Haha, yeah that was fun to film and match up. Trying to make a dull topic interesting to watch. I wanted to be thorough on something this important. I have my own ideas of what makes you successful and they've worked for me so far but, I thought it would be good to hear from some people on the other side of the table. Thanks for watching Allen and thanks again for hanging out last night!
@@ConstructionMachineryChannel it's really exciting to see the community develop. One of the most exciting aspects of last night was the fact that while I was chatting away there was a whole conversation happening in the comments between guys that have become friends.
Wanted to thank you for the video and leaving a link to your resume. I pretty much deleted your info and typed in my own but kept the overall layout of the document. Thank you again man.
This was a thorough and well planned video that presented well. Great video for someone who has never built a resume or if someone wants to update their old one. Well edited and communicated well
Man, You've just shown exactly what I wanted to know about how to get into the construction market there in North America! I have a sandstone quarry here in South America. I have experience with portable machines (angle grinders, ground cutters and demolition hammers) and a medium duty truck (I wrote 'truck' because I have only one, for now). I hope to get my Green Card soon and then I'll reach my greatest dream! Thank You so much. My name is Fabio.
Hello, I’m currently helping my husband update his resume and came across this video. Super informative 👍 I was looking to see if you posted a copy of the template?
First off, I'm laughing at Nunya Business location lol I'm a job developer for a high grant in CA, I work with graduates from construction programs. This video has helped me tremendously! thank you.
I wish I had a chance to watch this before I sent out an application today 🤦🏼♂️😂 anyway great video man! This is exactly what I needed.... even for future reference! Btw I think my favorite part of the resume was 785 nunyabusiness rd. 🤣🤣
@@DieselandIron always a pleasure hanging out on your live stream🤙 Just got in from plowing not long ago going to get some sleep now and then back out tonight🤙
Bryan Thanks for that! Much needed. On your CV I noticed you got your degree in 2009 which is cool but this leaves a gap between that time and 2017. I've always been advised gaps on CV's are a massive no no. I am assuming it was most likely irrelevant history so you took it out I am just curious if an employer ever asked you about the gap and if so what was your response? Or what would you say?
Thanks for watching! The general rule of thumb is that you want to list the three (possibly four) most recent jobs on your resume. Everyone expects that a gap will form between your current jobs and when you get your resume as you progress through your career. That being said, let's say I did a small one or two year stint in a position that was completely unrelated to the industry and left that off of my resume. If I were asked about what I was doing during that time I would explain that the job didn't seem relevant to the current position I was applying for and offer to provide that employers contact information if they wanted to call and verity my employment. That will put them at ease that you weren't doing anything to raise red flags during that gap in your resume.
Hey man I have a question. I remember in one video of you saying you used to operate construction equipment in the field and you eventually started working for a construction equipment dealership. Do you always need a bachelors degree to get into sales like what you do? If you do can you give me some other opportunities to work as at a company like yours?
Hey Sam, sorry for taking a bit to reply. Not all dealerships require a degree and I would argue that field experience is far more valuable than a degree. To get into sales you'll need to have a pretty charismatic personality and be pretty outgoing. A good working knowledge of the equipment overall will help you go a long way. As far as specifics to the machines that dealership sells, they will train you on that. If you are looking to move into that side of the business I would start looking at job posting boards. On your previous work experience you'll want to focus more on tasks that were detail oriented, required follow ups and multitasking. These are all good traits for a salesperson to have.
Hi sir my name is prashanta from Singapore .I would like to work in Canada in construction sector.i have 10 years of experience.so I would like to know how can I get construction supervisor,or helper visa from Singapore.?

Thanks Phil! I wanted to have some fun with this one since it's such a dry topic. I appreciate all the kind words brother! I'm hoping this video can help existing operators looking to update their resumes as well. Thanks again man!
But if you see anyone show up on a Jobsite wearing his Brown polyester 3 piece man of Leisure suit wearing a hard hat run away fast he's going to explode ...
@@DieselandIron Haha!! But a serious question about the paper part. Do you feel it is better to do it the old fashioned way in the HEO industry- that is, a good printed resume and show up and hand it to the decision maker in person? With the way times are, everyones nervous, and wanting emailed versions- but does anyone read emailed resumes?
@@codyapplegarth Great question. In the world of Covid this is a tough question to answer because it really depends on the contractor as to whether or not they are accepting in person visits. My personal mentality has always been, if you can physically get in front of someone, do it. It's really easy for someone to cast aside an email or a piece of paper they've received from someone without a face. When you are able to hand that piece of paper over in person, wearing a nice button down shirt, having put effort into your appearance, you make an impression. Even if it's a quick handshake and a "nice to meet you," that still makes you a person in the mind of the owner or the HR rep. If they are sorting through 20 different resume's, you now have an advantage over the other 19 guys that emailed it in. Thanks for the question Cody!
Be sure and catch the end of the video for some of the only sexy resume footage on TH-cam!
Thanks for the credit and shout out Brian! Loved watching this video and I’m glad that I can learn what to put and how to put experience on my resume.
You got it man! Let me know if you have another topic you want covered.
@@DieselandIron Of course man I will think of something no worries!!
I like the wardrobe change, good editing Bryan. You really did your research on this one, contacting all those companies.

@@DieselandIron No problem, your livestream is getting a bit of an audience. It's cool checking in with the guys on there.

@@DieselandIron Yeah, it's cool to kind of check up on everyone and see how they have been.
Wanted to thank you for the video and leaving a link to your resume. I pretty much deleted your info and typed in my own but kept the overall layout of the document. Thank you again man.
Absolutely! That's exactly how I wanted this to be used. Feel free to reach out if you've got questions moving forward.

Good video but you're paper fetish might make you want to get back into the office industry?? Maybe show some grease gun tips?
That means I get to use words like nipple and slippery. I think we can pull off another sexy video segment doing a grease gun video...
