A resume should always be short and concise and easy to get a quick overview, walking your interviewer though it is your chance to provide more details and more of a story than what could fit on that piece of paper. It's supposed to be the cliff notes to the narrative of your work experience that you provide in person.
@@Kas_Styles No a cover letter is to express your interest in the role, not give your whole entire work history. You may illuminate some key skills you developed in certain roles that may best assist you with the role you're applying for, but a cover letter should also be short and easy to read. Make it too long and it might not get read at all if there are a lot of applicants.
@@akemiasahina4555Yes but, other countries outside the US who use a two page CV format have far less confusion for applicants and employers alike because you can actually provide enough information to understand and then just ask for "what did you learn from X project" or "what was the biggest challenge with X" type questions that are more engaging. US one-pagers help neither applicants or employers and is something we should be fighting to phase out.
Crazy but sad thing is that an interviewer asked me the same thing. And I started discussing about the résumé in my history of it. But every 10 seconds, she would interrupt me and say “I’m gonna stop you there,” and put her hand to my face. my interview lasted about eight minutes and that was the worst interview I’ve ever had in my life and I’m glad I do not work for that company.
Ahahaha why did they even invite you? A waste of time for everyone. People seriously don't invest time into the hiring process and are then complaining they don't get whatever weirdly specific thing they want
I am the candidate who's answer to the interviewer would be the last one, patiently and passionately walking them through my resume, but in my head the answer I really want to give is the first one, including de "can you read or...?" bit. In fact, I think of companies as candidates to have me work for them, not the other way around, so anyone asking me to walk them through my resume comes to me as they're zero interested in me and wasting my time, the only worst would be any questions illegal to ask in muy country such as "do you have kids?". Value yourselves, the interview is not only for them to know if you fit their company, it is also for you to know if they fit your career plan and work life.
“So I had that job, then I had the next job, then the next one for 11 years and got fired, no education. Yeah I’m actually kinda pathetic and just need a job” 😂😂😂
A lot of people do interviews, very rarely I see someone who knows how to conduct one. They are reading out of a script which means they don't know what to ask or what to do with the answer. Second, most of them dont really read your resume, period. They use this question in order for you to bring them up to speed. Sometimes the interviewer is actually very adversarial, he wasn't you to fail a little bit, find something wrong, etc.
My response is a variation on your first 'wrong'. "Yes, I expect you to need more detail. What in particular would you like to know about?" I'm at a stage where I can expect a recruiter to have read my CV and done some investigating before taking up their time and mine with an interview.
I think it depends on why you didn't finish? Like if you were struggling with classes you could say something like, "The heavily structured environment and focus on rote memorization wasn't conducive to me as a learner, but I thrive in self-directed study, such as when I learned x to y level in just z amount of time. In fact, this ability is part of why I believe I'm a great fit for the role, and since this company advertised a more fluid working environment, that's a big reason why I'm so excited for this potential opportunity." Or if you had external factors, such as health problems, an unstable living situation, or needing to take care of other family members, it might be more like, "There were some personal factors that prevented me from continuing with my education, and I had to shift my priorities; that's all well behind me now, but [here's some stuff I did during that period that shows responsibility, character, or special skills]. By the time I would've been able to go back to school, I was already [doing x, y and z] and after some deliberation, I decided it made more sense to continue in that direction instead of stopping my forward momentum. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get that diploma someday, but I believe I have enough skills and experience to not need it in my chosen career." If you just didn't want to go to school, you can still combine those answers into something that is relatively vague (i.e. "personal problems") but highlights that you have presumably matured and grown, and focuses on the experience you do have and what you intend to be like in the near-ish future. (You can even lean into it as a lifestyle choice, if you think a company might be receptive to it, like: "I know it's a little unusual, but actually, I disagree with schools as a concept, at least as they exist now. In my experience, they encourage conformity, instill unquestioning obedience to authority, and reject any opinions that haven't been approved by that authority. Those are not at all my values, and I had a hard time seeing any benefit to spending my time there, so when I got the opportunity to do x, I left. [Here's why I'm still an intelligent adult with an acceptable level of basic knoweldge], but most of those skills were acquired out in the real world when I did x, y, and z, so I don't really feel like I'm lacking anything. I think there are a lot of flaws in our education system, and I hope they start focusing on a, b, and c soon, but in the meantime I don't plan on going back, and I'm very happy with that decision.") Hope some of this was helpful/not too delayed! (And even if not, at least it was a fun little writing exercise. :D)
Can' t you just tell them ? Raising a child is hard job and quite intense and demanding the first years. It is only reasonable that if you can afford it , you would want to stop working or work less hours for some years. An employer who don' t get that might not be a good boss to have.
Any interview tips for someone who has a ton of anxiety around interviews. I have autism and I hate being put on the spot, I struggle a lot but know I need to conquer it to get a job.
The only way it seems is that you just need to go through the process and in the interview focus more on articulating your response. Don't speak so fast and also attempt to say what you are going to say with a smile and upbeat. Don't look so dead inside. Focus more on your response and attempt to control your emotion while answering and after.
Part of Anxiety is not knowing if what we are saying is good and great for the situation . With Extroverts a number of them say what they wanna say and don't care how the person may truly feel about. There confidence is through saying what they wanna and don't care how people may take it( positive or negative)
This question in an interview is crucial, especially for a job related to customer service. It also shows how you can help customers and how your easy and clear with your relevant communication
I don’t think you have to due to HIPAA however I was wondering how do would you disclose to an potential employer before hiring that you have health conditions that may effect your attendance? I’ve always gotten ADA paper work but feel guilty knowing that I might not be able to work all the time due to physical limitations. Your content has made me feel confident in finding a new job with minimal experience, but I still feel set back by my limitations. Thanks Erin!
