I am sorry for writing this late. I am currently 6 months into the role that I’ve applied using your template and inputs. I totally forgot that i used your template until a friend of mine asked me about my template! UA-cam resume and your face came up lol I was like ,yess it was her! I did get two job offers last October and this was a shocker after 2years of graduating and not finding a job! Also, received these offers a week before my trip to Europe! Just know I did celebrate hard in Europe! I listened to everything you said and reading my resume now…I killed that shit! LOL Thank you soooo much
Thank you @professorheatheraustin I started searching other opportunities in Jan. 2022. In March of 2022. I found your videos and used your template. Your tips helped me land multiple interviews and ultimately my current job. I have referred friends and family to your page. I know they will not be disappointed. Till this day you have new tips to revive different part of my resume.
SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE’S TALKING ABOUT!! I applied for jobs 6 jobs yesterday using her template and out of the 6, 1 of them want to interview me! Thank you so much!!! ❤❤️❤️
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin will do! I've stopped applying for jobs at the moment to focus on scholarships. When I get back around it I'll let you know :)
@@sherriebrown5130 You may be right. But this was my first resume. I've only worked for one place with 5 months of experience and I live in NYC. My brother who has more experience than me working only got ringed once. I got ringed 3 more times after I made this comment and I believe it's because of her help
I am looking to get into the IT/Tech field with little to no experience in that field. I do currently work for a tech company but my current job is more customer service based. Before that position I did hardware repair on some video video equipment. I feel like that would be laughed at. I am about to start taking some IT certifications thought but that could be an1-2 years from now before i have several of those. Man, this is stressing me out. Awesome video though Heather!
Hello! I love your videos. I never received the resume template. It's not in my spam or junk folder either. I tried a few times to get it too. Is there another place I can access it? Thank you!
Hi there! Great question. It may not be the best way to describe an eight-year hiatus from employment on your resume or during a job interview. This type of language may not be professional and could raise questions or concerns for potential employers. Instead, it would be better to describe the period as a personal leave of absence or a break in employment. If necessary, you can provide a brief explanation for the time off, such as for personal or family reasons, but avoid getting into too much detail unless asked. The goal is to present a clear and concise picture of your work history to potential employers. Hope this helps!
It’s the same with you. You don’t care about the company and it’s owner but you expect them to pay you 🙄 It’s exchange - work, skills for money. Friends and family you build after work ;)
Professor Austin, I used the last template you provided with great results. On every job I applied I got an interview. Finally, on the third interview, I got a job offer with an increase!! Thank you so much for these great informative videos and templates!!! I am sharing these videos with all my friends and family!
This is an internal move to a different department. I start on Monday February 7th. My new Manager commented that he liked how I quantified the results in my resume. The recruiter told me I wasn't supposed to get an increase but they liked me so much, both recruiters pushed for a 5% increase which all the Managers agreed on. That doesn't include the increase in March for merit. My resume was stellar! Thanks again!!
Your résumé writing template is great!! I followed the template from 2020 and I’ve been interviewed and hired for 2 different positions in 2021. My current job provided a better benefits package with a pay increase!
I’m about to apply to a temp agency for office work, I’ve never worked in office space before. So what would I use for a general resume? Since I don’t even know what position I would be applying for.
Thank you professor for sharing so many great details I have not resubmitted my résumé in over 14 years so this really helped me to gain insight on what is needed and how things have changed.
Can you do a video about sending a follow up email? Loving all the other videos, but would like some tips for when is a good time and what things to say if you want to send a follow up email?
Wow! Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in your interviews. Would you mind if I share your success with others? If so, do you have a headshot you could send me at heather@professoraustin.com
So every time I apply to a job you think I should adjust my resume? And how do you suppose I should be able to keep track of what was said to nearly 1000 plus companies I apply to? This is preposterous information.
This is the most amazing job hiring relating video I've ever watched these days. Thanks so much for your detailed guidance and explanation to each step! Currently working on writing my resume and feeling confident and having more directions after watching this video.
