Maybe you forgot what she said at the beginning. She said it's not also about the look but also the contents. Recruiters do read resumes, especially the ones that are well made.

As a vocational manager I can tell you this: Your objective when applying online is to get your resume past the screening software of the employer. Try to put as many keywords from the job description into your resume and create a different resume for every job you apply for. Do not use borders or a lot of fancy fonts on your resume because the screening software might not be able to read your resume at all. Remember, your objective is to get your resume past the screening software.

I found this helped me if I paused at the time stamps to examine both the format and the content as an example for a resume: 0:09 to 0:13 for overall look to help recruiters scan through the resume for information they need to determine if they will short-list you for an interview, 0:15 to 0:35 for how to use top third of page, 1:07 to 1:00 for core competencies, and 1:26 to 1:38 for outlining professional experience.

Thank you. Short video and packed with useful information. I look at a lot of resumes and Amanda is right. I rarely read a resume top to bottom unless I see something intriguing at the top of the first page. Highlighted words and bullets help. There may not be a perfect resume but if you do what Amanda is saying, you'll get past my desk :-)

So the snapshot thing is basically true and relevant.

There’s no such thing as a perfect resume. Every resume is different. As long as you have all relevant information pertinent to the position that you’re applying for in good resume format then you’re good.

This represents the problem with employers today. They don't care as much about the applicant. I got recommended for a 140k starting salary job before I was even out of college all because I networked correctly. Let's see more videos on financial freedom, cooperation and functional approach to applying for a job. Even though learning how to build a resume is great.. Employers are going to have a hard time finding employees willing to put up with disagreeable people who want things their way.

How do you recommend networking correctly? Can I pick your brain? Seriously. The job hunt is a real trip :/

I remember once I was applying for an internship as a sales development intern and during the interview he asked about my micromouse project that I did. So sometimes recruiters do like to see hobbies that are not academic or work specific.

Great video.. thank you so much.

Here in India the problem is no matter how good and innovative interested your resume may be most of the job goes to referred peoples only in case of higher positions

This happens in the U.S. too, but it’s probably not as prevalent.

"you only get one page" Right but you want me to fit 3 or more yrs of experience, my education, and minimum 3 references on that one page.

Correct. First of all, 3 years isnt that much in the professional world. You should have no problem fitting that and your education on one sheet. Unless youve gone through a ton of different employers in those 3 years which also doesnt look good. And once you get a certain number of years experience (5-10+) your education becomes less important and can be briefly summarized at the bottom. Also you dont include references on a resume. Only provide references separately upon request. Hope that helps.

Don't forget t big header and a ton of white space.

Does anyone know where I can find this template? Or maybe I can just build it myself...I just need to know how to center the bulletpoints in the top portion.

Gracias por subir este video.

Any typical applicant tracking system would automatically reject this sort of resume.

@@benjamintreitz1647 Former employee of an ATS company, the information is parsed horribly. You need headers telling the system exactly what you’re going to outline below, then the title of the job, the company name, and then exactly what you did. It needs your education, software competencies/areas of expertise, any awards or certifications, any relevant publications and that’s it. The recruiter needs to be able to see in the first 5 seconds where you went to school, and what your last job was.

What about leaving white space for interviewers to take notes?

Thank you Amanda for clearing that up in very clear and concise order---I can take it from here--just needed to get my bearings.

everyone is talking about how connections are really important. i'm not from america but i'm quite intimidated by this because my family is quite poor and we have absolutely no connections. are connections really THAT important?? i mean, afterall, my country has a way higher employment rate than america but i'm still worried

jinyoung's swallowed water A lot of these comments are kind of dumb to be honest haha, so don't have a heart attack after reading them. Connections can definitely help, but only if they go so far. For example, I want to go into the bio field; unless I know someone already doing something medical/biological, I have to prove myself in a resume. Don't worry, connections definitely aren't required, and you can still make many connections even if you don't have any direct family ones (like at job fairs or internships.) Showing that you can take initiative and will fight to get important people in your field to recognize you are some of these best traits :)

Connections, which you usually get by networking (a skill that can be hard to learn), are important, but the level of importance is subjective. If you want to be a part of the entertainment industry, especially if you want to be an A-lister, networking is top priority, and just below that is probably getting your hands on every gig you can. I live in Canada and I've heard many entertainers, comedians, actors, and the like complain because the States gulfs their ability to make an impact. In situations like those, connections can be even more necessary. But if you want a quieter job, or a career where you don't need to climb a corporate ladder, networking is a benefit but not a necessity. I currently have about zero connections to anything, but I also know that it takes time. The connections thing is usually played up to offset the importance of a resume too, because sometimes you can get "in" just by knowing the right people, but honestly it's usually a mixed bag situation.

It must depend on the field because I've never had a hard time getting a job and I've never had a connection any where I got one. my skill set is obvious. Either you have it or you don't. No b.s.-ing. Maybe other kinds of jobs are different. If you have compitance and work ethic you should be fine.

That's the problem, unless you are part of the top tear of workers, that 5 percent of programmers, that 5 percent of marketers etc, you need to avoid recruiters - try to reach the actual hiring authorities. If the business only goes through recruiters - you are just out of luck. You ain't getting in through these gate keepers. Unless, as I stated - you didn't need the recruiters in the first place.
