As always, Andrew makes excellent points. I completely agree with the need to pick up the phone and how to answer in a way to form a good impression. The only part that I slightly disagree with is in looking over the requirements before submitting a résumé. Realistically , it is difficult to find a person who perfectly matches every requirement. In my experience as an IT Director when I hired someone I would look at their qualifications and see if it matched up with about 85 to 90% of the requirements. With any new job, there is going to be some measure of learning curve. What an employer is looking for is someone that can hit the ground running in a short amount of time and a relatively small learning curve but there is almost never a person that can come into a new job and have all the qualifications on day one. I’m sure Andrew is meaning something similar to these comments where the gist of his point is just to make sure that before you submit a résumé generally you match up with the requirements.
agree with @jamesglover1 on all this points (James) listed. It is wholly unrealistic for an employer, direct-client, recruitment firm to seek essentially a "perfect candidate" that matches exactly 100% of the job requirements (meaning education, degree or certifications, usage of 1 unique specific tool(s)) as each firm (large corporate entity or small/nid-size firm). Much talent, time, money and lost opportunity (especially on client side) is lost with this approach- my project contracts have been exclusive to the US - in this country, it's a know failed approach. If this recruiting approach is successful as a general practice in other countries i'd be very suprised at its success
yes, I feel like Andrew isn't really 'realistic'. He is up there, not grinding like most people. He promotes the 'ideal' world because it benefits his business. He says DON'T RUSH, TAKE YOUR TIME. Time is money, we need to pay rent bro lol. Also, imagine, paying 600$+ for a certification, in addition to a degree and it means nothing. He really only cares about his business
You shouldn't only apply to jobs where you meet 100% of the requirements. That's just not realistic. If you meet most of them you should still apply.
Greatly appreciate this kind of videos Andrew, please make more.
Especially for lower experience applicants but with experience that are related to the job.
Love this video, as a past employer myself I can relate and agree to everything you said with one exception… depending on who the employer is, the job requirements are sometimes a wish list vs actual requirements. Many times employers have difficulties getting applicants as the “requirements” can be quite onerous and too specific, especially when it comes to knowing certain types of software. Software exists out there by different developers that can do the exact same job such as MS project. If an applicant has some knowledge and experience with another relevant PM software I would as an employer prioritize interviewing those that meet my requirements, and also want to have applicants that mostly meet my requirements as alternatives just in case there is no one who is fully meeting my list of qualifications. Would like to see a follow up video Andrew!
Excellent video Andrew.! I have the same habit of judging people in couple of seconds and most of the time it goes right but initially people don't believe it.
Andrew thanks a lot for this video. This morning I received an email notifying me that I didn't get a role that I was so excited about, and your video is helping me get back on track and talk to myself in a positive way,since I don't do any of the negatives that you mentioned :) yikes there can be worse !!.....as for not picking up the phone, I do have an app that scans spoofers etc, so what I do is that I always look at the area code of the recruiter when emailing, so that way I know that first the app will not scan it as bad, and second the area code will be familiar, and of course I respond happy and knowing who it is. As for not having a voicemail greeting recorded, I was victim of identity theft this year, and so I avoid giving too much info of me to people that currently could be seeking to get back into getting more info about me, even though I have everything frozen, I feel like one never knows, but I do try my ways and they have worked so far.......and yes please keep the videos on the subject coming!
Hi Andrew,
I agree to a certain extent. Meeting the qualifications is important but also companies are asking for a minimum of 3 years of experience in a specific area of project management (IT, construction, medical) for entry level project management positions along with a project management certification. Any recommendations on how to break into a role that may not be as specific?
This is an excellent video from Andrew. Thanks a lot.
Some solid points noted !! And thanks for the real talk......
Any time!
Teach ChatGPT your writing style first.
Then have it write cover letters based on a copied and pasted job description.
It will blow your mind.
It is rare that the hiring manager sees your resume. Even when you are qualified it goes through AI, and HR first. They are looking for specific key words and experience levels…. In the correct format.
