Hello, Prof. Austin! I just recently turned 18 and I'm redoing my resume, but there isn't a specific job I'm looking for in the company that I am aiming to enter. What should I put at the top of the summary for the position part? Or should I leave it blank?
I'm too tired to write one. I'm 15 and I want to apply for this Customer Support Representative work at home job! I am in Australia. Please help!!! :) Can I email you? It is a job at TTEC. I believe they offer customer support people to companies.
I NEEDED this video. I reworked my resume because it was just a big wall of text and it was very boring. I reworked it using Word's template and the advice given in this video. I went from barely getting any responses from employers to getting an immediate response, getting an interview the next morning, and now getting the position I applied for. THANK YOU!

Thank you for this. It's been a long time since I've had to apply for a job. I landed my current position by networking, and the job before that I had for 10 years. I knew nothing about applicant tracking software or how it works! So glad I do now!
Hey Heather, You are sooooo AMAZING! I fall in love with your teachings. I have learned a lot from your video lessons. Keep up the good work and GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
Professor Austin is the BOMB!!! I followed her tips and downloaded her free template/example and created an A Plus upgraded Resume. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
I literally can not make this up. A few days ago I watched this video and Andrew LaCivita's video on resume tips. I decided to finally apply what I learned and submitted an application today at 12:06 pm and received a phone call for an interview at 12:17 pm. My husband and I are so shocked! Neither of us has EVER received a call back that fast. Thank you sooo much professor Heather!
Thank you for your video. Its one of the best i have watched. However I was looking forward for the free templates and got disappointed when I have to pay for something in order to get the template.
Hi Heather. I never cared about my resume until I lost my job due to Covid19. I've been sending my resume for months now, but no response. I'm glad I fell on this video, I think it's really going to help me rewrite my resume. Thanks again
Thanks for this video!! I see people are talking about your mistake like a humongous problem while not paying attention to the important tips you gave. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Action verbs for the win! I work in consulting and in this type of job you have an internal resume and to this day, action verbs are BY FAR the most important part of a resume. Great vid!
Hi Professor Heather, I have a question. I teach preschool now, but I also have experience as a medical assistant and administrative assistant. Do I make one resume for all three or do I make three different resumes?
Excellent Guide. I have been looking for such a comprehensive guide for the past five years. Blessed that I found your video. Thanks for explaining so well.
Thank you Professor Heather Austin. I am currently living in Atlanta and there is a lot of competition. Your break down, section by section really makes it easy to understand. You are awesome!
I will have to rewatch this video and your other suggested videos cause after sending my resume for professional review you have hit all the point I need to address. I would hope I can apply these to my resume. Thanks for your advice.
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin I hope so cause It has been so frustrating looking for working and not getting interviews. I just hope to do this on my own than pay someone hundreds of dollars to do what you suggest.
Such a great video and advice! People making fun of the first line don’t realize how tough it is to get your point across with the pressure of doing it on video! Great job definitely going to edit mine today:)
th-cam.com/video/A9jD4Sn8ess/w-d-xo.html Action verbs provide instant information and are often the first words that hiring managers see after your name.
Thank you for this. I'm in the unfortunate situation of having to look for a job for the first time in almost 20 years. Hopefully I can make my resume noticeable.
I’ve been at my place of employment for 18 years and unfortunately I’m still working the same position when I first started. I am unsure on how to write a resume considering there isn’t much to it and I’ve had the same job title.
I've been searching youtube for weeks for a good resume video and yours has such great detail. I am a recent college graduate (December 2019) with a degree in journalism and film and I have been struggling to format a good resume. I imagine my submissions get kicked out at the ATS portion. I am going to take these tips and reformat my resume. Thanks for making these videos!!
It is interesting that the ATS searches for information within the job listing itself; do you suggest that we use as many as we can, or should we just pick the words that we have experience with?
Hi Heather Austin , hope you are doing well. Can you do some videos on High school students on how to write essay or prepare College application , chose career, choose college or at least guidance on preparing high school students for college applications. Scholarships ect. These info will be very useful for parents like me. Thanks
Thank you so much for this! Do you have any tips for the dreaded coveer letter? It makes the job application so much time consuming when tailoring. Any tips to making a template?
So what I'm looking for in these resume videos that I'm not hearing is how to word the resume better. for the jobs. I find that my portfolio is strong and my resume is weak because of verbiage. I have trouble articling what I've done for the job.
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin i think everything. My resume had some of the info, but with this tips now i can upgrade my resume, make it more appealing for the HR people and i am sure i will have more interviews. Thanks Heather
