I love your videos soooo much! You are so likeable and knowledgeable. Thank you for all of your hard work to help us! Awkward question, what does someone do when they never went to school but have mediocre skill levels and are looking for a job. I can’t boost up my skills on paper and I know I can always improve but when you need the job now and you didn’t do college and live in a smaller city what would you recommend??
I've been a quiet watcher for a few years. After 8 years of being a the same company, I've decided to look for better opportunities and this has been GOLD. Thank you Erin. I hope you realize how many people you have helped.
For people applying to jobs in Europe, it is important and good practice here to include a photo on your CV, there’s even countries that disregard your CV if it doesn’t include a photo (such as Germany and Spain)!!!!
In Germany I think it's slowly changing, so it's more acceptable to leave out a picture. But standard procedure is still to have a professional picture:|
OH! MY! GOSH! You, Miss Lady, are IN-credible! What incredible and practical information. I've been alive since dirt was discovered and have never been told so much information in one 'conversation'! You my new favorite candidate resource! Thank YOU!!!
I liked your way how you talk, the positive energy and the sense of humor you have. Plus to all of that I got what I need to know to enhance my resume. Thank you so much and Great Job!👏🙌
I'm so glad that my current resume follows almost all your points! It's a killer resume and has received many compliments by job advisors and recruiters. It's bright and eye catching but very clear to read (I'm an illustrator so I believe it should have some creative flare) One thing I dropped from the working experience section is the exact dates/months of each experience. As a creative alot of jobs were contract based or just wouldn't work out very well, so I had to quit. Resulting in having months-long gaps in my resume where I was unemployed. It attracted attention in many interviews, were I had to explain myself and say that I worked as freelancer in between, so the recruiter wouldn't think that I drop jobs all the time, when in reality I wasn't. So now I only have the year and all the experience, projects etc I've done within the year as independent sections. Seems to work quite well as no one has questioned me since and it looks very nicely organised and full.
This is one of the most informative, straight to the point, “all in one” videos about creating a resume I’ve ever watched! And I’ve watched a lot!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
I love all of these tips but one thing that frustrates me is that every career coach type youtuber always gives the same advice and it just doesn't apply to people like me. They all say to add figures/numbers/stats and I'm an administrative assistant. I DON'T HAVE that type of info to include in my resume. There were no sales, no increased profits, no projects, etc. And the types of jobs I'm applying to aren't looking for things like that, they're looking for what I've done. Can you please make a video for people in my situation where the whole resume is basically a list of job duties? I really needs some guidance on how to make those bullet points sound better, be more concise, be more coherent, all of that. Thank you so much for all that you do!
What do you do as administrative assistant? Do you send two to seven emails per day? Do you draft, edit and send 5 to 10 emails per day? Do you update financial reports for each of the staff or customers? How many? Do you manage the schedules of Staff members? How many? Do you plan and manage any events? How many per month? In my experience of being an administrative assistant, there is always something that is quantifiable.
I get really frustrated because most of my experience for the jobs I am looking for comes from 4 plus years ago. I have had "filler" jobs since then to pay the bills. But if I leave out my recent jobs it looks like I haven't worked in years! So I have no idea how to include all of this without having a 2 page resume. Ugh.
@@alexp2915 I shifted to a non corporate field .... fitness trainer ( gym ), i already have been going to the gym for a few years and got a couple of courses for it and that's it, getting a job in such careers is kinda easy ( no online applications and that type of BS )
@@alexp2915 I shifted to another non corporate career ( fitness trainer ), i have been going to the gym for a few years and got some courses for it and that's it, getting a job in non corporate fields is much easier ( no online applications )
@@alexp2915 I just gave up on the corporate world and shifted my career to a non corporate field to become a Fitness Trainer, i have been going to the gym for a couple of years and love it so i tried taking some short courses and went for it, getting jobs in non corporate fields is pretty easy as there's usually no screening or meetings or online applications and ATS you just go talk to the manager or owner and get the job if they see your potential, this also applies to most trades like plumbing and carpenting etc it's also easy to get jobs in such trades and the pay is actually pretty good.
I have 2 questions... How do you list an incomplete degree . qualification and the how do you explain / justify having been fired from a job at no fault of your own?
I did the same, just write the yrs you did do and say not completed. As for been fired, everyone goes through it, just dont make to many excuses 1 liner and be honest. if you go on and on about it they wont call you back, and id recommend admit the mistake too. Unless of course you swiped a few $$$$$ from the till, cant help
Hi there! I’m an autistic job seeker and, like many autistic people, have autistic family members- meaning they couldn’t help me develop these soft job search skills, either. I’ve been using your videos for a Few months now to learn the lingo and get in the right social posture to apply for jobs. I appreciate your help!