👎 I would say do not give this person your email address. She Lures you n with an offer of a Resume template and then takes you to her page where she says "But wait, all you have to do is purchase my $197 package". Bait and swith is very unethical.
I can attest to the content of this video and the important points, it's pretty spot on. The one thing that other "resume tips" seems to get the wrong idea is the point that you need to create a "good looking" resume from a design perspective. And as someone who has been working as a HR lead, recruiter and Project Manager for the past 10 years and I have taken care of well over 100 resumes personally and oversees over 5000 applicants over my entire career on multiple different companies is to tell you how wrong this is. I can assure you, unless you're applying for a designer/artist position, no HR will ever give a single crap about the design of your resume. Quite infact, a "pretty" looking resume gives out red flags if you don't do the contents properly, because if that's the case it may further emphasizes that you don't have anything to offer in relation to the job so you had to "compensate" it with pretty designs. And as Heather mentioned, your employment, career and skills summary in a paragraph or two on the header is about the single most important thing you can put on your summary, bar none. No HR will ever read everything everytime when we have dozens or hundreds of resumes on our desk or email. We look at the header and short list it. And we read the whole thing LATER. Also, yes, quantify, summarize and describe the results of your experiences and achievements. Be confident, and list EVERYTHING that you deem appropriate to put on a resume. Have designed a website for your gaming community? write that down, been a reddit moderator with 100k+ members? write that down. It matters. A lot of people seems to think non-professional experiences don't matter for job applications. They are WRONG. I don't know you, the HR people don't know you, these small bits of achivements goes a long way of letting us know you more. And be confident, no company will ever hire someone who does not believe in themselves.
Professor Austin, thank you for the resume advise. Both times I used my revised resume based on your advise it worked. Note: Color copy made it pop harder I’m sure. The job I chose I submitted the resume Wednesday night, called by 9am Thursday to interview Friday and given the job on the spot and in-process Tuesday. Thank you very much.
How do you get this to reflect when job postings want you to fill out an application through their own user interface that does not allow a resume to be sent?
Thanks for this! My resume format that I'm using was actually the same as when I graduated on 2017. I just realized that I have so much unnecessary sections that doesn't need anymore
tried to download your "free" resume template and all it did was take me to a site where i couldn't download it unless i downloaded something else with my credit card info attached.
Hi! The template should go directly to your inbox. If you don't see it, please me and my team at heather@professoraustin.com and we'll make sure you get it. Thanks!
I totally agree with including all this great stuff in a resume to sell yourself to employers. The question is HOW DO YOU FIT THAT ALL ON ONE PAGE LEGIBLY.
Worst part of writing a resume is trying to remember what I have been doing the last 10 years. Moving from task to task to project to task after completion mostly resulted in forgetting the good result..
🥉🏆 Resume block? Uncertainty? Over+thinking it? Writer block? Over it? Facings a new career commitment, a side hustle and Gig work - So 3 Resumes. Uggh! Heather Austin saved me. Somehow simplifies thee process. To a thorough Resume that works! Cear, ,concise. She made it click for me. No more plodding 30 minute videos.. Heather zips eight along,. Get the template.! Thanks Heather!
Hello! I'm so happy to hear the video helped you with your resume. I'm also happy you enjoyed the free template. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching. Keep me posted for when you land your next job. I'm excited for you.
Clicked the link below to "grab my free resume template" and repeatedly hit the "Send It To Me" green tile and all I got was a series of pop ups telling me who "grabbed" their free download. Perhaps it's a clandestine way of getting me to subscribe. MISSION FAILED.
I've been using her videos in my classroom the last few years to help students write better resumes (as sometimes it's important for them to hear other voices besides mine). She does a great job breaking everything down to simple terms and addresses the do's and don'ts while providing great content for viewers.
