its hearbreaking to know that out there, there is some overqualified person rejected from his dream job just because his resumé wasn’t matching the readers style.
the problem is they are following directions. a lot of places tell you to not use periods and to put your picture on it.cause some places don't like periods and want pictures. it's not a matter of having a good resume.it's a matter of having a resume that looks good to the person viewing it which is very subjective and hoping your resume appeals to individual reviewer.
star and fox wait, who is telling people not to use periods? That is the basic rules of English and professionalism. I won’t even send a text without a period if I’m talking business.
"I wish they used periods. I wish these were sentences." When you use bullet points, you don't use punctuation. Most of the time, those are fragments and not complete sentences. Using punctuation would make you look dumb. The important part is keeping the style consistent, and even then, bullets don't use punctuation.
If you were to apply for a position as an English Teacher at a high school, I would expect appropriate scrutiny of punctuation et alia, but for any other job, there's spell check and peer review. What a twit this person is! I agree that they clearly don't understand punctuation anyway.
Exactly! This "expert" is just sharing their extreme opinions. You don't put full stops in a bulleted list. If I followed this advice and applied for a copywriter role, I would be passed up.

Every company should provide their own template using which candidate can build their resume so that they won't get rejected in screening. Because, if mine is not good, then I'll use yours.
Good idea, Because each HR have their own preference on how they wanted to read the resume. HR 1 like to know what job the applicants have before, instead of degree. HR 2 is more interested in your degree. If my resume is rejected because the HR preference is previous job and i emphasize more onto my degree i would be quite angry.

@@pearlsswine They actually do that. Video from a HR coodernator went viral in Brazil, he mocked people's resumes and said some of them had more than three pages and no one was going to read through it. Also said he knew a girl from one of the resumes and "even though you're qualified, you're not in, sweetie, because i don't like you." He lost his job and then later made a video crying putting the blame to his childish behavior on depression. HR is filled with shitbags.
Schools/universities: put education first and make yourself seem like a good, rounded individual Industry: we don't care about you or you past we just want you to be able to do this one super specific thing
Basically employers just want common sense and basic logic. Everything else can be learned. Schools don't tell you this because how else are they going to scam all of you for thousands of dollars. Especially if you're stupid enough to go for liberal arts.
Education only goes first when you are in school or just coming out of school. After enough years in the field though, it should go towards the bottom like she said.
Depends on the school and how much experience you have. Some law firms only recruit from certain schools so putting your education first would matter. On the other hand,iIf you're a doctor with 20 years of experience, I'm sure your college is the least important part of your resume. It's not that hard to use discernment on these things.
someone commented that the expert abruptly left because of personal reasons. don’t know why they couldn’t explain it in the video but there’s your reason.
I could have sworn I heard from a different "expert" that you SHOULD include your hobbies on your resume, as it shows you're a well rounded individual with motivation, goals, etc.