Finally a CV-related video that doesn't make me bored😁 Thank you so much Erin it's really amazing that I found your channel today. I love your videos!❤
Erin aside for the fact that this video is super helpful, thanks for that! You honestly are incredible at show casing your personality on camera, I've never seen anyone do it this well!
One thing that conflicts. You said make your resume ATS friendly, but in your thumbnail the resume has multiple columns. I've been told that's a NO NO from multiple recruiters.
Thank you for creating this video. I almost paid someone to rewrite my resume! I didn’t want it rewritten because I wanted it to be organic yet professional and acceptable. With your videos and the resource links you provided I am able to write my own resume with confidence. Thank You!
You are so great! Thank you for your advice. I’ve been trying to switch my career and have gotten nothing. This is so helpful and I’m going to use your tips! Thank you
Tell me about the fancy resume writers I was so desperate I paid 500. And they left out all of my skills and I got nowhere. I received more contacts when I edited myself so no more pro resume writers for me . This was really helpful and I will be using most of these points ! some I already have used but still no job in almost a year! Love your personality and great tips! Fingers crossed 🤞
Yay🎉🎉!! So glad I found you I’m applying for a new job but it’s been forever since I’ve done a resume. Thank you for all the help and advice! I was about to submit my own resume today, but glad ai searched you up first!
a huge aspect of 17-25 was shrouded in dissociative episodes so it is literally traumatic for me to recall my job history, but i am going to finish my degree and im trying to get a job. i feel like i have to just take anything at this point though. im thankful im finally able to begin healing and get justice.
Thanks for this! Took some of those tips and worked on my resume during the video I was surprised how some simple changes made it look 10 times better!
Erin! Thank you so much ❤ I took notes on your video, I’m trying to get a job with the state 🤞 hopefully once I revamp my resume right now it’s going to help me get an interview and a J.O.B! 😊
I thought I was good at making CVs until I saw this video. I have never heard of the skill focused CV before, that was a great tip. Thanks for sharing your knowledge free.
I have an insane design on my CV, and probably more information than it should have, I will simplify it and follow your advice, I saw 2 more videos before this one, but I think you're giving the best tips! My native language is Spanish but I want to do it in Spanish and English, so I will download grammarly, and then ask some native English speaker to check it out because I don't know how good grammarly really is for someone who is not native in a language haha! Thanks for the tips!
Great advice! I'm currently doing my work term at the end of my education to graduate and I'll be job hunting for my permanent position in June. I'll have to come back to this later and prepare my stuff! I definitely committed the sin of sending out the same resume to everyone when searching for the work term 😅 So far I've interviewed with 3 places and they all wanted me, but none were the generic resume put out on Indeed, so point definitely taken. My interviews all came from finding out about an opportunity some other way and contacting them directly.
ngl it's really funny how the title of the video is "how to make an amazing resume for free in 2024" and when you click on the link in the description you have to purchase the guide. this is just an observation btw. nothing wrong with that i just thought it was ironic
Great video! I purchased that complete guide! One question is around the 1 page. I’ve had over 12 years of experience and 6 roles, near impossible to fit on one page. Is a second page okay in this situation?
It's so funny because I just had to rush my resume few days ago (spent literally 3 hours on a resume and a cover letter). I was hoping someone would tell me that it's all okay because DEAR LORD I WROTE "01st February" ON THERE. And you're here, telling me I had all the good sections and now I have to thank myself for actually deleted the phrase "detail-oriented" lol.
17:20. Super helpful content! Q: What is a CV vs resume? I’m a pharmacist. How far back do you go? Should I put my college hospital volunteering on my CV?! Jk. But no really.
What a remarkable video and lady...... I am tired from BABY monitoring/duty and its 1:00 AM ( mind you i use to sleep at 10:30... on the dot)... But funny thing, this video was not boring and difficult to grasp. Bravo... Going back to work force after 3 months on Parental Leave...
thank you for the tips, Erin! I am about to graduate with a bachelor's, but I have been applying to jobs for months. I will use these tips to rewrite my resume and hope to get a job!
Thank you so much for this! I have a specific question about what scientists should do about their publications on their resume. If you know I would greatly appreciate the help on this one!
I subscribed ... this was my 1st vid. super dope person! love ya energy. thanks for the FREE gems. I laughed @ myself & my resume. I have a ton of work to RE do. lol Thank you! Im sharing this with my tribe.
