I agree, resumes dont matter. Focus on networking and making a decent impression on potential employers. :)

I like your videos and think you're providing a much-needed, fresh look at this process. However, info interviews = old school. I'm surprised you mention them. I've found them to be a trick to get (and haven't heard other people say differently). Long and short, not as easy as it sounds. People are busy and not usually keen on meeting for info interviews. The back and forth of scheduling typically takes time. Add to that, the people being interviewed know (or are concerned no matter how much you tell them otherwise) that you're going to ask for job from them. Long and short, yes, info interviews can be very helpful, but like resumes, they're something of a long shot and certainly not a quick way to move through the process. What clever alternatives do you have to share? Actually, that would be a good video topic. ;-)

What font style and size do you use And in which do you create resume...?

@independentconsultant 2 жыл бұрын

I use Calibri most of the time, The size depends on the sections usually, the Name is the biggest at like 20, then the sections 16, and the text 12-14.

I think a lot of jobseekers who aren't landing quality interviews spend too much time trying to analyze what they are doing wrong. The real problem is that something is wrong, it's that they aren't doing anything UNIQUE that helps them stand out as more than another resume.

Your statement is the basis of a GOOD job search strategy, thanks for sharing Jesse! I hope you're doing well :)

@keifer7813 2 жыл бұрын

Same can be said for companies. They aren't unique, and don't stand out

Linkedin is a huge threat, mandating this means victims of violence & abuse (mostly women)will never be able to move on and start life safely. it's terrifying that we're expected to hand over that information to a third party with no real privacy controls. I can't take any company seriously that gives any gravity to linkedin profiles

THIS NO PRIVACY FOR THE PERSON WHO IS APPLYING FOR ANY JOB...NOT GOOD IDEA INDEED....RESUME SHOULD STAY PRIVATE...SCHOOL INFORMATION ADDRESS OF WHERE THE APPLICANT LIVES...ALL THEIR PRIVATE INFORMATION BECOMES PUBLIC FOR FREE ...BULL SHIT