I'm thrilled to hear you're using my videos in you classroom. Hopefully you're students are writing stellar resumes because of what they're learning. :)
Thank you so much for the resume template and awesome video! I used your template and it got me a few interviews so far! It’s been a month since I began my job search since finishing college :)
Hello, alot of the time I hear that employers highly encourage if not require a resume that is ONE page. The template + info in the video make it so that it is at least 2 pages if not more with everything that is said. How should I go about making it one page and know what things to keep?
Hi there! When including your career record on your resume, focus on highlighting your relevant training and qualifications from the cabin crew training school you recently completed. Mention any certifications or licenses you are in the process of obtaining. Additionally, showcase any previous work experience or transferable skills that are relevant to the cabin crew role, such as customer service, communication, problem-solving, or teamwork skills. Tailor your resume to the specific job you are applying for and emphasize the skills and qualifications that align with the requirements of the cabin crew position. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
Absolutely, consider highlighting your accomplishments and quantifying your impact in your previous roles. Tailor your resume for remote work by emphasizing skills like self-motivation, communication, and familiarity with remote tools. Research each company and customize your application to match their needs. Best of luck in your search!
Was waiting for the this template eagerly Austin mam. Glad 😊 please do bring more templates for every year. ❤ love to be a part of this channel In this pandemic you are the best teacher. Where many lost their jobs at last depending on skills matters more than degree. 😇
Hello! So happy to hear you grabbed the new template. A lot has changed in the job market in the past few years. My team and I are constantly evaluating the market and trying to help job seekers stay on top. Thanks for watching!
Some great advice no doubt, but there were also some confusingly contradictory points that made me less confident than I was going into the video. For example, how are we supposed to make it customizable but also use your template and then avoid charts and tables when that's basically what a resume is. I don't know, I'll just make it good and hopefully I'll be fine. I'm mostly going to just take the good parts and use the template but in my own way? Great organization advise for formatting and stuff.
awesome video! Just a question about the title in the resume. What if you're making a career switch and applying for jobs that you don't have direct experience in but do have transerrable skills. for example, if I'm appyling for a project manager position but have never held that title, is it still okay to put Project Manager as my title in the resume when applying?
I owned a very business for about 25 years. It folded in 2020. Should I reveal that I was the business owner or should i treat it as if I worked there .. .since I need to work for someone else.
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about your business in 2020. When discussing your past experience, it's okay to mention that you were the owner. Being a business owner for 25 years means you've accumulated a wealth of skills and knowledge. Employers can view this as a testament to your leadership, resilience, and versatility. Just be prepared to articulate the transferrable skills you've gained and how they can benefit your potential new employer. Whether you frame it as being an owner or as someone who worked there, the key is to emphasize the value you can bring to a new role based on your extensive experience. Hope this helps!
Thank you kind Heather. Your reply is much more than expected..I switched to your template and the "less is more" text approach. I have over 100 resumes floating 8 hours a day for 3 months. one interview. It's tough out here ma'am
Hello I am new to your channel I'm reaching out because I'm in the process of transitioning from a career in medicine, where I've been a Physician Assistant for over two decades. My work experience has been primarily in healthcare, and I'm now looking to pivot into a different field. I've recently tried applying for case manager positions, but unfortunately, I haven't had much luck in securing employment in this new direction. I would greatly appreciate any information, advice, or guidance you could offer to help me with this career transition.❤😊 Thank you
Hello and welcome to my channel! Transitioning from a long-standing career can indeed be challenging, but it's absolutely possible. With your background as a Physician Assistant, you have a wealth of skills that can be valuable in many fields, including case management. It's all about positioning these skills in the right way. I recommend starting by tailoring your resume to highlight transferable skills from healthcare to case management. Consider skills like patient coordination, communication, and problem-solving, which are crucial in both fields. Also, my toolkit has resources and templates that might be beneficial for someone in your situation. It's designed to guide job seekers through career changes. Remember, networking is invaluable. Connect with professionals in the field you're aiming for, and gather insights about what they're looking for in candidates. Stay persistent and positive! Best wishes on your career transition! ❤😊
Thanks professor I'm currently a MBA student from a tier 2 college in india today I got full clarity on how to write professional resume but I have no job experience basically I'm a fresher I did Operations internship with a housing company but they didnt provide me any certificate can you please make a video on how to create a resume for new college grads and people with no experience at all
I put my info in to get the free template, and neither button will go on to the next page or download it. I tried a few times. I finally work when I came back to it. First time I just kept clicking the button and nothing happened. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Absolutely! List the company name first, then each role underneath in reverse chronological order, with dates and key achievements for each position. This showcases your progression and highlights your accomplishments at each level. Best of luck! 🌟
Thanks for the info. Can you tell whether we should match the resume with a complete job posting, including about the organization, job duties, responsibilities, skills, benefits, etc.? or just responsibilities and skills enough?