@@counsellor_718 interviews are different than resumes, In interviews it is common , but resume is like an advertisement, Anything irrelevant will most likely not be good, If you want you can add one line about some hobby, but it should be at very bottom and it won't change anything in resume shortlisting.
That's not actually as bad as it sounds. Hiring someone is a huge risk because of access to secure information, money, etc. Additionally, an incompetent employee can waste lots of money. Companies have a tendency to hire someone an employee already knows because that person is already known to be trustworthy. That's why networking skills are really important. I know that sometimes people hire a friend or family member who should not have been hired, but that's not what I am talking about.
@@kamcorder3585 Nah, these recruiters don't even read the qualitications. They only judge by grammer and how neat your resume looks. How do they even hire for compentent? As for hiring someone whom someone knows. That is not a reliable way for a good hire even. I worked in a company once when the manager will make a big show of asking for recommendation but in reality, reject all candidates and bring in the one he wants because of office politics Also, when a referral fee is offered. People will refer someone whom they hardly know eg, a friend of a friend, even an acquaintance of an acquaintance. Some even will refer strangers on the internet if theyvare from the same country.
Reading my mind. As soon as I scrolled to this comment I thought of state workers and the only way to get into a position with the state is to know someone. Lol It's very much true.
Exactly. These are just tactics to reject other candidates. "But this candidate has much better qualifications and experience" "But that line he uses in the middle of the resume really throws me off. Let's go with my wife's sister"
Once a lady friend of mine couldn't find a job for over a year (in 2016), so she created a CV & put funny stuff instead of real answers: - What qualities are the best in your profession - Pretending like I'm working, snitching on colleagues, pretending I'm the sh1t in my department etc and some other funny stuff I couldn't remember now. She mistakenly sent it everywhere One company made an appointment just for fun, but she turned up to be good at her job, so they hired her 😂
Why did the company not just makes a standardized resumee with information what they wanna know (explicitly) and you just need to fill out. So, she can go through the resumees more efficiently and look only at stuff that she finds necessary. If you give the freedom to design your own resumee, expect things you dont like.
You should be educated on how to write a resume. Not everywhere will do that. Plus with no standardised form, they can easily find out who bothered to research into the company and job place. Who took time out of their day and who went “oh ill just use the one from my last few jobs. Its all the same anyway” which is a key thing that these people look for.
Some company get you fill a web resume so it's standard. At least for the first part of the recruiting, when you have 1000 resume for only one job. After they can take time to read the real resume on the short list.
As a someone who's looking for an employees, I like it when they include their skills and hobbies and tell me something about themselves. It shows ingenuity and creativity of the person. However, this lady is an "expert" so I must be wrong.
ᚲᚨᚢᛚᛞᚱᛟᚾ ᛃᛟᛏᛁ, I wouldn’t call her an expert. For example, she said the points needed periods, but that rule only applies to sentences. From the points that I could read, none qualified as a sentence. This is a case of hyper correcting and is worse than not correcting at all, in my opinion.
That's why I'd say it's important to find out about the place you are applying at before putting together a resume for them. Are they a place that wants your personality, hobbies, and individuality or are they a place that just needs a qualified person to fill a role? This evaluator clearly is looking for someone who is neat, efficient, and precise, so she looks for a resume that reflects that. If someone has a problem with her style, I suspect they wouldn't be a good fit for that company culture. Apply somewhere you think you'll fit in better, and I think you'll find an evaluator who shares some of your opinions on what makes a good resume.
star and fox “owes see.” What? The phrase is “always see.” Edit: Also, you can’t be dyslexia. You can have dyslexia, you can suffer from dyslexia, hell, you could be dyslexic. But, you can’t “is dyslexia.”

You have to create an impression using skills not looks. I have heard from many places that photos shouldn't be part of it Because if the HR feels he or she doesn't look good, HR would get bad impression, if he feels they look good, he gets a feeling like "does he think he can only impress with his looks and not with his skillset" then also he gets bad impression. So it's good to avoid it
@@wge621 It's just that it's irrelevant to the position that I am applying for and it takes up space, and it may not be well received by the person seeing it, so I would suggest them not to add a photograph.

Some things said in that video are false I think it's not that accurate. It's just my point of view, I respect your opinion but it's just that I don't agree with it. You shouldn't judge based on photograph. And interview questions shouldn't be culture specific unless its relevant to job. Even though he is Asian he may know about American culture.

@@addysaw alright genius, please enlighten me on a better system. Realistically, there is already a better system that is way more robust than a random HR person reviewing a resume. Computer programs scan these documents for key words and weed out resumes that don’t fit. Plus, most jobs require an online application process that also works to vet candidates. Maybe a dozen or so candidates make it through this process and their resumes are forwarded onto a hiring manager. If the resume looks like trash, why would I even consider that candidate if I were the hiring manager. You act like the information on how to write a resume isn’t readily available. A quick google search will give you all the information you need. Every university in the country teaches resume writing in capstone courses. Top candidates aren’t getting turned down for trash resumes. If their a top candidate, their resume is probably top notch too because they took the extra hour to figure out how to write a nice resume. A resume is a small piece of the pie anyway. You still have to interview and make a good impression.
Going through resumes is tedious. Often times you’ll get hundreds of applications all with very similar levels of education/work experience. So yeah, if someone has a janky looking resume, we’ll just move on to the next qualified applicant. Why waste time trying to decipher a poorly written/formatted resume? I’ve sent out hundreds of my resumes for internships so I understand the struggle. But it’s not easy for either party
Hm, that to me seems like the position needs major reform. If the company doesn’t allow yall to state the actual wants/needs on the resume, then I think the time should be taken to actually read the material instead of “style”. Whenever I hear “it isn’t easy for either party”, that means a shakeup is extremely necessary

With a non-technical interviewer, the questions become a general knowledge quiz and, you stand of fall by those ticks in the checkboxes. With a qualified technical interviewer, you can ask your own questions to clarify details.
Resumés are now actually rocket science. It's insane.