I mean, tbh, you seem like you know your limits and what work environment would suit you best. If you're employer decides to discriminate based on your condition, that is a big fat settlement with your name on it. Go out there and get it.
I seriously can't thank you enough. I've worked in retail (1st job) for two years and trying to step into my desired pathway. Your videos are so useful to me and definitely improve my lack of knowledge.
I always wished I had this interaction at an interview. It took me 6 months to get my first job out of college because I worked manufacturing to afford living expenses while I went to school. It paid more, but made me very undesirable.
I’ve conducted hundreds of interviews, and I always ask this question after introducing myself and the role in more details. The purpose is two fold. First, getting a sense of the communication skills. It’s critical to me that candidates can walk me through something they know. Second, it gives them an opportunity to highlight parts that are critical to the role. Resumes are rarely tailored to the company and role, so candidates can now filter out what’s not important.
🤞🤞wish me luck, ive got an interview tomorrow... I reeeaaalllyyy want it since its web dev stuff with a heavy focus on accessibility for disabled users
Would you ever do a few employment tip videos for people who have a large gap in employment due to mental health crisis or were education drop outs? I know this is a challenge lol
I had a one year break from work due to mental health/loss of grandpa the best thing you can do is basically tell the truth about what happened and if they dont accept that just realise that they probally arnt a good person to work for, a good boss will understand, if the job has no unionization or any benefits such as healthcare i would even bother trying for it if they rejected my answer to that question
@@jaggeddustjacket9584 lol I read “illiterate,” ironically enough and was like wtf. Being literate doesn’t mean someone is well spoken tho it just means they can read + write. Literacy has nothing to do with speaking.
@@Perpetuallytrying i know lol! i was just assuming the original meant she was well spoken since the woman wasnt reading or writing anything and a lot of people use literate and well spoken interchangeably
Can you do a video on what to put on a resume when it's your first job interview? I've been wanting to get a job soon and I really don't know how to handle a job interview with very little experience. I've worked for a couple of older women helping them with house cleaning and I volunteer my time quite a bit, so I guess that could be considered a little bit of experience. I'm still in my mid teens and this is completely new for me. Your videos have been very helpful for future reference though. I really love your channel!
Hello, In your situation make sure to write down skills you have such as computer skills, hospitality (aka helping people) make sure you mention to the interviewer that it is your first job/ interview.
Actually I kinda scored a decent job when I asked the interviewer if they’d bothered to read my resume. He was trying to put me into a cheap unskilled job. 🤷🏻♀️
So essentially you're just humanizing the information. It's different hearing it from the mouth of the person than just reading it on a piece of paper. Plus it also reaffirms for them that you truly did all of those things on the paper.
I agree, this is a great summary to get the conversation started. But expect the questions to get more into the details as you move forward. As a recruiter, I'm always amazed when someone asks me, "Do you have my resume there?" in a tone that implies I'm somehow not doing my job correctly. Yes, I have your resume, and I have read it. I have made notes. That's why I called you. This is your opportunity to tell me what isn't on the paper.
Upon being asked this I lay the paper copy of my resume on the floor, take the interviewer by the arm and carefully walk them through it. … this joke sounded better in my head, sorry.. ^^’ But thanks anyways for the advice
Hi Erin, at what point in a resume is college not pertinent? I graduated college in 2004; worked our family business (a restaurant) for 14 years (gained A LOT OF MARKETABLE experience) and have been at my current job as an office manger for a water, sewer, and mold restoration company for 7 years. Should I still mention college, or keep it to experience? Love your channel!!
So not only did you wasted resources and time making her write a resume. You also wasted resources and time making her talk about her resume again and in the end all of that didn't matter because of her attitude. I rather keep searching...
im in my early 20s and barely has any resume and work bg - just mcdonalds and math tutor. i havnt finished college, so im not sure how to answer this question if asked
Lean on extracurriculars and your performance in college, I’d say! Also on how you balance your time. Or just sort of ignore the Q and dive right into one specific thing
Can you do how to explain a gap where you were looking for a job for over 6 months with no luck (i have one now i just want to know for future referenceĺ
Since Erin mentioned that, I wanted to know why you should add your LinkedIn to your resume if they contain the same things. Is it just to show who you have networking with?
Based on what I have learned so far, recruiters like checking candidates' LinkedIn profiles as a "verification" method of your experience. If an individual list all their experiences on LinkedIn and made posts based on what they have done over the years, the recruiter will see that the candidate is likely not lying about their experience.
Want to be poor, get a job! Want to be middle class, get skills, then get a job! I’m a trucker. I apply to a position, they run my Motor Vehicle Report then call to ask, “When can you start.”
How do u say it in good words I am kind of a english is a second language thing as yes born here and lived here alittle bit but went to my parents home country and lived there for several years ehich actually made my english bad and then came back in highschool and became hard for to speak yes I can speak it pretty well but whenever I become nervous my english becomes as if I just came to america so how do u talk with big words even with nervousness and then have a bad accent due to tht nervousness
What a stupid question... I would answers "here is my name, here is my email". Stupid question, stupid answer... I work in IT, as programmer, have been on both sides (looking for job AND as technical on intervier) and as much as I love for Erin give us good examples, some of these questions from interviewers are just stupid.
Although we are impressed with your performance, we’ve decided to continue with another candidate. But don’t worry. You keep watching those TH-cam videos instead of honing your skills. You got this.
“What we want to say”
Vs
“What we should say” 😂😂😂
Laziest interview question of all time. A perfect indicator that they didn’t even bother to familiarize even a little bit.
Agreed.
“Sorry, but you’re overqualified.”
I basically was told that once lol
I've been told that at every interview I've had. I just assure the interviewer that I am open to learning how THEY want the job to be done. I'm open to feedback and can instant apply said feedback.

