    Hey Andrew! about 4.5 years ago your coaching and content helped me get the job in a different state that I dreamed about! Now it is time to move and relocate back to California. I am again enrolled into your program and wanted to thank you for all the efforts you put out here.
    I would appreciate if in your next content videos you could touch such topics/pains as following:
    1. LOCATION details on RESUME when I work in one state and needing to job search in another state while still being employed?
    2. LINKEDIN Profile adjustment to a new RSEUME and NEW LOCATION desired?
    3. ABILITY TO CONSOLIDATE accomplishments aligned with dream job to shape up my VALUE?
    Thank you again, you are awesome! Hoping to see more of the topics described above or some of them in near future. Take care!

    I love this! As a research and development professional, I’m wondering how this template is modified when organizing a CV. My assumption would be that the first three sections remain the same (career profile, career highlights, and professional experience). Then the rest goes at the end (funded research, publications, awards/honors, classes taught, etc). Is that a correct assumption?

    • @andylacivita
      @andylacivita  9 днів тому +1

      You need to make your accomplishments to where you want to go. That means you need to identify what accomplishments and skill sets and traits they seek in your future career. Look back at your work history and extract, the analogous accomplishments and skill sets. There are several steps you can go through to do this, which are too complicated to explain in a quick response here. However, if you check out my resume writing playlist and note the exercises where you are identifying top goals for your future employer, the team you’ll be on, and your position, you’ll get started in the right direction. Good luck!

    Andy, I'm cooking with gas revamping my resume and my Tesla (that I was hoping to buy when I get this new job) just hit a dang wall!! ANDY!! I am an award-winning healthcare account manager for multiple fortune 500 companies. However, when my dad was sick with Alzheimer's, I moved back to my small town usa, and since I am not independently wealthy, worked at a couple of local businesses. (pickings were slim)
    My question is, if I had two part-time positions from 2016 to 2020 (one was at a car dealership - even sold a car or two by accident & the other was a customer service position in a plant). how do I explain this crap!!!
    These two positions were Jan of 2016 to July 2017 at the car place, and from March 18 to Jan 20 at the plant. I have NO idea I can't just leave it off because it's a GAP, GAP, GAP!!! I'm so screwed and I need ANDY!

    Hi Andy,
    Love all your videos, but this one really hit a home run for me. I learned lot of vital things that I can use to tweak my resume.
    I have a quick question: I understand that we need to aim for a 2-page resume, but I have 25+ years of experience, with 9 employers. If I list down the details, as instructed in your template, my section on Professional Experience is becoming rather long (>1 page). Do I need to spell out all the 9 employers from way back, or can I just show my last 15 years of experience with 3 employers?
    Appreciate your guidance. Thank you very much!!

    I have a question:
    After working at my current job for over 8 months, I am being interviewed for a different position at my current workplace. Before the 2nd interview, HR asked me to notify my supervisor about this. I am not sure at this point if I have a chance, as it's been a week and they say they keep interviewing candidates.
    But was it reasonable to already notify my supervisor about this? I feel that it puts me in an awkward position that makes my supervisor think I am looking for another position/job, and that's not something I'd like anyone to know until it's official.

From last few months, I have been looking for a job from India for US/UK/Middle East. I had applied through various job portals (indeed / naukrigulf, etc.) and direct companies websites too and even passed some assessment test also, but still my application rejected at all times.

      Elizabeth! Great question. Some countries very much prefer to have a picture on your résumé. For example, in Germany, it’s appropriate. If you are in the United States where I live, I would completely avoid putting a picture on your résumé unless you are interviewing to be a model.

      @@andylacivita do you believe putting pictures on resumes will be a "thing" in the US within the next few years? I've seen so many trends over the years in my career none of which were as stinking awful as the "BRAG BOOK" s#*% that was going on around 2011ish. How stupid was that???