As many people have already pointed out. You DO NOT put periods if you are using bullet points, EVER. It is grammatically incorrect to do so. The whole point of a bullet is that you are not using a full sentence. The rest of t makes sense though.

loveanianimeme - She is referring to the 6 categories of information needed on a resume: Education, experience, skills, honors, activities, and something else I forgot.
loveanianimeme Personally, I organize move into four main sections. that keeps it ultra simple and to the point, namely purpose (or objective), experience, education, and skills. edit: I forgot about honors or activities because mine is visually correlated with skills since it's additional information that gives the reader a peer into what I'm about.
Barnesrino Kripperino both in highschool and in college, students can receive awards for academic achievements such as graduating cum laude, magna cum laude, and Suma cum laude (with honors, with high honor, and with highest honor) based on GPA. there are other awards too like the Chancellor's list or Dean's list based on maintaining a certain GPA for a specific number of semesters or awards more specific to your department. for example, the departmental music award for academic excellence in all music courses etc. activities or organizations can include clubs that you were a member of, honor societies, fraternities or sororities, or volunteer work such as being a big brother or sister for the boys and girls club.
No, I'd say using a good font size and not crowding text was important, too. Arguably *more* important than spelling. Typos happen from time to time, and that's understandable. But if you're extremely qualified and have NO spelling errors....but the text is too small to read, it won't matter anyway. Lol

@Danilo Boskovic I work in one of the largest investment banks in the world, so education is naturally an important element. My point is that we get so many resumes and have so much to select from that resume errors/format are being used to eliminate applicants, so no need to be concerned about our talent pool. The thought is that if you can't put a good resume together, you don't have the basic skills. I am also not HR, but I've seen this happen, quite frequently.

Resume "experts" are not experts. At anything. This is a perfect example of missing the forest for the trees. A single spelling mistake or formating preference does not negate decades of education and experience. This lady is an absolute joke.
MrEvanDavidson unfortunately, that's the way it works. No wonder why some companies have high turnovers. Perfect resume and interviews, subpar work performance.
Are you a fool? If you have "decades of education and experience" then why can't you spell? Why can't you put forward your case for yourself clearly and legibly? This is your employer's first impression of you. If it says "I am sloppy" or "I don't care about this" or worse "I don't have the ability to write 2 pages of text in a suitable way" then you are reducing your chances. Trust me, there are plenty of other people with "decades of education and experience" who can write a coherent Curriculum Vitae. Are you going to shrug and let them beat you? Of course you are, your comment already indicates that you know everything worth knowing and you will never try and improve yourself.
i agree...they want someone who can edit...if you can't spell correctly on your CV that you had the ability to check for months, what can they expect from daily emails that represent the company??
A single spelling mistake from someone who supposedly has years of professiona lexperience is a huge flag in their book. There really is no excuse when writing your resume on MS word, or any one of the open source software where spell check is common. Even LaTeX supports spell check. On top of it, every resume should at least pass through another set of eyes.

The dance team should not be on the resume unless you are applying to a job as a dancer or dance instructor or judge. Save it for the interview. It also Will give you a chance to talk about something you are apparently passionate about.

"Experts" like these should be fired themselves, as they cost the company potentially good employees. Your job is to find talented people that fit the job, and ensure compliance with regulations within and outside of interview rooms if you work in HR. Not to police resume appearance.

swiftrealm No......idiots do not recognize the value of education. Do you know how poorly organizations' practices are in almost any field across industries? Like take cybersecurity for instance......ppl are more concerned about hiring a guy that has a bachelors but with 8 years experience as opposed to a new graduate with a masters that learnt and trained on the ins and outs of the field. And then companies wonder why they're getting ransomware or hacked all the time.
It doesn't matter to the CEO or upper management that are in charge of the company, that their company are hacked or lose money. They still get their paid their bonus, or their golden parachute even when their company goes bankrupt.