Girl THANK YOU!!!! I watched most of your videos on job interviews, and after 2 rounds of job interview I GOT THE JOB!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺😊😊😊
Yeah, but it is way funnier to say "just read it." Cause you've already written it down like 5 times.
If only my resume flowed like that...
how to be passive aggressive:
"well, as per my resume i sent to you, I am ...."
"I am highly allergic to stupid" 😂
I’ll take a “walking me through your resume,” ANY day, before the, ever-so-stupid, “What is your biggest weakness.”
That'll still be in the interview. This is just the start. I had one like this before.
“Can you walk me through your resume”
“I’m in grade 10 what is there to walk through?”

This should appear confident; but surely there's a chance it could backfire.
“Can you walk me through your resume?”
“NO!”
- total power move 😂
Agreed. Tbh, for me as the candidate it shows me you never saw my resume or were ill prepared.
so many employers dont actually look through your resume so you are interviewing yourself
"Hey can you walk me through how you got this interview? I didnt bother to look at your credentials. "
We're not even worth like 30 seconds of reading through our resume anymore lmfao 💀

im in my early 20s and barely has any resume and work bg - just mcdonalds and math tutor. i havnt finished college, so im not sure how to answer this question if asked
Lean on extracurriculars and your performance in college, I’d say! Also on how you balance your time. Or just sort of ignore the Q and dive right into one specific thing
Math tutoring is impressive. If the job matches anything you studied you can just go into that topic even if you never finished college.
Good one you actually were impressive
Who put themselves through school off a waitress job? I could barely afford school even with loans and working.
Can you do how to explain a gap where you were looking for a job for over 6 months with no luck (i have one now i just want to know for future referenceĺ
No interviewer has ever asked me this. (I live in Sweden)
What if they say "why are you no longer at x position"?
Since Erin mentioned that, I wanted to know why you should add your LinkedIn to your resume if they contain the same things. Is it just to show who you have networking with?
Based on what I have learned so far, recruiters like checking candidates' LinkedIn profiles as a "verification" method of your experience. If an individual list all their experiences on LinkedIn and made posts based on what they have done over the years, the recruiter will see that the candidate is likely not lying about their experience.
How filter email for job interview to only see human results

Want to be poor, get a job!

I’m a trucker. I apply to a position, they run my Motor Vehicle Report then call to ask, “When can you start.”
How did she put herself through school AND do internships?
Do you not know that money schedule isn’t possible or is this humor for us?

How do you explain in a job interview that you cannot read? 😅
What if we don’t have any higher education yet 😢
Appears shallow.
What a stupid question... I would answers "here is my name, here is my email". Stupid question, stupid answer... I work in IT, as programmer, have been on both sides (looking for job AND as technical on intervier) and as much as I love for Erin give us good examples, some of these questions from interviewers are just stupid.
Ohh así que hablas español...? De dónde eres?
I bet people would pay you loads of cash to review and help improve their resumes.
Ever thought about that additional business niche?
Although we are impressed with your performance, we’ve decided to continue with another candidate.
But don’t worry. You keep watching those TH-cam videos instead of honing your skills. You got this.
Are you fluent in Spanish or was that just an example
