I love this guy...and his ideas too are simply genius. Hiring Managers today rarely ever hire the most talented for the job anyway, as they come up with many dump criteria. In my current job, i look at my manager who goes to interview candidates, he has zero idea of what we really do in the Team..but he is still out there looking for political numbers as this video accurately portrays! This video is gold, the presenter is genius level witty and clever....you need to be smart yourself to follow his train of thoughts.
I worked for a company that the manager always offered people jobs at the interview as he admitted to other managers that he 'hated interviews'. I got my job after a brief 10 minute chat. The real important thing is to get your resume in front of the hiring manager
Hey David. I met you at Dreamforce a few years back. You were bummed because you failed a cert exam that day. You had a great attitude and said you’re just going to try again and you’ll crush it next time. At that point I had one cert. now I have 7 and going for architect. I’ve had a few exam fails along the way but never forgot your positive attitude that day. Thanks man!
Being in the IT industry for 10 years taught me that "The ones who really solve things are afraid to promote themselves, while the ones who are not for real, promote themselves like hell... " If it's based on numbers and results, there is no problem with it.. just be careful to not look like a DB!
Thank you David, you are always a great source of inspiration for everyone and me. Whenever I meet you in person, I always feel that same motivation. "You should know All and All means All"... Thanks for sharing these awesome tips, was eagerly waiting for this resume post.👍👍👍
Thank you so much David, I think this is the best video I ever saw about writing resumes! The saddest thing is that I need to write a completely new resume, but this time it'll be really great. Thanks for sharing so much knowledge for free :D
This is great! I am having a lot of trouble with my resume. I’m relatively new in the SF ecosystem and come from a background as nurse practitioner. All of my achievements, awards, etc. have to do with medical! Do you have any tips for building a stand out resume when you’re changing careers and relatively new? I’m not feeling great about my resume at all, and I do not think a computer would recognize it for a Salesforce job at this point. So far, I’m a little over 3 months in, have Admin cert, 97 badges, just landed volunteer admin role with Red Cross, and have created one personal use app. I’m currently still working as a nurse practitioner but am seeking an admin role as an entry point.
It's true. As an individual who is putting himself out there every single time you apply to a job, you have to do this stuff otherwise you get overlooked.
Love this video..such good, simple advice. I stopped watching the vid after a few seconds and grabbed a pen & pad...my next CV (resume) is going to be a total different beast from my weak, shallow current resume. Thanks, David.
Talk about secret mentor....without even knowing it, you've been my mentor since I found you on pluralsight. I can't wait for what's coming next. Apex Academy wise and all.
Salesforce Stars aligned and got me here. I was looking for some guidance on my resume since last week. Prayers answered. Thanks mate. PS: Great Disclaimer.
I paid almost 2k to a salesforce developer& admin course honestly the mentorship they provide is not even half of what you give to people here..I had my admins certification few days ago, I had to almost bag mentors to help me with linkedn profile and resume they kept saying it will be at the end of the course so I ended up wondering around in youtube for hours. Not even sure if I had a good profile or not but at least I am trying on it. Hopefully this resume tips would work on me to get some freelance projects at least.
Thanks a lot for sharing. It’s big help specially coming from an achiever like you. Everyone in Salesforce domain follow you and to get so amazing guidance from your side is commendable.
Thanks David! I'm trying to get my first full-time role as an SF admin/BA after being a pt consultant. I have a hard time embellishing and this video really helped me to see how I can make my resume stronger.
Man. its amazing how most of the stuff you learn in high school becomes moot. For example, I took an elective in high school called 'Job Search' for half a semester, and one thing they taught us was the proper order of sections to list in your resume. 1. Education 2. Experience 3. Awards and Achievements 4. References I lost points on my sample resume because I did not put these in the correct order; for an end of the semester assignment. Notice how "Licenses and Certifications" was not mentioned to me at all in high school. To offer better context here, I graduated high school in 2008, so i would've taken this course in 2007/2008. Just goes to show you, you constantly have to "re-learn" what you thought you already knew...good video. I'll be basing my resume off of yours. The biggest takeaway for me, was the order of your sections. Thanks.
good tips. but my profession industry has no contests or "winners" whatsoever. they don't care if we compete with each other. they just want cogs in the machine.
Great stuff, as always. Thanks a million, David. You do realize that there are people all around the world who are thankful to what you do , don't you? :-) Greetings from Switzerland and Andalusia.
Hi, Earlier in the video and many other videos,you said you work for Google but in your resume there's no mention of it.Why did you omit when it can be a job magnet imo.
what do you recommend for those who are new to the industry and looking to break in to Salesforce? I recently passed my admin exam and have been working on a developer org creating a mock business from scratch, but have no real work experience with SF.
Question: Is it worth mentioning about your trailhead special badges and your contributions towards salesforce developer communities? If yes, would that be right after the certification section or at last?
I just got my first Cert after being an SFDC Power User for nearly 2 years. Was struggling to figure out how to update my resume to showcase my Salesforce knowledge, but this video really helped! Now I feel confident moving forward with applying to new positions. Cheers! Ps. Love the Gyarados and Magikarp canvas behind!
Subbed for your honesty and humor! Do you have or have you saved all those "winner" stuff if the potential employer wants to see them? I have had a few of those in the past, but did not save them and I am afraid to put them in my resume.
@@dvdkliu Thank you! One more question. I do not have any certifications. In that case, should I put my education in that area of the resume? I have a master degree from a decent university.
You are awesome. I recently got into this and started reading your blog and following you on twitter as well. truly inspired by your achievement and being humble at the same time.
Ooh again great video. Will definitely steal this lol. Any chance of a vid like this but for LinkedIn profiles / how to leverage LinkedIn in for Salesforce opportunities?
@@dvdkliu Awesome ill be looking forward to it!!! Im on it! Still studying for my first 2 certs though but I can implement the other stuff you mentioned!! Thanks!!!
Any advice for someone trying to make the move over to Salesforce Development? I'm currently in sales and love SF but want to transition over to the development side of SF.
Super helpful advice from your personal experience, David. Numbers, keywords, and placement are everything when you only have about 6 seconds to impress. I think it's important for many of those watching this video to understand that a resume gets you the call, the email, the invitation to interview. Still, it's you, your ability to interview, knowledge, and references that confirm the offer of employment. Viewers should be extremely careful about embellishments on resumes. Countless candidates have been turned away and blacklisted for resume falsehoods, and that's just in my practice and divisions I've operated. Keep the great content coming!