Some resume tips that are probably a little less outdated: - Keep it short; one-pagers are the best - Keep it personal; don't go crazy with buzzwords -- in most cases it's a "buzz kill" - Most important information on top; if you just finished school that's school info. But once you progress into your career, jobs usually go to the top and education to the bottom. - Summarize your experience; had a job? Explain in one or a few sentences what you achieved. Being specific on what you achieved is often appreciated as these are great conversation starters. - 6 second rule; take a good step back and look at your resume (preferably through squinting eyes). What catches your eye first? Should you swap things around? Tip: In the western world we read top to bottom, left to right. Large and more colorful items attract our attention first. Also, to give my two cents on the whole "picture and hobbies on resume debacle"; I feel it's okay to add a small picture and mention a few words on personal hobbies. I personally experienced that having a picture on my resume was the thing that got me through to the next round of interviews. They had interviewed over a dozen people and when they gave me the call-back they mentioned it was actually GOOD that I had a picture, just because they immediately remembered me as "her, I liked her", when seeing that picture on my resume.
@@JacobKinsley Your career advisor is silly! Would you rather read a whole book when someone who knows his stuff can give you a great summary? NO! You've got better things to do when working through hundreds of resumées. Being concise is nice. Not only because you learn to "elevator pitch" yourself, but also because most job recruiters are lazy (I know it, I've recruited quite a few people by now and I practically always lose interest after flipping the page)
I mean its not about the spelling as much as it is about the lack of attention to detail and just not being smart or dedicated enough to scan it through a grammar and spell check. It kinda shows the person is sloppy and doesn't care enough. Wouldn't do a second run of their work to check if its correct.
You are aware that the people looking at the resumes go through hundreds if not thousands of resumes, right? Even if there is a small team to go through the resumes, to give a mistake the benefit of the doubt means you give other small mistakes the benefit of the doubt just to be fair. And trust me that's too much, since odds are that these resume-lookers have tons of other responsibilities they have to attend to. Hence why they look for any reason to toss the resume in the trash. Not to mention misspelling a very common word, especially when you have to encounter that word at least a million times in formal education, that's already a red flag. Especially when odds a person odds are has the time to proofread. And with spellcheck on Microsoft Word, there's no excuse for misspelling the word, "education."
I don't know man. Resume is a very important document for people. If you aren't even careful enough to check for mistakes in the paper that will land you jobs, you must be very sloppy and uncaring(but that's just my opinion).
You're hiring someone. Just read the resume ask them any info if necessary, all this resume stuff is a first world problem. Why do people make big deal out of this? You're hiring people, talk to them.
Because often for roles and because the internet makes it easy to apply companies can get way to many applications and it becomes to hard to talk to all of them. So corners are cut and bad resumes are filtered out.
In some cases companies can get thousands of resumes for a single position, so they don't often have the time to actually go through each of the resumes. So they just cherry pick the ones that seem good at first glance and then read those more thoroughly. Some large companies can also use computer programs for the initial elimination process. The program such searches for important key words from the resumes and/or applications and pick the best matches.

It's really important to have good written communication skills and attention to detail. If I decide not to hire someone, it's not because his or her resume is lacking in some arbitrary standards. I chose not to hire him or her because of inability to back up claims or use good business English, which are likely a part of the job that the person is applying for.

resumes are a stupid way of doing this anyway. People should fill out one standardised résumé and every employer should require that standardised résumé. Not everyone is good with graphical presentation and might be perfect for the job but be disregarded because someone else had a better looking résumé. One step further, these standardised résumés could be stored by the government and when you apply to the job you just give the number written on your identity card and they automatically get access to it. Any thoughts?
Leonel Gouveia Agreed another thing that needs to go is the interview, they should have you SHOW what you can do instead of telling them what you can do (which 90% of time is BS just to get past the interview)
I agree to a certain extent. Sometimes people apply to jobs in different fields, so they require more than one resume. I have at least three. One with education at the top so I can get some research positions (I'm still in school), one for administrative work, and another for Animal Care. Clear your system would require a little more flexibility.

Schools/universities: put education first and make yourself seem like a good, rounded individual
Industry: we don't care about you or you past we just want you to be able to do this one super specific thing
Basically employers just want common sense and basic logic. Everything else can be learned. Schools don't tell you this because how else are they going to scam all of you for thousands of dollars.
Especially if you're stupid enough to go for liberal arts.
If you are fresh out of college, education does matter. If you have 10-15 years of experience it won't matter.
Education only goes first when you are in school or just coming out of school. After enough years in the field though, it should go towards the bottom like she said.
Depends on the school and how much experience you have. Some law firms only recruit from certain schools so putting your education first would matter. On the other hand,iIf you're a doctor with 20 years of experience, I'm sure your college is the least important part of your resume. It's not that hard to use discernment on these things.