Thanks for this video, Heather. Very good content. Ideas for future videos include: thoughts on the value of online portfolios, how to find contract-only positions/agencies hiring for corporations
Hi, Professor Austin. I am improving my CV with the template. May I ask if it means I can just skip some of my past experience and only keep the most recent experience?
I'm using your template, but my resume is 2 or 3 pages long, even if I cut out unnecessary bullets while still listing job history to show consistency. Should I switch templates?
Worked in law enforcement for 15+ years. Struggling with what to actually put on the resume in order to appeal to the company. My interest is gearing more towards social justice, mental health etc.
So do you actually send the resume template free? Because I tried to get it from your site with two different e-mail addresses and all I got was a "progress bar" indicating that the e-mail was "80% done being sent" and a page full of links where I could buy things from you. I don't want to buy things from you, I wanted the template you were offering. It's been hours since I attempted to get the template and nothing has arrived. Don't advertise giving something for free if there's a condition like a required purchase.
Hi there! Yes, the template should go directly to your inbox. If you still don't see it, please email me at heather@professoraustin.com and my team will send it to you. The thank you page is an offer for The Career Advancement Toolkit. This is optional. It's for those that want more in-depth training and help with their job search. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
What if you are not a manager in, let's say, Customer Service but have been in the field for a short time. Or what if you've had dealings with customers for 20+ years but, in different jobs? How do you list your 3 key skills and what are the proper words for the career objective sentences? I wouldn't want to use the wrong buzzwords, fluff, or cliches.
Where would the pt work and freelance work go in the resume? I had one independent contracting job that I fell back on during moves and layoffs. It's unrelated to my primary profession, and often times I feel if I include it, it throws off my chances, but if I don't, it can get thrown off during an interview. Please let me know what your thoughts are.
Great question! Whether to include your part-time or freelance work in your resume will depend on how relevant it is to the position you're applying for. If the work is directly related, include it under the "Work Experience" section. If it's not directly related, include it under "Additional Experience" or a similar section. Be sure to present the information in a way that highlights your relevant experience and qualifications for the job. Hope this helps!
...still waiting to receive a confirmation email so I can have access to the template. The provesource pop up indicated I "just grabbed my free download"...but I didn't. I still do not have it....(I am certain I provided the correct email address)
Hi Melinda! Did you check you spam folder? Send me an email at heather@professoraustin.com and we’ll be sure to get the template sent straight over to you. 😊
Hi! Once you confirm your email address, the template should be deliver straight to your inbox. If it's not delivered, email me at heather@professoraustin.com!
Hi Nubi! Absolutely. The template is free and will be delivered to your inbox. Email me at heather@professoraustin.com if you don't receive it shortly. Thanks!
Its just an awe-inspiring career kick-start, I would say! Thanks Ma'am, I am definitely gonna apply this strategy rn. I can't hold my caree r back now 🙌🎉💗
Thank you so much professor Heather for your detailed explanation. I will go ahead and reformat my resume using yours. I am afraid I am not getting good results due to the length of my resume.
hello ma'am I am Eniola from Nigeria. I tried getting the free template for the resume but it hasn't been sent to my mail. please help me out. thank you so much for the helpful content. God bless
My dream job is being a sole legal counsel and multifamily investor, this resume template is amazing! You are truly changing lives, the positivity is amazing! TY PROFESSOR HEATHER!
