    in the summary do i have to say. "i will be a great fit for the company because..." or can I just state that "I've proven" and add the things that they want in an employee that apply to me.

    • @Xamplio
      @Xamplio  3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      You typically want to avoid writing any "I" statements in the Summary. So instead of "I've proven great leadership skills over the past 5 years while managing projects" you'd say something more like "Proven leader with 5 years of experience managing projects."
      Avoiding the first person narrative can help you word things more concisely and fit in more keywords. The conversational tone and "I" statements are a great fit for your cover letter.
      I hope that helps!

    What happens when you have no prior job experience to type in? But you’re currently a university student.
    My situation is kind of unique.. I’m 27, I’ve always been disabled (not mobility wise), and I’m also a stay at home mom.
    I literally have no idea what I’m suppose to write for a resume or cover letter if I don’t have official work experience.
    Do you have any tips?

    • @Xamplio
      @Xamplio  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, Melanie - Wow, that is a unique situation, but you sound very strong! And though you might not have official work experience, we all know there are plenty of skills stay at home moms have to develop!
      In your case, I would recommend leaning in to your university experience and any other activities or groups you've been involved in. So that means you'll likely have soft skills in your skills section. (Think about any skills you've picked up at university, odd jobs, and as a stay at home mom.) Your education section should also be more detailed than on a typical resume, meaning you list relevant courses, projects, achievements, etc.I would also write an objective/summary section near the top of your resume. This is where you can state what type of job you're looking for. It's also a handy trick to be able to put some keywords in your resume.
      I have another video on my channel where I show how to make an entry level resume. I also have the template for free to download on my site: xamplio.com/career-resources
      I hope that helps!

      Thanks for the comment! This template is pretty safe as it's only using tables for contact info and skills, but people can tweak as they see fit. If one is concerned they can always put the skills table at the bottom of the resume so that the ATS picks up all the work and education first, or just use a comma-separate list of skills in place of the table.

    No work experience should mean you were never hired for a job. You don’t need qualifications to participate in volunteering or joining clubs in your school or community. Even experiences like babysitting your neighbour’s kid for example. They’re not interested in that role itself, but more into how that role made you, like being responsible, tolerant, etc