Great video, thanks for the tips. Do you have any specifics advice for military transitioning into the civilian workforce? Also, what program do you use to create your TH-cam videos? I’m interested in creating my own TH-cam content but don’t know where to start.
If your transitioning into the civilian workforce, you need a "civilian" resume. Make sure you download the free template. In terms of TH-cam, I shoot my videos on a Cannon Camera and edit in Premier Pro. What do you want to make your channel about?
Thank you so much for this! You hints were so clear and useful! However, I just can't seem to download your free resume template. I wonder if it's because I'm outside the USA.
Incredible video! Succinct and chock full of advice. I'd like to share this on my LinkedIn profile for my Women in Business club, with your permission.
Hello a question, I have a website and I'm getting traffic which is good, as im looking for a marketing job on Search Engine Optimization, and as I've worked a lot on getting traffic and tracking my user metrics. can I add that to my resume as an achievement?
Question: I have been out of the office environment for at least 10 years. I have worked Customer Service jobs, but now want to go back into Administrative work. How do I put Admin. work on my resume since I have had other jobs since then. Do I just list my office skills on my resume?
Hi Heather, thank you for the fantastic video. It cleared out many issues in resume. I wanted to know about the table contents... I have formatted my resume in table but table lines are hidden, is that still ok ?
Can you do an example for research jobs? Most examples are either in software or for sales. This makes it almost impossible for a mid-career professional like me, who followed a non-linear path find tips. Thank you for your very informative videos!
What if you don't have a specific job title you're looking for to even put in the job title or identifier section? I honestly don't have just one role I'm looking for and will be mass applying for several different industries, in a sense.
Thank you Professor for a great video, i both liked and subscribed. So you are saying that the resume should be fluid and i can change it based on getting the specific position that i want? I was always thought that your resume would always stay the same and not change , thank you very much for a great video once again.
What if you're switching careers from admin to software engineering and don't have experience in the latter as yet? What position do you place at the top ? This is for sending in resumes that aren't pertaining to any advertised openings so they can place it on file.
what if you are a college graduate and have no experience, so you don't have actual statistics to show, what would be a good way to supplement the lack of nukbers. ?
I transferred into an Ivy league college from a mid-level college. Is it wise to put my previous college on my resume? Would it ruin the impression I'll make on employers ? Thank you!!
Ok so I'm a recent graduate with a bachelors of business administration. I don't have any experience to be listing down core competencies to stand out. I'm currently a server at a restaurant and I feel that the skills attained there aren't sufficient enough to land a professional job.
Hi Heather, Im looking to update my resume for 2020! Looking for a better career path, I took mine through a resume checker and it came back 49 to 100! Hopefully some critiquing and better resume tips will help it! Thanks for the help and I formation on resumes!
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin yeah i have downloaded that ....but the resume which u shown in video, it has a little bit different format ...if u could send that to me then i would be very grateful. ahsanali546@gmail.com
Great advice, Heather! I noticed that the downloadable resume template you offer does not include the Summary Section as outlined in this video. Nor does it include the Job Description paragraphs. It would be helpful if these were included.
Hey Scott, glad you liked the video! Someone of the examples I included in the video were from my Career Advancement Toolkit. You can grab it right here: www.professoraustin.com/careertoolkit-youtube-offer/.
Hi Professor Austin I transferred to a better university, then should I mention my former university in the resume as well? And what if there are several key experiences taking place when I'm in my former university?
Hi heather thanks for everything you do quick questions the sample resume you showed in this video is the one we can download? Another question i have experienced in information technology from the past not a lot to be honest, ,but i have been working in healthcare for 2 years, i want to go back to IT. I have been getting hands on experience at home but not in a work environment how do i write my summary thanks English is not my first language sorry for my bad written English.
Hi there Katy! Great question. The sample resume is very similar to the one in the video. Not the exact same though. It's even better. You're english is great! Well done.

Good resumes don't necessarily land you a job, rather more of a possiblity of getting job interviews...
Hundreds, or even DOZENS of positions...
Haha! Yep, I said that. Hope you're well.
That statement has me wondering if i should take her advice lmao

does simply having a resume more than 1 page affect the ATS at all as long as the formatting and everything else is fine?

Hello,
it was a great video. thank you.
to pass the ATS what format should the resume be .docx or .pdf?
Definitely word doc for ATS. Good luck!
I will listen now on my morning commute but when I get off work, I am taking notes.
What resume format do you suggest submitting to get past ATS's (Word or PDF)? I've always submitted PDF versions.
Great question Justin. Word docs do better with ATS.