Hi! The zipped folder is a Word doc. We also have it in Google doc format if you’d like. Email me and my team at heather@profesoraustin.command we’ll send you the link.
So after 2 years of applying for jobs, I took an afternoon and redid my resume and cover letter with her methods. I applied for a job that night, and landed an interview within 12 hours of applying... Amazing!
Wow Jason! Thanks for sharing. I'm thrilled to hear you landed a job so quickly. I'd love to share your success with other job seekers. If you're okay with it, I'd love a headshot. Do you have one? If so, can you email it to me at heather@professoraustin.com?
Hello, new to your channel this may sound like a dumb question but a virtual assistant I used to know said that the resume can only be one page is this true? I know your template is 2 pages but does it matter?
I hopped around job to job a bit lately. What your suggestion please? Should I leave some of the jobs out and only leave one that relevant to the position I am applying for? 😓
I am 54 years old and no matter how much experience I have or qualifications that I have acquired, employers are looking for 21 - 38 year olds, no matter how good the CV is.
Thanks for sharing! Age discrimination can be a challenge when looking for employment. However, it is illegal in many countries, including the United States, to discriminate against a job candidate based on their age. If you believe you have faced age discrimination, you can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in the United States. In terms of improving your chances of getting hired, it can be helpful to focus on highlighting the value that your experience and skills bring to the job. Emphasize your strengths and achievements and show how you can contribute to the success of the company. Additionally, consider networking and reaching out to recruiters who specialize in your industry and can help match you with job opportunities that are a good fit for you.

Is it acceptable to list an eight-year hiatus from employment as, "Spent some time getting my head together"?
Hi there! Great question. It may not be the best way to describe an eight-year hiatus from employment on your resume or during a job interview. This type of language may not be professional and could raise questions or concerns for potential employers. Instead, it would be better to describe the period as a personal leave of absence or a break in employment. If necessary, you can provide a brief explanation for the time off, such as for personal or family reasons, but avoid getting into too much detail unless asked.

Does putting your Core Competencies like that create a problem with ATS?
Hi Catherine! It shouldn't create a problem. It should help with ATS. :)
She said there was a free template at the end. That was a lie just to get you to purchase something. Very unethical
I hate careers I hate the idea of selling myself to other people and dedicating my time to making money for a company that doesn't care about me
I’m sorry you feel that way. What does your ideal job look like?
There's always independent/freelance work. Or finding a company whose mission and ethics align with yours.
@@AtalixZero what freelance jobs are there?
Me too but still gotta play the bills
It’s the same with you.
You don’t care about the company and it’s owner but you expect them to pay you 🙄
It’s exchange - work, skills for money. Friends and family you build after work ;)

The question is HOW DO YOU FIT THAT ALL ON ONE PAGE LEGIBLY.
Foreal!
Worst part of writing a resume is trying to remember what I have been doing the last 10 years. Moving from task to task to project to task after completion mostly resulted in forgetting the good result..

Hello! I'm so happy to hear the video helped you with your resume. I'm also happy you enjoyed the free template. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching. Keep me posted for when you land your next job. I'm excited for you.
Clicked the link below to "grab my free resume template" and repeatedly hit the "Send It To Me" green tile and all I got was a series of pop ups telling me who "grabbed" their free download. Perhaps it's a clandestine way of getting me to subscribe. MISSION FAILED.
I've been using her videos in my classroom the last few years to help students write better resumes (as sometimes it's important for them to hear other voices besides mine). She does a great job breaking everything down to simple terms and addresses the do's and don'ts while providing great content for viewers.
I'm thrilled to hear you're using my videos in you classroom. Hopefully you're students are writing stellar resumes because of what they're learning. :)
Thank you so much for the resume template and awesome video! I used your template and it got me a few interviews so far! It’s been a month since I began my job search since finishing college :)
Hey! Thank you for watching the videos. I’m so glad you were able to get some interviews. Hope your able to get that dream job! 👍
Really enjoyed watching this video! I have to add in some freelance work to my resume and all these helpful tips will really help me out!