Almost 50 here in a new state and finding it "impossible" to get an interview, my resume style was from college 3/4 a lifetime ago...and so pondered on how to update what is pretty good but could be better and adaptable to the ATS systems... It just needs a shuffle!not a whole dance mind you, just a shuffle, and will give it a go... let's see how it works. will be back to tell the story
I loved your video. It was detailed and informative without the frustration of not understanding what was being presented. The links were a great help. I am a teacher looking for a second job (that is not necessarily a teaching one and this video gave me a better lead on how to restructure my current resume.) Thank you.
I have recently found your channel and it has been super helpful. I have been looking for more of a long term career and it has proven to be a bit harder than I had though. I loved the tips in this video and I'm going to give my resume a makover. I'm hoping with your tips that I can find my "forever" job and finally find the perfect fit.
If you've only been working for a couple of years to maybe 20 years with only a couple of job changes, then sure, one page. I've been working for 30 years in a profession where it is 100% normal to be a contract employee for a few months to a few years. Even cutting it down to just the past 20 years is two pages. If I only show the past 10 years, I still have to leave things off and I get people asking why I only started working 10 years ago.
When transitioning from academia to industry for data analyst roles, which is more important for a one-page resume: including a summary highlighting my analytical skills or focusing on projects and work experience directly related to data analysis?
I am about to compose my resume and this is very helpful. I would love it also if you could talk about writing a resume for smn without relevant experience or a resume for academic/research jobs, like for a phd or postdoc.
You make this so clear to me, specially because I moved countries so I did not know how to place my past experience as I do not have relevant experience for the jobs I am applying to, omg why I did not watch this earlier. lol.. thank you
I love these idea’s definitely the brain dump, but the issue I’m having is pivoting to health another industry as a digital marketer who worked in the entertainment, business and fashion industries. PS: the soda player examples where you want a coke vs the player with the sprite is a prefect examples of how my resume looks like 😂😂 thank you
@AdviceWithErin Hey Erin! Thanks so much for this video. You had said in the video that the templates you have are free but I can't find it. The link of the "How to Make a Really Good Resume" on your website with the resume template says it costs money. Am I mistaking a different template that you are describing?
Hwy Erin , I love your videos and it really helps me a lot . And I've been dealing with a toxic workplace and toxic coworkers . I would really appreciate if you would make some videos on how to deal with toxic co workers and build more boundaries with your boss who tries to overstep and texts you at night . Thankyou
THE DESIGN PART. I feel like many creatives would not agree but, personally, I find the "creative resume" to be a total scam. A resume is a document. It is supposed to be simple and straightforward. Portfolio is where you find the showcase of creative skills!
At 43 with a multitude of career experiences due to the popularity of corporate layoffs and preferential high turn over company policies, i find this video useless. I dream of the day when companies apply to people for help. Instead of eliminating hiring managers and recruiters in favor of AI. Getting a job in the last 15 years is complete BS.
I tried the functional resume some years ago, but with 30 years of experience and a lot of different skills (my industry is tech), it became very unwieldy, difficult to specialise for particular role-types and it requires a recruiter that is themselves ahead of the game, with a brain between their ears, and that is a small minority - let alone the hiring team in the end-client - it's a good mental exercise to do and worth it, and for some it will work in getting a job. Also, if you listen to lots of other CV advice out there, where they say don't list what you did, but what you achieved, the functional model doesn't work very well...
In my 11 years of carrer and after 5 jobs that (each of the job i got from my previous job with some one i met and he offered me a job based on performance. And my first job was by walking in a company and asked them for a job). I have never received a call from any firm i applied in 11 years. I have used techniques from Austin Belcak. Jeff Su and what what not. I just want to add one last thing all HR and Recruiters suck at their job.
Are you looking for a new job!? ❤
Yes!
I love your videos soooo much! You are so likeable and knowledgeable. Thank you for all of your hard work to help us! Awkward question, what does someone do when they never went to school but have mediocre skill levels and are looking for a job.

Absolutely!!
A light year is a distance not period of time
Yes
I used your older resume tutorial and lots of your interview tips and just got myself a promotion! Thanks for the help Erin! ❤
I've been a quiet watcher for a few years. After 8 years of being a the same company, I've decided to look for better opportunities and this has been GOLD. Thank you Erin. I hope you realize how many people you have helped.
Wow 🥹
How did it go?
imagine pouring your heart out to write a resume only to learn that hr people only spends 7 secs to look at it. ridiculous
4 - 6 sec only not even 7 seconds.
