    Tip for Indeed and other companies making youtube videos: Stop using Zoom or another video call app for your videos. It's so obvious because of the extra compression and especially the audio. If you have to record with Zoom, at least go into the settings and turn off the auto volume and other auto settings, turn the noise reduction to low, enable "original audio", and manually adjust the volume to a good level yourself. You'll still get some glitches from compression and internet, but at least it'll reduce the "ducking" it does trying to reduce background noise. It makes the audio really hard to listen to. But it'd be much better to use a program like OBS, or Camtasia, or any other app that allows you more control over audio and video quality, and records locally instead of using the internet. These zoom tutorials people have been making since 2020 are really hard to watch, especially because the audio is so "hollow" sounding. Anyways, a little late on this comment but whatever. These videos are very helpful, just hurts my ears and bothers me as a video guy. lol

    Thank you for the videos as I am looking to make my resume ATS friendly also being a member of Indeed. My question is to avoid ageism it’s stated to leave off the year of graduation but yet they ask during the application process so they can still discriminate so what is the suggestion there? Thank you for your time.

    Indeed, I understand that it states to have a 1 page resume, however, what happens when per the ATS scan, it states 36 years, how do you go about trimming a 3 page resume to 1 page? I also saw a comment avoiding ageism, and leaving off graduation date, what is your suggestion about that? Thanks!

    I would like more funicular videos! I am a camera operator and had to go back to valet parking back and forth cause no steady work! I could shoot and edit this video I’m watching right now with my home studio setup! Also I would love to do a video explaining the difference between software required for jobs! I have PowerDirector for editing software and most jobs and skill tests ask about Adobe Premium! They are all similar! Makes me so mad! I can learn different software from working! I have before!

    I agree dude. I recently switched to DaVinci Resolve after using Premiere for like 10 years, and it is SO MUCH BETTER. I understand certain studios have specific workflows, but for the majority of video/artist jobs they need to stop caring so much about which software you use, and just trust the skills. You don't hire a woodworker and tell him which brand saw he has to use. I guess we should just use these tips and start listing all of the programs so we can get past the ATS and to human eyes.

    So because ATS scans for keywords from the job description, and candidates are encouraged to use keywords from the job description, ATS has, paradoxically, made itself redundant as a filtering tool.

    I’m on this video again after two years ago. My question is do I even bother attaching a resume? Or just write on the Indeed application? I have had no luck and recently discovered a big problem! My Indeed profile listed almost everything out of order and stuff I wouldn’t even include! I swear I don’t think I wrote it! Also I just updated my resume last night on my computer and have the same problem I received from before. Indeed says it’s to small a file! Help please! Thanks!