Fantastic! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this. I haven’t updated my resume in years and this template was EXTREMELY helpful.❤👍🏾
You're so welcome!
Hello, alot of the time I hear that employers highly encourage if not require a resume that is ONE page. The template + info in the video make it so that it is at least 2 pages if not more with everything that is said. How should I go about making it one page and know what things to keep?
Hi , please how can I include my career record in the resume? I just finished from a cabin crew training school but licence not out yet.
Thanks
Hi there! When including your career record on your resume, focus on highlighting your relevant training and qualifications from the cabin crew training school you recently completed. Mention any certifications or licenses you are in the process of obtaining. Additionally, showcase any previous work experience or transferable skills that are relevant to the cabin crew role, such as customer service, communication, problem-solving, or teamwork skills.
Tailor your resume to the specific job you are applying for and emphasize the skills and qualifications that align with the requirements of the cabin crew position.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
can you help me how can i shape it more i have more than 2 years of experience and looking for remote jobs but i am shooting just blanks.
Absolutely, consider highlighting your accomplishments and quantifying your impact in your previous roles. Tailor your resume for remote work by emphasizing skills like self-motivation, communication, and familiarity with remote tools. Research each company and customize your application to match their needs. Best of luck in your search!
These videos are always so tailored to social media/HR/tech jobs. I never see resume videos tailored for research assistants, or similar fields.
The irony of a resume advice video that spends the first 2mins talking nothing of value. Rest of the video was great tho.
Haha, thanks for watching! 😂
how is it your career, if you dont own the business. is everybody taking credit for someone elses business because they got hired? wow
Great question! Think about your individual contribution and how you moved the needle forward in the business.
Mmm I didn’t receive the free resume
Was waiting for the this template eagerly Austin mam. Glad 😊 please do bring more templates for every year. ❤ love to be a part of this channel In this pandemic you are the best teacher. Where many lost their jobs at last depending on skills matters more than degree. 😇
Hello! So happy to hear you grabbed the new template. A lot has changed in the job market in the past few years. My team and I are constantly evaluating the market and trying to help job seekers stay on top. Thanks for watching!
Some great advice no doubt, but there were also some confusingly contradictory points that made me less confident than I was going into the video. For example, how are we supposed to make it customizable but also use your template and then avoid charts and tables when that's basically what a resume is. I don't know, I'll just make it good and hopefully I'll be fine. I'm mostly going to just take the good parts and use the template but in my own way? Great organization advise for formatting and stuff.
Hi Evan! Thanks for watching. You'll do great with the template. Definitely use it and make it your own. Keep me posted with how things go. :)
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin thanks Professor. ｡◕‿‿◕｡
awesome video! Just a question about the title in the resume. What if you're making a career switch and applying for jobs that you don't have direct experience in but do have transerrable skills. for example, if I'm appyling for a project manager position but have never held that title, is it still okay to put Project Manager as my title in the resume when applying?
I would
I owned a very business for about 25 years. It folded in 2020. Should I reveal that I was the business owner or should i treat it as if I worked there .. .since I need to work for someone else.
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about your business in 2020. When discussing your past experience, it's okay to mention that you were the owner. Being a business owner for 25 years means you've accumulated a wealth of skills and knowledge. Employers can view this as a testament to your leadership, resilience, and versatility. Just be prepared to articulate the transferrable skills you've gained and how they can benefit your potential new employer. Whether you frame it as being an owner or as someone who worked there, the key is to emphasize the value you can bring to a new role based on your extensive experience. Hope this helps!
