🌟 Most resume advice from the internet is subjective since there is no "one-size-fits-all." But using Austin Belcak's analysis of 125,484 resumes, I share 5 Golden Rules on how to Write an Incredible Resume in 2021.
Whether you're making a resume for your first job, or improving upon a good resume you already have been using for years, it's very important to get the basics principles right before moving on to fancier resume writing tips.
🤔 So how do write a resume or make a strong CV? Make sure your LinkedIn profile is added to your resume, match relevant keywords by using a Word Cloud on the job description, include measurable results to differentiate yourself from others, keep your resume between 475-600 words in length, and avoid buzzwords at all costs! Who knew writing a good resume would be so simple? 😉
All jokes aside, this video contains practical resume writing tips following each one of Austin's findings, and I walk you through each of the 5 Golden Rules so you know the do's and dont's about writing a resume 💯

I have some questions: 1. I’ve been rejected from about 50 interviews. (In the last one they found the excuse that I could have given more examples. There must have been 20 to 30 perfectly given interviews with no feedback at all. The feedback I got from a lot of them is that they went for another candidate). 2. Before the pandemic it only took around 4 interviews to secure a new role 3. I went to a top business school and have half a decade of experience working for blue chip companies 4. *I’ve been given the advice by some corporate operatives that I could still somehow secure a role at a top company even if I’ve been unemployed for half a dozen years* *Is it discrimination? Is it bias because there is money involved? I would just like to know what is going on as I’m being forced to retire early abroad/take a career break in the summer*..

A better way of making important decisions versus just a typical pros/cons list... For instance, as a fresh grad: a full-time offer with good pay but less appealing industry VS a paid internship in the exact industry you want, but the potential for full-time is not guaranteed?

OMG ok so I was really stoked to come across your video because I love data and the title didn't tell me that it was based off that cool study. Your video was very informative, interesting, and engaging. But most of all I'm thrilled to find out that you were in management consulting because that's the industry I'm trying to get back into. I'll be giving your page a deep dive in the coming days. Thanks!

Great tips Jeff. Just to add to your point of measurable metrics - there is a rule followed in the hiring world called the STAR approach (i.e. how you should structure your bullet points) ... Situation, Task, Action, Result. In one paragraph describe the situation, the task that is required in the situation, the action you took and the result (measurable) that you attained. It works like a charm :)

@JeffSu 3 жыл бұрын

The STAR approach is for the interview because on a resume, a paragraph per job would take up too much space.

@achieving.excellence Жыл бұрын

@@mikey7267 Indeed, the STAR approach is suited for the interview, however, it doesn't require a paragraph. I have successfully used it in bullet points that are two lines max in resumes. The important thing is using the elements to give a comprehensive display of one's experience.

If you're in a field or in a position where you don't have access to business metrics, you're just at a point where you're encouraged to make up numbers in order to even get your resume seen. The job market is literally in a race to the bottom. Love that for us.

You'll need to tailor your resume around the job type you're going for. Find the ad and look at the keywords they use, use the same keywords in your resume, understand what they are looking for and tailor your resume around that.

@johnspence8141 2 жыл бұрын

MOST people go into jobs that have nothing to do with their education, other than maybe very specific stems educations. If you look at peoples careers versus what they studied, its not even close. As for leaving early, I'm not sure it will pop up unless you point it out. And if so, you can phrase it as "I left University to pursue career interests, with the intent to return at a later date." Not sure if that helps

Try tailoring this for the job you're applying for. For some jobs you might need to highlight some areas, for other jobs other areas. What you should be trying to do is to match up your experience and skills to what they say they need on the job ad. Any further explanation can be made in the interview stage.