Sometimes they don’t even look at it a lot of companies use AI now
More scary thing is that ai is rejecting you for no reason 🎉
what do you expect?
@@Bramon83 He wanted to write a biography and expect tears and an award. World is cruel, @earllangcay, we adapt. Save the speech to the interview!
Perfect timing! Tomorrow i am about to submit my resume to a company which my mentor suggested to work with. Guess it's just my lucky day :D thanks!
Go for it! You can do this!

For people applying to jobs in Europe, it is important and good practice here to include a photo on your CV, there’s even countries that disregard your CV if it doesn’t include a photo (such as Germany and Spain)!!!!

Thank you for the tip! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Great advice. Totally true. Most recruiters write it on the job description.
Interesting! In Ireland including a photo in your CV is discouraged due to potential for bias/discrimination.
@@sheabutterandrosesI would say more sad than interesting because in a lot of countries it is encouraged for the same reason
Erin, your videos have been very helpful and inspirational in my job search. I landed my Dream Remote Internship this year! Keep up the great work!!
I cannot express to you how helpful and motivating you have been for me. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad to hear that!! ❤

You have no idea how much I needed this, Erin! Can't wait to follow your tips and let you know when I've landed a perfect match! Thank you SO much.
I liked your way how you talk, the positive energy and the sense of humor you have. Plus to all of that I got what I need to know to enhance my resume. Thank you so much and Great Job!👏🙌

I'm so glad that my current resume follows almost all your points! It's a killer resume and has received many compliments by job advisors and recruiters. It's bright and eye catching but very clear to read (I'm an illustrator so I believe it should have some creative flare)
One thing I dropped from the working experience section is the exact dates/months of each experience. As a creative alot of jobs were contract based or just wouldn't work out very well, so I had to quit. Resulting in having months-long gaps in my resume where I was unemployed. It attracted attention in many interviews, were I had to explain myself and say that I worked as freelancer in between, so the recruiter wouldn't think that I drop jobs all the time, when in reality I wasn't.
So now I only have the year and all the experience, projects etc I've done within the year as independent sections. Seems to work quite well as no one has questioned me since and it looks very nicely organised and full.

I love all of these tips but one thing that frustrates me is that every career coach type youtuber always gives the same advice and it just doesn't apply to people like me. They all say to add figures/numbers/stats and I'm an administrative assistant. I DON'T HAVE that type of info to include in my resume. There were no sales, no increased profits, no projects, etc. And the types of jobs I'm applying to aren't looking for things like that, they're looking for what I've done. Can you please make a video for people in my situation where the whole resume is basically a list of job duties? I really needs some guidance on how to make those bullet points sound better, be more concise, be more coherent, all of that. Thank you so much for all that you do!
I feel the same way
Instead of bullet point make a few sentences using the bullet points and use verbiage from the job duties/requirements of job you are applying for
What do you do as administrative assistant? Do you send two to seven emails per day? Do you draft, edit and send 5 to 10 emails per day?
Do you update financial reports for each of the staff or customers? How many?
Do you manage the schedules of Staff members? How many?
Do you plan and manage any events? How many per month?
In my experience of being an administrative assistant, there is always something that is quantifiable.
What are the duties and what is the volume (calls/emails per day, number of people you support, etc.)?
Saying the same things yes, and over exaggerating
I get really frustrated because most of my experience for the jobs I am looking for comes from 4 plus years ago. I have had "filler" jobs since then to pay the bills. But if I leave out my recent jobs it looks like I haven't worked in years! So I have no idea how to include all of this without having a 2 page resume. Ugh.
Do a functional resume like she said. Highlight your skills and then just list all of the jobs you have had underneath.
@@victoriasegundo5652 Thank you! For some reason I always thought it was some kind of rule you had to list all the duties for every job lol
Same as my husband. I really want to help him
Thank you, Erin. I hope you will do even more about specifics of resume writing in the future. Thank you ❤😊
That Coke example was a really good explanation of why you should tailor your resume!

I am a teacher looking for a second job (that is not necessarily a teaching one and this video gave me a better lead on how to restructure my current resume.) Thank you.
Hey did you get your resume ??
Hey did you get your resume ??
Hi Erin! This video was so helpful! Feeling so much more confident in getting this tackled! Thank you!
I have recently found your channel and it has been super helpful. I have been looking for more of a long term career and it has proven to be a bit harder than I had though. I loved the tips in this video and I'm going to give my resume a makover. I'm hoping with your tips that I can find my "forever" job and finally find the perfect fit.
