Brother you are sharing the resume template in the video.....can you share that resume for viewers
Awesome tips. Love it!
Thank you!
Point 3 is so powerful and probably the hardest one to do for some
@@VerStarr I understand and agree. I do hope people try it out because it can yield some amazing results
ATS is the reason why employee and employer suffer
@@SelfLabByFaraz I understand how the ATS can be frustrating for job candidates. And I also empathize with hiring managers and recruiters who are getting bombarded by 100's of resumes. I recently posted a video that can help you bypass the ATS: th-cam.com/video/zAdVbrb5J9I/w-d-xo.html. Wishing you the best!

Oh btw, I like this format quite a bit - minimal editing, but still open to more graphics/charts/etc as needed 👍
@@johnjacecko1752 thanks JJ! Glad you like this new format with minimal editing. Yep, I'll definitely add graphics/charts/etc as needed.
I’m preparing for an interview next week, and Neeraj’s suggestions in this video are 100% actionable for me as I prepare! In this rough tech job market, it can be easy to forget to be ready with great questions at an interview. Have you ever been at a job and wished you had known about something prior to joining? This is your chance to ask these questions!

@@chuchiyang7031 You're welcome! Yes! It's so important to ask since we don't get what we don't ask for. All the best! You got this 💪🏽
Thxs 4 video! I feel writing those reviews is a waste of time, because at the end of the day. The bosses already has set, if they give u a raise or not 🤔🤷🏽♀️ Thxs for sharing info btw.
You are right, there are cases when the boss has already made up their mind. Why write a fantastic self-review anyway? Best case - your boss gets the data they need to convince themselves and higher-ups that you deserve a raise. Worst case - you get data that this may not be the right company for you. Either way, it's a good moment to reflect, be proud of your accomplishments and leave a record of your great work :)

On 8/1 until I will no longer be with my company. I have been going through the grieving process and I'm not sure when it's going to be over. I've been considering taking time off to get refreshed with the job search. Interviews I have been invited to have been great, but there is an emptiness, like I wouldn't be happy at a new workplace because I don't feel like I'm done with my current company. My question for you is, do I stay until 8/1 to maximize severance or should I just right into a new position? Thank you.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Going through the grieving process is normal and actually quite courageous. I'm glad your interviews have been going well! I understand the feeling of emptiness. Regarding your question, it's hard for me to provide guidance without sufficient context. There are multiple factors to consider-your financial situation, and your emotional and mental well-being. A pros and cons list may help, or you can book a coaching session with me where we can discuss the nuances in detail to help you make the best decision: www.neerajmathrani.com/book. Wishing you the best!
This is excellent, practical advice on finding work that you want to do. It's easy to fall into the trap of getting good at something that you don't like - I can see how this is a great tool to help break free of that trap. Thanks Neeraj!
Thank you! Yes, it's an awesome tool to help you break free and figure out what to do next.
Stick around till the end where I share a powerful reflection question. This question led me to quit my job and start this TH-cam channel. And if you found this video helpful, don't forget to subscribe :)

Ooooh, do you have advise on how to have conversations with HR? I feel like that could be a whole video!!
Hey Ver, do you mean how to ask HR for help with phrasing your feedback or how to ask HR to step in (escalation)?
In this context, probably the latter. But u mentioned how HRs interest is in the company so one should be very cautious when reaching out to HR for help I would think. How does one navigate that?
It depends on the situation. Sorry, I feel like I'm giving a cop out answer. If I was in a situation where there was a clear violation of the company's code of conduct, I would escalate and tell my side of the story to HR. HR is supposed to listen, do due diligence (investigate, gather data, hear all sides of the story) and act accordingly. Depending on the severity of the situation and how things turn out, you may need to get legal help.
I forgot to mention, this story took place over 11 months - from the moment I noticed that leader's toxic behavior to my exit. Hope my story helps you be more strategic with your exit. Remember, you have more power than you think! If you found this video helpful, don't forget to subscribe!
Great advice, Neeraj!
Thanks man! Glad you liked it :)
It relates to what I practice which is “minimalism” . Prioritize quality over quantity and say no to non essential tasks
Love it!
These are great tips! Yes, it's a bit of a hassle, but it would be a shame to have lots of great experience, and never get to show it because the ATS ditched your resume. Put in the effort!
Thanks, my friend! Agreed that it can be a bit of a hassle, but making your resume ATS friendly is well worth the effort! Hopefully, as ATS' get smarter AI, some of the formatting tips won't matter as much.
Pareto principle at its finest 🙏
Love the Pareto principle! Such a simple concept, yet hard to implement cause we feel we need to do everything.
Great video content. And perfect timing as I am just working now on my own review. My big win , though it a year was to migrate to a new operating system and suite of tools.
That's a huge win! I'm sure you have some metrics that are going to make your self review shine even more! Thanks for sharing your win and your kind words! I'm glad you found my video helpful. All the best with your performance review!