But at the end of the day they end up hiring someone that knows someone at the company/place.
That's not actually as bad as it sounds. Hiring someone is a huge risk because of access to secure information, money, etc. Additionally, an incompetent employee can waste lots of money. Companies have a tendency to hire someone an employee already knows because that person is already known to be trustworthy. That's why networking skills are really important. I know that sometimes people hire a friend or family member who should not have been hired, but that's not what I am talking about.

I worked in a company once when the manager will make a big show of asking for recommendation but in reality, reject all candidates and bring in the one he wants because of office politics

Why did the company not just makes a standardized resumee with information what they wanna know (explicitly) and you just need to fill out.
So, she can go through the resumees more efficiently and look only at stuff that she finds necessary.
If you give the freedom to design your own resumee, expect things you dont like.
I am honestly impressed by this comment. You're totally right!
You should be educated on how to write a resume. Not everywhere will do that.
Plus with no standardised form, they can easily find out who bothered to research into the company and job place. Who took time out of their day and who went “oh ill just use the one from my last few jobs. Its all the same anyway” which is a key thing that these people look for.
Some company get you fill a web resume so it's standard. At least for the first part of the recruiting, when you have 1000 resume for only one job. After they can take time to read the real resume on the short list.
Yes i get that but i still stand by my point of not all places will do that. Therefor, you should be educated on how to write them correctly.
That's called an application form
As a someone who's looking for an employees, I like it when they include their skills and hobbies and tell me something about themselves. It shows ingenuity and creativity of the person. However, this lady is an "expert" so I must be wrong.
ᚲᚨᚢᛚᛞᚱᛟᚾ ᛃᛟᛏᛁ, I wouldn’t call her an expert. For example, she said the points needed periods, but that rule only applies to sentences. From the points that I could read, none qualified as a sentence.
This is a case of hyper correcting and is worse than not correcting at all, in my opinion.
That's why I'd say it's important to find out about the place you are applying at before putting together a resume for them. Are they a place that wants your personality, hobbies, and individuality or are they a place that just needs a qualified person to fill a role? This evaluator clearly is looking for someone who is neat, efficient, and precise, so she looks for a resume that reflects that. If someone has a problem with her style, I suspect they wouldn't be a good fit for that company culture. Apply somewhere you think you'll fit in better, and I think you'll find an evaluator who shares some of your opinions on what makes a good resume.

Realistically, there is already a better system that is way more robust than a random HR person reviewing a resume. Computer programs scan these documents for key words and weed out resumes that don’t fit. Plus, most jobs require an online application process that also works to vet candidates. Maybe a dozen or so candidates make it through this process and their resumes are forwarded onto a hiring manager. If the resume looks like trash, why would I even consider that candidate if I were the hiring manager.
You act like the information on how to write a resume isn’t readily available. A quick google search will give you all the information you need. Every university in the country teaches resume writing in capstone courses. Top candidates aren’t getting turned down for trash resumes. If their a top candidate, their resume is probably top notch too because they took the extra hour to figure out how to write a nice resume.

Going through resumes is tedious. Often times you’ll get hundreds of applications all with very similar levels of education/work experience. So yeah, if someone has a janky looking resume, we’ll just move on to the next qualified applicant. Why waste time trying to decipher a poorly written/formatted resume?
I’ve sent out hundreds of my resumes for internships so I understand the struggle. But it’s not easy for either party
educuation*
Hm, that to me seems like the position needs major reform. If the company doesn’t allow yall to state the actual wants/needs on the resume, then I think the time should be taken to actually read the material instead of “style”.
Whenever I hear “it isn’t easy for either party”, that means a shakeup is extremely necessary
Actually agreed with the point on education. If you’re an experienced hire, education should be after experience.
This video probably would have been more helpful/productive if it included tips to improve your resume or ways to fix these mistakes instead of just pointing out rather obvious errors.
If you were smart enough, you'd figure it out by yourself by now. Facts.
Except they aren't that obvious to most people.
It did include tips, like don't include your face, add periods after a sentence, etc.

@@vishaltaker9101 Correct. My own work is in IT and my heart sinks if I am to be interviewed by a non-technical person. If it's HR, then they generally have a list of questions and checkboxes prepared by some Tech person that is involved in the minutiae of their current project.
With a non-technical interviewer, the questions become a general knowledge quiz and, you stand of fall by those ticks in the checkboxes.
With a qualified technical interviewer, you can ask your own questions to clarify details.