Thank you kind Heather. Your reply is much more than expected..I switched to your template and the "less is more" text approach. I have over 100 resumes floating 8 hours a day for 3 months. one interview. It's tough out here ma'am
Hello I am new to your channel I'm reaching out because I'm in the process of transitioning from a career in medicine, where I've been a Physician Assistant for over two decades. My work experience has been primarily in healthcare, and I'm now looking to pivot into a different field.
I've recently tried applying for case manager positions, but unfortunately, I haven't had much luck in securing employment in this new direction. I would greatly appreciate any information, advice, or guidance you could offer to help me with this career transition.❤😊 Thank you
Hello and welcome to my channel! Transitioning from a long-standing career can indeed be challenging, but it's absolutely possible. With your background as a Physician Assistant, you have a wealth of skills that can be valuable in many fields, including case management. It's all about positioning these skills in the right way. I recommend starting by tailoring your resume to highlight transferable skills from healthcare to case management. Consider skills like patient coordination, communication, and problem-solving, which are crucial in both fields. Also, my toolkit has resources and templates that might be beneficial for someone in your situation. It's designed to guide job seekers through career changes. Remember, networking is invaluable. Connect with professionals in the field you're aiming for, and gather insights about what they're looking for in candidates. Stay persistent and positive! Best wishes on your career transition! ❤😊
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin thank you 😊
@memepitts22mp
Thanks professor I'm currently a MBA student from a tier 2 college in india today I got full clarity on how to write professional resume but I have no job experience basically I'm a fresher I did Operations internship with a housing company but they didnt provide me any certificate can you please make a video on how to create a resume for new college grads and people with no experience at all
I put my info in to get the free template, and neither button will go on to the next page or download it.
I tried a few times.
I finally work when I came back to it.
First time I just kept clicking the button and nothing happened.
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
haha! Thanks for sharing Caleb.
Hi Heather, l have requested for the free template but l cannot see it in my email.
Hi Lucy! Email me and my team at heather@professoraustin.com and we'll get the template sent to you. :)
Any tips on how to list multiple positions for one company because of promotion?
Absolutely! List the company name first, then each role underneath in reverse chronological order, with dates and key achievements for each position. This showcases your progression and highlights your accomplishments at each level. Best of luck! 🌟
Quality Analyst Specialist (for medical coders()
Awesome! I love it.
Professor Austin, is having a profile picture necessary?
Great question. On LinkedIn, yes! Not on a resume. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the info. Can you tell whether we should match the resume with a complete job posting, including about the organization, job duties, responsibilities, skills, benefits, etc.? or just responsibilities and skills enough?
Thanks for this video, Heather. Very good content. Ideas for future videos include: thoughts on the value of online portfolios, how to find contract-only positions/agencies hiring for corporations
Awesome! I love your ideas for future videos. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Professor Austin. I am improving my CV with the template. May I ask if it means I can just skip some of my past experience and only keep the most recent experience?
Great question! Normally you don’t want to go back anywhere from 10 to 15 years.
I'm using your template, but my resume is 2 or 3 pages long, even if I cut out unnecessary bullets while still listing job history to show consistency. Should I switch templates?
Respectable Austin please provide European standard cv.....
Dream Job: Project Manager for a Humanitarian and/or Development project at an NGO.
Worked in law enforcement for 15+ years. Struggling with what to actually put on the resume in order to appeal to the company. My interest is gearing more towards social justice, mental health etc.
So do you actually send the resume template free? Because I tried to get it from your site with two different e-mail addresses and all I got was a "progress bar" indicating that the e-mail was "80% done being sent" and a page full of links where I could buy things from you. I don't want to buy things from you, I wanted the template you were offering. It's been hours since I attempted to get the template and nothing has arrived. Don't advertise giving something for free if there's a condition like a required purchase.
Hi there! Yes, the template should go directly to your inbox. If you still don't see it, please email me at heather@professoraustin.com and my team will send it to you. The thank you page is an offer for The Career Advancement Toolkit. This is optional. It's for those that want more in-depth training and help with their job search. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
What if you are not a manager in, let's say, Customer Service but have been in the field for a short time. Or what if you've had dealings with customers for 20+ years but, in different jobs? How do you list your 3 key skills and what are the proper words for the career objective sentences? I wouldn't want to use the wrong buzzwords, fluff, or cliches.