❤
Such an amazing book! I keep coming back to it!
Great advice - it’s so easy to take constructive criticism the wrong way.
Yeah, it's a fantastic book! When I catch myself getting defensive, I remind myself that feedback is a gift.
Bro I've heard and observed various interviews of successful people saying that most of today's high earning and top positions in corporate world or business are filled up with sales-people so what is the secret or training of sales people which makes them so great and valuable apart from other trades also which books should i read to understand and implement those strategies to grow in my career as design and site engineer which involves selling as well to commercial construction clients and consultants...
Hey Mohib, unfortunately I don't have expertise in sales so can't recommend any books at the moment. I am also looking to learn this valuable skill. In the future, I can share back any books and courses that I find helpful.
@@neerajmathraniHope to see you doing it 😊👍
@@mohibquadri4053 thank you!
Looks like a good one - will check it out 👍
Nice! Hope you find this book helpful!
I am still shy and socially awkward sometimes. But emotional intelligence has helped me better understand and accept myself. And more importantly, it has helped me better understand others. That empathy and understanding has helped me become a more effective leader. Hope this book helps you too!
Noticing is already pretty nice and then acknowledging would be really nice if a manager cared
Agreed! Thankfully, there are some great managers who do care! I'm hoping my leadership videos inspire more managers to care.
Got this for free at work!
Amazing!!
Sounds like a great title to pick up 👍
Yes! I highly recommend it!
Excellent recommendations here, Neeraj! It's very helpful to have these insights in mind when deciding what edits to make to my resume. I've been guilty of having too much text per bullet, and also clinging to irrelevant experience and having to cut it. Let it go!
Thanks JJ! Glad you find this video helpful! Wishing you the best with your job applications!
Wow!! Mistake number 4 for real?! I’ve thought of maybe 7 out of 13 of these. The tough part about resumes when applying to soooo many jobs tho is what is discouraging I think since not all jobs are the same either and may require small tweaks to get ur resume through the ATS. I’ve found getting the resume through an app as well as somehow getting in touch with a recruiter and sending it to them helps too!
Glad I shared some mistakes that you hadn't thought of :) Yeah, I came across mistake #4 when I was giving feedback on someone's resume last year. Making small tweaks to your resume based on the job and following up with the recruiter are smart moves, my friend!
I'm thinking of doing a live stream where I roast (er provide feedback on) some of your resumes for free. You guys would submit your resume after anonymizing it (i.e. removing your name and any personally identifiable information). Would that be helpful to you? If so, watch out for a community post with more details. In the meantime, if you found this video helpful, do subscribe!
Count me in! I can take the shame 🥲
Sweet! Thanks JJ!
When I'm speaking with someone who ends their sentences with question marks, that's all I hear after a while - not what they're actually saying! Good tip, will check out that book.
It's an excellent book! I've learned so much from it!
All managers have ego. This is great point
We all have egos since we're human :) In my experience, the great managers keep their egos in check and are open to receiving feedback. My hope is to inspire more managers to be open since it leads to building trust and even increasing productivity!
Hi bro, U need a professional TH-cam thumbnail designer?
Thank you, but I'm good right now
Lots of great info Neeraj! Take the time to understand your BATNA before going into an interview: knowing what you have to fall back on if it doesn't pan out is incredibly empowering.
Thanks JJ! Yep, that's definitely empowering!

Bro how to identify pain points & concerns before or after interview to position myself as the solution to recruiters concerns or problems by using loss aversion method or any fear that will motivate the interviewer to hire us directly ? Any books and practical examples to make a positive impact in upcoming interview...
I wouldn't use any fear tactics to motivate them to hire you. I personally ensure that it's a win-win situation where both parties can benefit from the hiring. For concerns/pain points, do you mean what problems they currently have that you can help with? Or do you mean concerns about you?
@@neerajmathrani Yes i mean what problems they currently have which needs solution..
@@mohibquadri4053 the job description should help. But to learn more, you can ask this at the end of the interview, "What is the biggest challenge/pain point on your team right now?" Then give a one-liner succinct answer how you can help.
This is so good! I’ve been victim to the first few examples and the STAR method is so powerful here. Sometimes I also use something I’m currently working on. I used to be a speak technically yo non-technical stakeholders and improved over time to translate my explanations which helped relationships from cross teams
Thanks Ver! I love your idea of sharing something that you're currently working on! It takes courage to be this vulnerable and your excellent personal example shows it! 💪🏼
Have you used any cliché weaknesses in the past? If so, which one? I am pretty sure I have used the perfectionist one many years ago.
It has been a while since I've interviewed for a job, and this will help immensely. I can see that if you follow these steps as a game plan, then as long as you've got the actual skills for the job that you're seeking, you won't get knocked out of the running by oversight and silly mistakes.
Thanks so much for your feedback, JJ!
Using past performance reviews to prep for this interview question is a great idea! After you have that in hand, your response will be authentic and easy to speak to. I like the STAR method to structure your approach.
Thanks for your comment, JJ! Yes, from the hiring manager side, I want to hear authentic answers! And the STAR approach ensures all the key points are covered.
If I was asked "how did you overcome adversity", how should I answer that? Should I get really personal or talk more surface-level?
I would do my best to strike a balance between the two. The adversity can be personal and something related to your job. The important part is what steps you took to overcome the advertsity, and what did you learn from the experience. In the future, I may make a full video about this with an example.
