Remember, your resume is ultimately your ‘passport’ to your next dream job. Take your time with it, make sure it’s professional and it gives the best view of who you are and what you bring to the table. You've got this! I wish you every success! 😊
I've been asked to provide a complete professional history on my resume, to prove over 25 years of experience in order to be considered a Senior level candidate. I recommend that people keep a complete resume updated along with a short version.
I had the opposite experience regarding resume length... For a very long time I had a single page resume, and never received too many interview calls. Soon after I made a lengthy and detailed resume, I started to get many interview calls, and I cleared one. Same experience my wife too had... her 10 page CV helped her clear 4 interviews, thus had 4 offers to choose from.
I love that you're addressing the mistakes teachers often make when transitioning to different careers. It's essential to approach the job search with a fresh mindset and avoid falling into these traps. Thank you for the helpful advice!
I understand your point about headshots but the UNFORTUNATE thing is that with the prevalent use of LinkedIn, we are exposed to the same bias you mentioned about headshots. No one seems to talk about this!! LinkedIn is being promoted as a great resource and it is recommended that one includes a photo. The photo is how some potential employers or recruiters judge you before even reading about what you have to offer.
AMEN! Thank you, Brigette! I'm taking the time to re-brand myself as suitable to be a supervisor/manager. I've spent far too many years feeling underpaid at jobs that were easy for me to achieve. I'm taking a stand to strive for better and challenge my capabilities. I'm pretty excited!
Well-done Ms Hyacinth! A résumé is a _sales brochure_ created solely for the purpose of obtaining an interview. When I was tasked with running job clubs for the unemployed I used a sample résumé created by the successful applicant for the job of co-ordinating the election campaign for a US senator. It was one side of an American Letter page, so slightly shorter than A4! The résumé listed the achievements of the applicant in such things as planning, co-ordination, budgeting etc, quantified wherever possible. One's immediate reaction to the document was a strong desire to meet her. Nowhere was it mentioned that her formidable skills were acquired by being a highly successful housewife! Having had to assess job applications while managing a business, one is looking for ways to _reject_ applications! You want to reduce the applications to the 3 or 4 most likely hires as quickly as possible. Fortunately most applicants' résumés make this easy, although tedious when there are more than a hundred to scrutinise! Successful résumés make the employer's task easier.
is the "avoiding of overuse theme for me", something to correct by me.thank you Brigette. I would appreciate you make videos as regards to applying for entry level jobs especially for fresh graduates, how to go about the interviews,how to make up your CV for specifically that and so on...
Amen! Been a Recruiter for 6 years now and still I learn new things from this content realizing that I have several mistakes with how my resume is being presented specially highlighting accomplishment instead of task/responsibilities.
I honestly don't have a choice. I think tasks and responsibilities highlight your competencies and skills you're able to do when you don't exactly have quantified "accomplishments". Not every job out there is even applicable to that. That's like corporate and office work.
Excellent brief @BrigetteHyacinth ! This was the most informative résumé brief I've seen! Using examples of what to change to was the perfect educational tool. And because of your closing: *"With God, all things are possible."* I subscribed!
I was recommended to your channel by a friend. I have been struggling when applying for jobs and take far too long crafting a resume as I over think things. My biggest challenge is tailoring my resume to the job description. Sometimes I take a who day to craft a resume. Thanks for your tips, I am guilty of writing too much and obsessed in getting every bullet point grammatically correct.
Certainly opened my eyes on the pointers you just mentioned! All are found in my resume, it makes my current one like an amateur's write up. Fixing it asap - thank you very much for the pointers!
You are the best I have seen so far. I was just severance due to outsourcing overseas. Well, the people the customers complained about now have all the work. I wish the company the best. They will need it.
Amen! Thank you for these amazing tips! I have a long career history and really struggled with getting that 2-3 pages -these tips will for sure get that for me! It is has been a long time for me, having to be on the job search and there have been many changes over the years. Thank you again!❤️
... Just started this video, and legit the first thing you brought up I had already done, not out of some knowledge but shear laziness just wanting to make a "Good enough" resume...
Such great pointers that you would think most folks would know as common standards. This is where her content fills in the blanks for the people whom it doesn't come naturally. Thank you @Brigette
I get the idea to highlight accomplishments vs. duties. But they list what will be expected in the role, so on one side I have to list what my experience is using the SAME words as in the job add, while not listing experience but focusing on accomplishments. Sounds like two opposing things to me.
THANK YOU! LOVE THAT YOU CALL OUT THAT PRONOUNS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WOOOOORRRRK EXPERIENCE! I feel SO sorry for those of you who have to read resumes that may focus on that aspect.
Hi Bridgette, my first time seeing your content. I do employability support in the disability sector in Scotland. I've been teaching exactly everything you've advised on this video with significant pushback from 'industry professionals '. With one minor exception, which may be a cultural difference, about making sure the personal statement is first person, although I do utterly agree with removing it for the rest. Otherwise you hit every single point exactly! Thanks for the reassurance 😀
Thanks for these invaluable tips, whoops, action verbs, let me express my profound gratitude for these invaluable pearls of wisdom for a professional resume.
These are great tips. The only caveat I'd have for removing experience is unless it's for the U.S. civil service. All of your relevant experience has a direct affect on your ability to get the job and whether you can negotiate your salary.
Remember, your resume is ultimately your ‘passport’ to your next dream job. Take your time with it, make sure it’s professional and it gives the best view of who you are and what you bring to the table. You've got this! I wish you every success! 😊
Thank you for the encouragement. Brigette!
Thank you so much for your videos. It's been over 2 weeks I started watching them and I just landed a job. Keep up the good work.
Amen
Thank you. Learning new things everyday!
Words are less to thank you! @Brigette Hyacinth.

I am detailing my CV now. i need more than two pages.
@@DEUSNIBYOt sure, that would be great!
If you're applying for a job that requires a CV however many only need a resume.
I love that you're addressing the mistakes teachers often make when transitioning to different careers. It's essential to approach the job search with a fresh mindset and avoid falling into these traps. Thank you for the helpful advice!
Amen and great advice. I wish I knew this after I graduated college over 20 years ago😂
Thanks Brigette - After watching this I realized that my resume needs a lot of work.

You aught to improve your grammar as well.
There is no wrong way to do a resume.

Extremely helpful. These tips are so specific, they can be implemented immediately.

Thank you. Amen!
I get the idea to highlight accomplishments vs. duties. But they list what will be expected in the role, so on one side I have to list what my experience is using the SAME words as in the job add, while not listing experience but focusing on accomplishments. Sounds like two opposing things to me.