Focus on your projects and accomplishments and the impact you made on customers.
Wish I had watched these tips sooner. These are gold.
Thanks for watching!
What if you don't have job experience every job ive worked i left 3-4 months later, no references or friends either.
So i dont have to include my address? Do i have to put in my LinkedIn page? I prefer not to.
Where would the pt work and freelance work go in the resume? I had one independent contracting job that I fell back on during moves and layoffs. It's unrelated to my primary profession, and often times I feel if I include it, it throws off my chances, but if I don't, it can get thrown off during an interview. Please let me know what your thoughts are.
Great question! Whether to include your part-time or freelance work in your resume will depend on how relevant it is to the position you're applying for. If the work is directly related, include it under the "Work Experience" section. If it's not directly related, include it under "Additional Experience" or a similar section. Be sure to present the information in a way that highlights your relevant experience and qualifications for the job. Hope this helps!
...still waiting to receive a confirmation email so I can have access to the template. The provesource pop up indicated I "just grabbed my free download"...but I didn't. I still do not have it....(I am certain I provided the correct email address)

Was the zip file with the resume template a trojan key logger? It would have been easier for a google docs link. Thank you for creating this video!

Fab video! Thank you :)
quick question. Can I skip the volunteer & Award & membership section? Or is it really necessary to put it on my resume.
You can totally skip this section. What other sections do you have to add to your resume?
So after 2 years of applying for jobs, I took an afternoon and redid my resume and cover letter with her methods.
I applied for a job that night, and landed an interview within 12 hours of applying... Amazing!
Wow Jason! Thanks for sharing. I'm thrilled to hear you landed a job so quickly. I'd love to share your success with other job seekers. If you're okay with it, I'd love a headshot. Do you have one? If so, can you email it to me at heather@professoraustin.com?
Seriously?
Is it okay to speak in the first person?
Not on a resume!
My dream job? Last night I think it involved being a garbage man on mars, but it varies.
That sounds awesome! I’d wanna go to mars too. 😂
You talk a lot but good video
Thanks!
Excellent information and guidance. I'll be honest with you, watching your videos has opened up my eyes in a huge way. Thank you, thank you thank you.
Awesome! I'm so happy to hear this. Thanks for watching.
Hello, new to your channel this may sound like a dumb question but a virtual assistant I used to know said that the resume can only be one page is this true? I know your template is 2 pages but does it matter?
Hi Heather! Welcome to the channel and great question. It all depends on how much experience you have. You might be okay with a one page resume.
I hopped around job to job a bit lately. What your suggestion please? Should I leave some of the jobs out and only leave one that relevant to the position I am applying for? 😓
Yes, I like that idea.
great content! you are now my teacher 😃
Happy to hear that!
The free resume template does not come through
Email me and my team at heather@professoraustin.com and we'll get the template sent to you. :)
Do you recommend using display pic for resume/CV ?
Great question! No. Unless you live in a country that requires headshots on resumes.
Thanks for sharing this knowledge and providing the template!
Glad it was helpful!
Introduction too long.
I am 54 years old and no matter how much experience I have or qualifications that I have acquired, employers are looking for 21 - 38 year olds, no matter how good the CV is.
Thanks for sharing! Age discrimination can be a challenge when looking for employment. However, it is illegal in many countries, including the United States, to discriminate against a job candidate based on their age. If you believe you have faced age discrimination, you can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in the United States.
In terms of improving your chances of getting hired, it can be helpful to focus on highlighting the value that your experience and skills bring to the job. Emphasize your strengths and achievements and show how you can contribute to the success of the company. Additionally, consider networking and reaching out to recruiters who specialize in your industry and can help match you with job opportunities that are a good fit for you.
Yeah most companies are now more concerned with wokeness, inclusivity, and pronoun usage!
not true.