As many people have already pointed out. You DO NOT put periods if you are using bullet points, EVER. It is grammatically incorrect to do so. The whole point of a bullet is that you are not using a full sentence. The rest of t makes sense though.
This absolutely incorrect. There are many instances when bulleted items get punctuation. Go to Amazon buy a copy of Strunk and White. Basic middle school grammar book.

1:57 "Recruiters are looking for 6 specific pieces of information"
Well what are they?
loveanianimeme - She is referring to the 6 categories of information needed on a resume: Education, experience, skills, honors, activities, and something else I forgot.
loveanianimeme Personally, I organize move into four main sections. that keeps it ultra simple and to the point, namely purpose (or objective), experience, education, and skills.
edit: I forgot about honors or activities because mine is visually correlated with skills since it's additional information that gives the reader a peer into what I'm about.
Purpleknite what even is honors and activities
Barnesrino Kripperino both in highschool and in college, students can receive awards for academic achievements such as graduating cum laude, magna cum laude, and Suma cum laude (with honors, with high honor, and with highest honor) based on GPA. there are other awards too like the Chancellor's list or Dean's list based on maintaining a certain GPA for a specific number of semesters or awards more specific to your department. for example, the departmental music award for academic excellence in all music courses etc. activities or organizations can include clubs that you were a member of, honor societies, fraternities or sororities, or volunteer work such as being a big brother or sister for the boys and girls club.
Purpleknite ok... so being a Cum Lord is what I needed... I think a lot of people qualify for that award.

Literally the only coherent criticism she offered was the misspelling of education.
No, I'd say using a good font size and not crowding text was important, too. Arguably *more* important than spelling.
Typos happen from time to time, and that's understandable. But if you're extremely qualified and have NO spelling errors....but the text is too small to read, it won't matter anyway. Lol
@@Jhfisibejoso8pkabrvo2is8 indeed

Her points are mostly valid. A lot of people want to work in my firm and i know of resumes that are just thrown out for misspelling or poor formatting. The photo thing is a bit weird for the US but common practice in other countries.
@Danilo Boskovic I work in one of the largest investment banks in the world, so education is naturally an important element. My point is that we get so many resumes and have so much to select from that resume errors/format are being used to eliminate applicants, so no need to be concerned about our talent pool.
The thought is that if you can't put a good resume together, you don't have the basic skills. I am also not HR, but I've seen this happen, quite frequently. That's just the reality in the corporate world. If you don't have an enticing resume, then good luck finding a job.
PS. jobs that don't require an education also probably don't require resumes
Austin Nguyen she can’t spell education so
bullet point arent sentences lol
Unlike your comment, which should end with a period.

Jonathan Small yaaaasss!! Thank you! No periods after bullets. I pray this recruiter reads it!
Jonathan Small- yes! we are taught not put a period if it is in bullet form
Most business schools require this format with education at the top. If she’s an expert, she would know this.
I think that only applies if you dont have any work experience
You obviously haven't had many jobs
its a school, not a job. Work experience is better than education 10+ years down the line.
In corporate jobs they care about your education & what degree you have. Especially big corporate like tech & finance / accounting
> Most business schools
operative word being schools
Honestly I’ve been recruiting people - and I really like it when you attach a photo! It’s a lot easier to remember the person when you have 10+ resumes printed on your desk

In Japan, yeah the photos are very common, kind of essential

Michael Spears Well, I'm a Scandinavian and we didn't have any training in this field either. As for our good education, there have been great cuts which has led to more independent studying.

I think many of her points are pretty valid, but it really depends on where you're from etc. Where I'm from, they expect photos of you even when you apply for retail/store jobs and even if you've met them and gave them your resymé in person to them. And, if you don't look like what they like, you don't get the job. There's a takeaway pizzeria/burger/magasines/kinda place here where EVERYONE of their 12 employes are blonde girls between 18-21 years old. I'm from Norway and yes, blondes aren't exactly unusal here, but they could all basically be twins or at least sisters.

