How to TAILOR Your RESUME to any COMPANY and JOB LISTING!
I HOPE you don't send the same resume to all job applications! For a better chance of getting called for an interview and land that dream job, you need to TAILOR your resume! In this video, I walk through why it's important to be intentional with your job search, how to research the company's values and what the job is looking for, then lastly, exactly HOW to cater your resume to the finished product! Stick around to hear what Accenture saw from my resume and why I was called for an interview.
IMPORTANT: I know these are rough times. Unfortunately this video was already filmed, but I will say it here: The poverty rate in the US is 22% for the Black population (among the highest), so they can't access the resources and knowledge the privileged can through paid courses or even higher education. I make this information accessible through KZread on how to improve your chances on getting a better job through tailoring your resume to companies and jobs - a skill most people don't have! As many are laid off or furloughed due to Covid-19, this resource is great to help you get back up on your feet.

My friends and I started this gofundme to help support local New York businesses that were affected by the raiding and looting. It's sad how so many innocent businesses who were already affected by covid-19 are now further affected by such senseless actions. Please consider funding this, and if you know of any NY local businesses, please also direct them to this to apply for the relief fund as well! Even if it's 1 dollar or 100 dollars, any amount helps.

this is pretty much the exact process i use when i tailor my resume too! i think a lot of people don't realize how much companies see how you fit into their values when they decide on whether or not to look at your resume further :)

Thanks! Unfortunately I can only do it for tech consulting because that’s actually my background. Bookkeeping and accounting is way out of my area as to tailor your resume, you require knowledge of the career and field. In addition, it is outside of my niche.
Can you make the job description, your resume with highlighted entries and the final tailored resume available for download? It would be helpful to compare them all to get a better understanding of everything you said. It's easier than skipping back and forth in the video.

Thank you for this video! Question about incoming positions - is it worth putting it on your resume if you won't be able to write anything about it at the time of submitting your resume for an internship position?
@ChristineWong

I would put it on your LinkedIn, but on your resume, I would put it down if it’s relevant to the internship you’re applying for. If anything, I would put a bullets on what you expect to be doing even though the purpose of the resume is to list achievements and not what you did.

@@rosemaryfengchannel It’s not really supposed to be a summary of what you did but more of the accomplishments of what you did that are directly relevant to the role you apply to. That usually cuts down a lot. If they wanted your job description, it’s easy to figure that out during the interview. Resume is more like showing off what you have done and what value you can bring to the next company.
Just to clarify, would you keep the highlighting on your resume when you submit it or would you take the highlighting off?

@ChristineWong
Жыл бұрын
There isn’t a secret formula because you really need to just do the research and the work, but if you have a lack of experience, look into the leadership, volunteer, extracurricular or project experiences you had in school. Or if you don’t have those, look into personal projects and/or network with people to get your foot in the door! Then try to tailor those desirable soft and hard skills to the role! You got this!

If you tailor a resume for communications roles, for example, and apply to 10 in one day, do you tailor it 10 times or once to fit the roles you apply for?
@ChristineWong

Ideally 10 times, but if they are all the same role type, there aren’t many differences, but for example, UX designer and graphic designer are both designing roles, but they are still very different.