I am a Systems Administrator, with all the certs, and over 50 applications over the last 6 months, I have been rejected initially 47 times. 3 times I got to the next level and then turned down, for a lateral move.
Locally, I have handed my resume to 2 companies, no AI… got interview and competitive offers for both jobs.
It’s the hiring process ON TOP of the points you made.
Hey, do you mean I should personally go to companies or send the email directly to the company?
@@TheeGirl45... I’m just saying that it’s easier if you can find companies that do review your resume without AI. Smaller businesses that don’t use 3rd party are so much better at reviewing your resume.
It takes some time to find them but they are out there.
Looking forward to the how to ace an interview. This one was solid
I m currently looking for a new job and Andrew, what you mentioned is what I have been learning haha on spot
Thank you mr Andrew.your guidelines are very helpful and comprehensive
Hi Andrew, this video is very helpful, kindly make the next part. Thanks
Hi Andrew, I am gonna take my CAPM this Saturday.... I am really excited on it.
How did it go
Yes. Please make a few more of these. Esp - resume. How do you scan it?
Great video 🎉
The IT market down-right sucks right now. 3 years ago I was walking around with two laptops -- double-dipping. I have over 15 years of experience and a top-secret clearance.
Great tips! Would love a video with interviewing tips!!!
Coming soon!
@@AndrewRamdayal AWESOME!!
Sure. Mr. Andrew. It would do lots of good. Please make videos on Acing Interviews with a mindset like your PMP
Hi Andrew, Yes, I look forward to the next videos on employment getting skills once you have your PMP, especially interviews. Also, are people using cover letters nowadays?
Will do! Yes, I think a cover letter is important personally.
Im screwing up lot of my interviews at the final stage. No feedback or nothing from HR even after contacting them. I dont even know where im missing it. My love for HR is increasing everyday.
Do another next video. But wish you could still focus more on getting the interview. Discuss more about automated Application Tracking Software that most recruiters use.
Hey Andrew, so here is the reason why you get unqualified resumes is because the government (unemployment) make people apply to any and all job posting (10 per week) in order to keep there benefits, that is why
Great tips!
I have seen so many thrown together resumes, no good formatting, no sentences, different font sizes and I can go on. Not or mentioned presentation. It takes more than just having the qualifications.
💯
Hi Andrew, please make more videos on interview tips.
Hi Andrew, could you please make a video on how to judge a person in a few seconds?
I would but I am not sure how to teach that.
Please do a video on how to ace interviews
If we want to get into project management, how do we get our foot in the door to get the experience ? Is the only way , starting a job and hope they see the potential and give me a chance?
Thanks Andrew, I really enjoy the video. Can you make one for recent graduates with no experience looking to get in project management.
I have attempted my exam on July 5th this year but unfortunately couldn't make it out. Now started following your PMP Exam Prep course...It is very clearly exaplained thank you for it
I wish to complete this exam soon back again. Till by what date am eligible to attempt the exam.
Great job Andrew. What do you have to say to me; I have been denied so many jobs based on the fact that they feel that I am over-qualified!
If I have no experience with something they're asking for. How do I obtain that experience without lying about experience that I don't have?
I’d like to know about the interview!
well one thing companies has flaws is they hiring people wants a fresh graduate but with 5 years of experience, and yet the pay is meager. I must say companies must hire people who have guts to do the work rather than having 100 certificates but is a slacker.
A Caribbean man…found my instructor lol
Recruiters should also be lenient with applicants, most times people send out 100s of applications and you expect applicants to remember every company they applied to. how fair is that?? How one responds is key but forgive me if i apply to your company 1 year ago and you are reaching out to me a year after asking me if i applied to your company....alot has happened in a year.... how am i supposed to remember your company?
You want the job or not? Don't send 100, send 10 well made customized resumes to jobs you really want and qualify for.
Interview
0:35 hired and fired?😳 if you had to fire someone you hired, then you didn’t hire right! Sorry for nitpicking 😊 with due respect 🫡