Resume "experts" are not experts. At anything. This is a perfect example of missing the forest for the trees. A single spelling mistake or formating preference does not negate decades of education and experience. This lady is an absolute joke.
MrEvanDavidson unfortunately, that's the way it works. No wonder why some companies have high turnovers. Perfect resume and interviews, subpar work performance.
Are you a fool? If you have "decades of education and experience" then why can't you spell? Why can't you put forward your case for yourself clearly and legibly? This is your employer's first impression of you. If it says "I am sloppy" or "I don't care about this" or worse "I don't have the ability to write 2 pages of text in a suitable way" then you are reducing your chances.
Trust me, there are plenty of other people with "decades of education and experience" who can write a coherent Curriculum Vitae. Are you going to shrug and let them beat you? Of course you are, your comment already indicates that you know everything worth knowing and you will never try and improve yourself.
i agree...they want someone who can edit...if you can't spell correctly on your CV that you had the ability to check for months, what can they expect from daily emails that represent the company??
A single spelling mistake from someone who supposedly has years of professiona lexperience is a huge flag in their book. There really is no excuse when writing your resume on MS word, or any one of the open source software where spell check is common. Even LaTeX supports spell check. On top of it, every resume should at least pass through another set of eyes.
If you write ATTENTION TO DETAIL on a resume and don't bother to proofread for errors you've got problems.

It also Will give you a chance to talk about something you are apparently passionate about.

And then companies wonder why they're getting ransomware or hacked all the time.
It doesn't matter to the CEO or upper management that are in charge of the company, that their company are hacked or lose money. They still get their paid their bonus, or their golden parachute even when their company goes bankrupt.

