A resume should always be short and concise and easy to get a quick overview, walking your interviewer though it is your chance to provide more details and more of a story than what could fit on that piece of paper. It's supposed to be the cliff notes to the narrative of your work experience that you provide in person.

@@Kas_Styles No a cover letter is to express your interest in the role, not give your whole entire work history. You may illuminate some key skills you developed in certain roles that may best assist you with the role you're applying for, but a cover letter should also be short and easy to read. Make it too long and it might not get read at all if there are a lot of applicants.

​@@akemiasahina4555Yes but, other countries outside the US who use a two page CV format have far less confusion for applicants and employers alike because you can actually provide enough information to understand and then just ask for "what did you learn from X project" or "what was the biggest challenge with X" type questions that are more engaging. US one-pagers help neither applicants or employers and is something we should be fighting to phase out.

Congrats! So how many lies did you need to tell?

Yeah, but it is way funnier to say "just read it." Cause you've already written it down like 5 times.

“Can you walk me through your resume” “I’m in grade 10 what is there to walk through?”

how to be passive aggressive: "well, as per my resume i sent to you, I am ...."

Crazy but sad thing is that an interviewer asked me the same thing. And I started discussing about the résumé in my history of it. But every 10 seconds, she would interrupt me and say “I’m gonna stop you there,” and put her hand to my face. my interview lasted about eight minutes and that was the worst interview I’ve ever had in my life and I’m glad I do not work for that company.

“So I had that job, then I had the next job, then the next one for 11 years and got fired, no education. Yeah I’m actually kinda pathetic and just need a job” 😂😂😂

A lot of people do interviews, very rarely I see someone who knows how to conduct one. They are reading out of a script which means they don't know what to ask or what to do with the answer. Second, most of them dont really read your resume, period. They use this question in order for you to bring them up to speed. Sometimes the interviewer is actually very adversarial, he wasn't you to fail a little bit, find something wrong, etc.

So essentially you're just humanizing the information. It's different hearing it from the mouth of the person than just reading it on a piece of paper. Plus it also reaffirms for them that you truly did all of those things on the paper.

If only my resume flowed like that...

Or how to professionally explain why you went PRN vs full time also due to family goals

My response is a variation on your first 'wrong'. "Yes, I expect you to need more detail. What in particular would you like to know about?" I'm at a stage where I can expect a recruiter to have read my CV and done some investigating before taking up their time and mine with an interview.

Could you make a video about how to talk about having not finished high school? It always comes up during job interviews and is rather hard to answer

@alissa6380

I think it depends on why you didn't finish? Like if you were struggling with classes you could say something like, "The heavily structured environment and focus on rote memorization wasn't conducive to me as a learner, but I thrive in self-directed study, such as when I learned x to y level in just z amount of time. In fact, this ability is part of why I believe I'm a great fit for the role, and since this company advertised a more fluid working environment, that's a big reason why I'm so excited for this potential opportunity." Or if you had external factors, such as health problems, an unstable living situation, or needing to take care of other family members, it might be more like, "There were some personal factors that prevented me from continuing with my education, and I had to shift my priorities; that's all well behind me now, but [here's some stuff I did during that period that shows responsibility, character, or special skills]. By the time I would've been able to go back to school, I was already [doing x, y and z] and after some deliberation, I decided it made more sense to continue in that direction instead of stopping my forward momentum. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get that diploma someday, but I believe I have enough skills and experience to not need it in my chosen career." If you just didn't want to go to school, you can still combine those answers into something that is relatively vague (i.e. "personal problems") but highlights that you have presumably matured and grown, and focuses on the experience you do have and what you intend to be like in the near-ish future. (You can even lean into it as a lifestyle choice, if you think a company might be receptive to it, like: "I know it's a little unusual, but actually, I disagree with schools as a concept, at least as they exist now. In my experience, they encourage conformity, instill unquestioning obedience to authority, and reject any opinions that haven't been approved by that authority. Those are not at all my values, and I had a hard time seeing any benefit to spending my time there, so when I got the opportunity to do x, I left. [Here's why I'm still an intelligent adult with an acceptable level of basic knoweldge], but most of those skills were acquired out in the real world when I did x, y, and z, so I don't really feel like I'm lacking anything. I think there are a lot of flaws in our education system, and I hope they start focusing on a, b, and c soon, but in the meantime I don't plan on going back, and I'm very happy with that decision.") Hope some of this was helpful/not too delayed! (And even if not, at least it was a fun little writing exercise. :D)

a resume is the only place its acceptable to brag about yourself with 0 limits except dont get cocky

I am the candidate who's answer to the interviewer would be the last one, patiently and passionately walking them through my resume, but in my head the answer I really want to give is the first one, including de "can you read or...?" bit. In fact, I think of companies as candidates to have me work for them, not the other way around, so anyone asking me to walk them through my resume comes to me as they're zero interested in me and wasting my time, the only worst would be any questions illegal to ask in muy country such as "do you have kids?". Value yourselves, the interview is not only for them to know if you fit their company, it is also for you to know if they fit your career plan and work life.

This question in an interview is crucial, especially for a job related to customer service. It also shows how you can help customers and how your easy and clear with your relevant communication

The only way it seems is that you just need to go through the process and in the interview focus more on articulating your response. Don't speak so fast and also attempt to say what you are going to say with a smile and upbeat. Don't look so dead inside. Focus more on your response and attempt to control your emotion while answering and after.

I’ve conducted hundreds of interviews, and I always ask this question after introducing myself and the role in more details. The purpose is two fold. First, getting a sense of the communication skills. It’s critical to me that candidates can walk me through something they know. Second, it gives them an opportunity to highlight parts that are critical to the role. Resumes are rarely tailored to the company and role, so candidates can now filter out what’s not important.

I agree, this is a great summary to get the conversation started. But expect the questions to get more into the details as you move forward. As a recruiter, I'm always amazed when someone asks me, "Do you have my resume there?" in a tone that implies I'm somehow not doing my job correctly. Yes, I have your resume, and I have read it. I have made notes. That's why I called you. This is your opportunity to tell me what isn't on the paper.

Based on what I have learned so far, recruiters like checking candidates' LinkedIn profiles as a "verification" method of your experience. If an individual list all their experiences on LinkedIn and made posts based on what they have done over the years, the recruiter will see that the candidate is likely not lying about their experience.