Hi Erin, I couldn't be more thankful for the content you post ❤ could you also do one on building a portfolio ?
Love and support ❣️
okay but HOW do I fit everything in just one page?? Like, even the templates I find don't have everything I want to put in!
Just one thing in this video, I would say apply to Jobs/ Industry you are most comfortable with and you resume will be already tailored.
Thank you for your tips. I am energized by your charisma to work on my resume.
Thank you. I need this. My resume has generated zero interest online. I've resorted to knocking on doors and cold-calling random companies.
That's amazing! I really appreciate you sharing this.
You are beautiful, it was very pleasant to hear a nice voice and precise English unlike some its hard to understand. Great Video Erin.
Thank you for posting this!! Makes life a bit easier.🥰
“Ya gots to trust me.” 😂😂 Thank you for this video! Very informative! So many great tips.
If you've only been working for a couple of years to maybe 20 years with only a couple of job changes, then sure, one page. I've been working for 30 years in a profession where it is 100% normal to be a contract employee for a few months to a few years. Even cutting it down to just the past 20 years is two pages. If I only show the past 10 years, I still have to leave things off and I get people asking why I only started working 10 years ago.
Thank you for this video Erin. I was fixing to pay the money for a resume writer.
Solid advice - eager to build a new resume to see how it goes!
Thanks Erin! I'm all fired up to get that new job now!
When transitioning from academia to industry for data analyst roles, which is more important for a one-page resume: including a summary highlighting my analytical skills or focusing on projects and work experience directly related to data analysis?
I wish I had heard about this sooner; it's fantastic!
I am about to compose my resume and this is very helpful. I would love it also if you could talk about writing a resume for smn without relevant experience or a resume for academic/research jobs, like for a phd or postdoc.
You make this so clear to me, specially because I moved countries so I did not know how to place my past experience as I do not have relevant experience for the jobs I am applying to, omg why I did not watch this earlier. lol.. thank you
I love these idea’s definitely the brain dump, but the issue I’m having is pivoting to health another industry as a digital marketer who worked in the entertainment, business and fashion industries.
PS: the soda player examples where you want a coke vs the player with the sprite is a prefect examples of how my resume looks like 😂😂 thank you
@AdviceWithErin Hey Erin! Thanks so much for this video. You had said in the video that the templates you have are free but I can't find it. The link of the "How to Make a Really Good Resume" on your website with the resume template says it costs money. Am I mistaking a different template that you are describing?
I love the Office cut scenes. This is definitely getting my like
Thank you, Erin! Great stuff. I need all the help I can get. lol
Hwy Erin , I love your videos and it really helps me a lot . And I've been dealing with a toxic workplace and toxic coworkers . I would really appreciate if you would make some videos on how to deal with toxic co workers and build more boundaries with your boss who tries to overstep and texts you at night . Thankyou
This is a game changer, thank you for sharing!
THE DESIGN PART. I feel like many creatives would not agree but, personally, I find the "creative resume" to be a total scam. A resume is a document. It is supposed to be simple and straightforward. Portfolio is where you find the showcase of creative skills!
@AdviceWithErin Thank you for this wonderful video ❤
Erin thanks for this video. I am going to try everything you mentioned right now! I will let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!
This is so useful, I can't believe I didn't know about it!
I just found your channel and I love it this is what I need now!. Subscribed
I have networking meetings with the head of the company. How do I make the most of this opportunity?
At 43 with a multitude of career experiences due to the popularity of corporate layoffs and preferential high turn over company policies, i find this video useless. I dream of the day when companies apply to people for help. Instead of eliminating hiring managers and recruiters in favor of AI. Getting a job in the last 15 years is complete BS.
Thanks for your knowledge. Subbed)
I tried the functional resume some years ago, but with 30 years of experience and a lot of different skills (my industry is tech), it became very unwieldy, difficult to specialise for particular role-types and it requires a recruiter that is themselves ahead of the game, with a brain between their ears, and that is a small minority - let alone the hiring team in the end-client - it's a good mental exercise to do and worth it, and for some it will work in getting a job. Also, if you listen to lots of other CV advice out there, where they say don't list what you did, but what you achieved, the functional model doesn't work very well...
In my 11 years of carrer and after 5 jobs that (each of the job i got from my previous job with some one i met and he offered me a job based on performance. And my first job was by walking in a company and asked them for a job).
I have never received a call from any firm i applied in 11 years. I have used techniques from Austin Belcak. Jeff Su and what what not. I just want to add one last thing all HR and Recruiters suck at their job.