This comment is underrated 😂
Some resume tips that are probably a little less outdated:
- Keep it short; one-pagers are the best
- Keep it personal; don't go crazy with buzzwords -- in most cases it's a "buzz kill"
- Most important information on top; if you just finished school that's school info. But once you progress into your career, jobs usually go to the top and education to the bottom.
- Summarize your experience; had a job? Explain in one or a few sentences what you achieved. Being specific on what you achieved is often appreciated as these are great conversation starters.
- 6 second rule; take a good step back and look at your resume (preferably through squinting eyes). What catches your eye first? Should you swap things around? Tip: In the western world we read top to bottom, left to right. Large and more colorful items attract our attention first.
Also, to give my two cents on the whole "picture and hobbies on resume debacle"; I feel it's okay to add a small picture and mention a few words on personal hobbies. I personally experienced that having a picture on my resume was the thing that got me through to the next round of interviews. They had interviewed over a dozen people and when they gave me the call-back they mentioned it was actually GOOD that I had a picture, just because they immediately remembered me as "her, I liked her", when seeing that picture on my resume.
Marry me 😂😂😂 you helped me by a lot! Thank you!
Thank god someone appreciates 1 page cvs my career adviser had NONE of it despite me having no work experience whatsoever lol
@@JacobKinsley Your career advisor is silly! Would you rather read a whole book when someone who knows his stuff can give you a great summary? NO! You've got better things to do when working through hundreds of resumées. Being concise is nice. Not only because you learn to "elevator pitch" yourself, but also because most job recruiters are lazy (I know it, I've recruited quite a few people by now and I practically always lose interest after flipping the page)
Thanks. This made a lot more sense than the video.
i dont like the whole picture thing but good advice
I would hire a person who can't spell properly over someone who can't forgive occasional human errors
I mean its not about the spelling as much as it is about the lack of attention to detail and just not being smart or dedicated enough to scan it through a grammar and spell check. It kinda shows the person is sloppy and doesn't care enough. Wouldn't do a second run of their work to check if its correct.
@@prerna5581 you would be surprised how many spelling checkers Donald actually notice errors.
You are aware that the people looking at the resumes go through hundreds if not thousands of resumes, right? Even if there is a small team to go through the resumes, to give a mistake the benefit of the doubt means you give other small mistakes the benefit of the doubt just to be fair. And trust me that's too much, since odds are that these resume-lookers have tons of other responsibilities they have to attend to. Hence why they look for any reason to toss the resume in the trash. Not to mention misspelling a very common word, especially when you have to encounter that word at least a million times in formal education, that's already a red flag. Especially when odds a person odds are has the time to proofread. And with spellcheck on Microsoft Word, there's no excuse for misspelling the word, "education."
It's not even a spelling mistake, it's a typo. UCU, accidentally hit the U twice. Sure, he/she should've double checked but cmon
I don't know man. Resume is a very important document for people. If you aren't even careful enough to check for mistakes in the paper that will land you jobs, you must be very sloppy and uncaring(but that's just my opinion).
You're hiring someone. Just read the resume ask them any info if necessary, all this resume stuff is a first world problem. Why do people make big deal out of this? You're hiring people, talk to them.
Interviews are better. You get to see what your employee is like first hand.
Because often for roles and because the internet makes it easy to apply companies can get way to many applications and it becomes to hard to talk to all of them. So corners are cut and bad resumes are filtered out.
In some cases companies can get thousands of resumes for a single position, so they don't often have the time to actually go through each of the resumes. So they just cherry pick the ones that seem good at first glance and then read those more thoroughly. Some large companies can also use computer programs for the initial elimination process. The program such searches for important key words from the resumes and/or applications and pick the best matches.
Rohith Kumar it depends on the job. If u applying for a big top job u need to be qualified. If ur applying for a small job at a small place then u dont need much
You want them to talk to 5000+ applicants each time they need to hire somebody ?
Actual title was:
"How a Karen can ruin a company"
They just changed title so that it look good😂😂
Edit : this is what happens when you interview wrong person at wrong time
Why is this the most anxiety inducing video I have EVER watched?
Agreed I'm getting anxious through my phone everytime she talks 😳
imagine getting paid to know that you crush peoples dreams and effort because their resume didn’t meet your highly opinionated standards based on a period
This is totally subjective. Aside from obvious stuff like spelling mistakes and avoiding tiny text, it really all depends on who's reading your resume
Different industries have résume standards though
She's the reason why people don't take HR (well, recruiters) seriously.
Its funny how someone could be perfect for the job but a couple paragraphs can screw everything up... we should be doing things differently lol
Most companies are doing things differently, don't worry.
@@narcis3720 BUT BRO IM PANICKING IDEK HOW TO NOT WORRY AT THIS POINT
It's really important to have good written communication skills and attention to detail. If I decide not to hire someone, it's not because his or her resume is lacking in some arbitrary standards. I chose not to hire him or her because of inability to back up claims or use good business English, which are likely a part of the job that the person is applying for.
When the interviewer who you submitted your resume is a KAREN!!!
Damn, she checking those résumés just like how my English teachers would grade my essays.😂
She's the type of person who rejects jobs for people because reading an orange colored text on a white background is "too challenging" for her... She should be fired or prevented from achieving a position of power.
she was just offering a tip, man chill
I mean really though who uses orange on a resume
PlatinumCRV I don’t think you understand how competitive the applications are that she’s judging. If you want to makes hundreds of thousands (which I assume is the level she’s working at) you damn well better have some presentation skills.
Sarah Anderson designers obviously would
Katy Smith She's not against the use of color, just a more appropriate color that stands out against a white background. There are oranges that have shades of red that pop out. Even the color red is acceptable, but in moderation.
Basically she is saying don't make my eyes work too much, especailly for someone that has to peruse 100's of resumes a day.
The expert doesn’t know the importance of the experience that team orientated activities provide the candidate, nor does she know how impressive that GMAT score was, but hey at least she knows how to spell education.
her: "These dots are subjective"
me: okay...
her: "I rather have 'Proficient' and 'Expert'..."
me: isn't that subjective too???
resumes are a stupid way of doing this anyway. People should fill out one standardised résumé and every employer should require that standardised résumé. Not everyone is good with graphical presentation and might be perfect for the job but be disregarded because someone else had a better looking résumé. One step further, these standardised résumés could be stored by the government and when you apply to the job you just give the number written on your identity card and they automatically get access to it. Any thoughts?
Leonel Gouveia Agreed another thing that needs to go is the interview, they should have you SHOW what you can do instead of telling them what you can do (which 90% of time is BS just to get past the interview)
Agreed. Not to mention that questions should be quick, simple, and to the point, if applications are going to have specific questions.
I agree to a certain extent. Sometimes people apply to jobs in different fields, so they require more than one resume. I have at least three. One with education at the top so I can get some research positions (I'm still in school), one for administrative work, and another for Animal Care. Clear your system would require a little more flexibility.
Many employers use standardized forms.
Leonel Gouveia sooo basically what we already have in Europe? You guys should take notes.
You should make a video of different reviewers, reviewing each other's resumes. Let's see if they have what it takes 🙃
These are like the judges of talent shows that rejects talented people after having seen 3 seconds of their performance.
After 15 years of experience my educuation still is the most important part and deserves to be at the top. To prove I am educuated.