I'm laughing so hard as you go along with this, amazing tips and very smart
Thank you Tim!
I can’t stop laughing lol he’s good!

Thanks!!! Any tips for the sharing and visibility exam? I’m finding this one to be quite a pain to study for.
Bro.. 7..?
Being in the IT industry for 10 years taught me that "The ones who really solve things are afraid to promote themselves, while the ones who are not for real, promote themselves like hell... " If it's based on numbers and results, there is no problem with it.. just be careful to not look like a DB!
I agree with this.
Oooo
I think that sounds a lot like the "Fake it 'till you make it" philosophy.
Lol… Heard
9:51 😂
I will steal your Rusme but how to steal your skill..hahhahaha
Thank you David, you are always a great source of inspiration for everyone and me. Whenever I meet you in person, I always feel that same motivation.

Gotta pretend you're a Gyarados when you're really a Magikarp, very appropriate picture for the vid lol GJ
I just want to say that I think your content is awesome and I love your dry sense of humour. Note, I am not a techie!

good tips. but my profession industry has no contests or "winners" whatsoever. they don't care if we compete with each other. they just want cogs in the machine.
Does employee of the quarter count under Awards section? 🤣
Yes for sure!!!!
@@dvdkliu Thanks. Many of us new admins won’t have the awards or certifications yet, so we have to use what we can if applicable.
Yup gotta use everything you can! Even things like sports awards etc are helpful. You at least show you have a winning mentality.
Great stuff, as always. Thanks a million, David. You do realize that there are people all around the world who are thankful to what you do , don't you? :-) Greetings from Switzerland and Andalusia.
Embellish, Embellish, Embellish. Got it!
Wish I had found you sooner😂 Love your videos
Always churning great content! Thanks man!
First view
Hi,
Earlier in the video and many other videos,you said you work for Google but in your resume there's no mention of it.Why did you omit when it can be a job magnet imo.
This is an older resume of mine pre-Google. I don't really want to share my Google related resume in case HR gets mad
what do you recommend for those who are new to the industry and looking to break in to Salesforce? I recently passed my admin exam and have been working on a developer org creating a mock business from scratch, but have no real work experience with SF.
I've got a couple videos on this topic scroll through my channel and you'll find some good content there ✌️✌️✌️
Oh well, what do you do if you don't have Awards and a bunch of certificates?
You can definitely earn many yourself quickly! Have to find these opportunities
The best part was when he said education wasn't his strongest lol he has a 3.9 gpa , overall 3.7 gpa honors bachelors program lol
😁😁😁
@@dvdkliu Much love man !!
3:46 "By the way check out those guns on me" 😄
I have the Same Shirt :D
Btw following you since 2015 on linkedin and now just started here :)
Thanks David. I only emphasized the importance of numbers and didn't think of keywords and order. I need to update my resume right now.
I cannot bypass your Star Wars shirt. I don't need a resume right now but I always look up for your recommendations. #StarWars4EVER
Question: Is it worth mentioning about your trailhead special badges and your contributions towards salesforce developer communities? If yes, would that be right after the certification section or at last?

You are very honest! don't you think your next employer will watch this video :)
Love it, definitely going to switch my format to this!!!
Great stuff David, A big fan of you. Awesome tips. I will update my resume:)
Yoooo I love you! You’re the boss
Thank you Sasha!!!
Subbed for your honesty and humor! Do you have or have you saved all those "winner" stuff if the potential employer wants to see them? I have had a few of those in the past, but did not save them and I am afraid to put them in my resume.
Nope, they never ask. Just make sure to save them from now on
@@dvdkliu Thank you! One more question. I do not have any certifications. In that case, should I put my education in that area of the resume? I have a master degree from a decent university.
Yes, whatever you feel is your strongest areas, put em up top
