other entry level type of opportunities. It’s fine to have the conversation later, but I feel noting a gpa below 3.5 gives a reason for a recruiter to pass you up. After you’ve had internships typically gpa does not matter anymore.

I can't thank you enough for this video. I am sat here, stressed to the max over my CV and was in total meltdown until I came across your video. Thanks for all these great tips. Back to my CV now.

As far as the skills section, I think that if you're applying for a job at a school or place where you'll be working with kids, it is actually a good idea to include soft skills on there
