      @@gagandeepkaur176 Can't go wrong with Big 4! Well similar to what Amanda did, you want to let the Big 4 you end up choosing know WHY you chose them over the others. It could be a program unique to them, or one of development offerings. Networking is going to be key here :)

      I have some questions:
      1. I’ve been rejected from about 50 interviews. (In the last one they found the excuse that I could have given more examples. There must have been 20 to 30 perfectly given interviews with no feedback at all. The feedback I got from a lot of them is that they went for another candidate).
      2. Before the pandemic it only took around 4 interviews to secure a new role
      3. I went to a top business school and have half a decade of experience working for blue chip companies
      4. *I’ve been given the advice by some corporate operatives that I could still somehow secure a role at a top company even if I’ve been unemployed for half a dozen years*
      *Is it discrimination? Is it bias because there is money involved? I would just like to know what is going on as I’m being forced to retire early abroad/take a career break in the summer*..

    If you're in a field or in a position where you don't have access to business metrics, you're just at a point where you're encouraged to make up numbers in order to even get your resume seen. The job market is literally in a race to the bottom. Love that for us.

    Very to the point. For fresh graduates, would just add that if you don't have work experience, focus on your skillset, degree, language skills, relevant coursework and anything else you developed while at university. Basically, focus on all the things that you already have. Good employers just want to see that you have the attitude and foundational skillset to develop your skills further at their company, not work experience. Thanks for the video!

    @JeffSu: The most people say that resumes should not be longer than one page. Is it even possible to reach 500-600 words in one page without reducing the quality of your resume by making the writing too small or omitting the structure? I estimate that even your own resume in 0:35 has a maximum of around 400 words.

They are well-organized, clearly stated, and presented with details. With your tips and the referral of a google employee, my resume was successfully spotted by the recruiter just one-day after I applied. I just want to comment and say how grateful I am. I'll continue to watch other videos of yours to learn how to pass the interview. Hopefully, I can be a Googler like you.

    Thanks for the tips, Jeff. If it's no trouble, was wondering if I could ask a few questions. I was a nurse that switched and finished a Computer Systems Technician course just a week ago.
    1. Since my work experience is not related to the current jobs I'm applying for, should I do the headings as: skills, education, then job experience?
    2. I hear all the time that I have to quantify results on the job experience portion, but I have a hard time relating that to nursing. How would you quantify helping a patient when it is a team effort?
    3. I saw a resume guide that added a small blurb at the very top of how a person may be a great fit for the role, but would that not be redundant information from your cover letter?
    Not sure how people do it, but applying to jobs feels like a very subjective process. I'll read that you can add colours on one guide to stand out, just to read another guide that condemns it for being distracting. Thanks for your time.

    • @phoenixamaranth
      @phoenixamaranth 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have worked in IT for nearly 20 years and have been a manager at various levels for the last 10. If you're transitioning to IT, definitely put your skills near the top to showcase them. If you have any certifications or specific IT training you've received, list them at the bottom, but mention them in a summary at the top of your resume that gives a brief highlight of who you are and your abilities. A summary and skills section will be the first things an employer sees and your best chance to catch their attention. Beginner level IT positions are very customer service heavy jobs and so is nursing. Highlight those transferable soft skills you've had to use and working in a team is also valued as IT is rarely a solo endeavor. As for colors, 40% of people's favorite color is blue. A few splashes of blue for titles or section headers can give your resume a pleasing structure/appearance that's easier to read as well but other colors tend to be distracting. Hope that helps!

    • @JoseRap
      @JoseRap ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually is a subjective experience. and if you forget the formalities you realise all we are trying to do is communicate our work history, and suitability for the job to another human being.
      granted they use Resume scanners for keywords and such, but you can take those into account for example have a 'skills and competencies' section and this would be a good place to keyword dump.
      the colour thing is true, it is very subjective. All you need to do is ask yourself, If i had a big day at work and was reading through 40 shortlisted resumes on a Thursday afternoon, would my resume be easy to read? you got to make it easy to read!

    Great tips Jeff. Just to add to your point of measurable metrics - there is a rule followed in the hiring world called the STAR approach (i.e. how you should structure your bullet points) ...

    As someone who failed to receive interview calls from Meta, Microsoft, and Google, for internship positions this helps me a lot. My resume was too long.
    I am lucky to be interning with Amazon but as we know getting an interview call from Amazon is relatively easier hence it was only about interview performance.
    Thank you for your tips.

    Great video, to the point just the way we all like it. One call out I would like to make is in Udemy report (ebook) Page 15 Top 10 fastest-growing soft skills, some of these skills are a replica of resume cliche or buzzwords. For example innovation, creativity, etc hence the soft skills may be a tough one to balance. I suggest using the job description as a guide and mirroring that as opposed to a generic description.

    I agree with previous comments on how well done this video is! You have my gratitude as well! :)
    Just curious to hear other opinions about CV length though.
    I personally find 475-600 word resumes to be excessive, and very much prefer single page resumes.

    • @JeffSu
      @JeffSu  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks so much for the kind words! So I think depending on the formatting and spacing, 500 words should fit on a single page!

    • @dl5329
      @dl5329 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It would fit, but I'm thinking it will be too much.
      I'm at 347 for mine and I feel that if I add an extra word, it will look cluttered. I used a visually appealing (but not pompous) template, and was mindful of white space, etc.
      Mystery :))
      [Edit: The maximum number of words I could reach in the end is 414 🙃]

    Good guide, though I want to point out that any percentages you put on a resume are irrelevant because they are not verifiable. Just like you said, the hiring staff will look through a lot of resumes, and will see a lot of these numbers, they won't mean much once you see a lot. They won't even be about the same thing. Someone will mention sales, another productivity, another number of features, and so they might all be very meaningful, but not comparable. I would rather prefer to see you describe the specific duty you had and any achievements you were known for.

    • @JeffSu

      Great input Fabio! I think the point is to show the recruiter/hiring manager you are thinking quantitively and you're thinking about the impact you made for the project as opposed to the specific numbers. I have yet be in an interview where someone was challenged because of their numbers in their resume 😁
