    1. Highlight your Human Skills ( patience, crowd works, etc.)
    2. Become a skills translator (what does communication mean in different job roles)
    3. Find data in discomfort (what kind of jobs do you want to do, where are you right now and what course to do to get that job in future)
    4. Get picky! (find company that has internal growth and promotion)
    Now TED, give me a job! plisss :*

    This is actually good. There is so much career BS out there. This is practical, logical and thoughtful advise for the average person that's also relatable to people in senior positions.

    Here’s a tip. Learn how to brown nose the right people, it’s how 80% of the good jobs are obtained. Don’t worry if you’re incompetent or unqualified, so long as you’re likable you’ll get it ❤

    I've been thinking of changing jobs after being at my first serious job since graduating and I'm terrified. My current company doesn't really have clear maps for advancement, but initiative is avoided because it means you'll be put in charge of something going forward, but still won't be recognized for it.

      how is being advancing to supervisor or manager not giving you recognition for what your currently doing, i myself have advanced in most jobs i've ever had but never too the manager role because i prefer logistics and B2B relationships, anyway hopefully your doing something you like to do and not just doing it because of the salary

      ​@@funnyvidstoday101why would you work for free? They're still making money off of your work but now you don't even get any of the profit of that labor. Extra work without extra money is bullshit and needs to be called out.

    How we measure soft skills? How do I realistically describe them on my CV in absence of an objective methodology?

    Except all this counts for zilch when your resume is being read by an machine that scans only for buzzwords and spits out a generic "thanks for your application" email.
    This also doesn't account for recruitment bias based on your name, your country of origin, age and gender.
    Finally, this doesn't acknowledge the bias recruiters have for clients already on their roster vs applications from the open market.

      Yeah, I wish they'd just stop having people write resumes in the first place. But I think the only reason they still are a thing is because there's a whole cottage industry of people giving resume advice and writing them for people and all that stuff. They'd lose their livelihood. In the internet age, there's no reason why employers can't just have applicants fill out custom tailored applications instead. Maybe you would still keep a basic resume or list of all your work experiences and contacts on your computer so you could use it to quickly auto fill that information on the applications, but that's the only thing you should have to use it for. Each employer should write their own unique application forms with questions specific to the job and you should only have to submit the application, not any resume that you've written yourself. The applications should ask a lot more questions about your qualifications for the job, in a lot more detail, than most applications currently do now. Then IF the employer prefers, the applications COULD automatically generate uniform resumes for each applicant that have all the same information in the same order. This way, it takes out all that stupid guesswork about what font and format you should use, what information you should put vs. what you should leave out, whether or not you should list stuff like hobbies and interest, etc. But I don't think that will happen anytime soon because there are to many so-called resume writing "experts" out there who make their living giving people advice about that stuff. If employers just used application forms instead, it'd be straight to the point and you'd know that you've given them everything they want.

    This all sounds good, but the reality is your resume has to be made to beat the Applicant Tracking System. If you add in all this extra stuff you cant beat the Ai...

    • @Melissa0774
      @Melissa0774 Рік тому

      That's why I have a folder on my computer with like 50 different resumes. You have to make a completely different one for each and every job you apply for. I think a lot of people don't realize that.

    Good bit on transferable skills. Everyday skills are widely overlooked because we forget that they don't only come from job-work experience.

    Considering how dehumanized the job hunting processes have become these tips are entirely useless.
    Just fill your CV with as many credentials as humanly possible. Make sure everything you do, bono or not, is accompanied by a certificate that you did "the thing". Then when applying to a position make sure you CV uses the exact words for the skills the company is looking for, otherwise despite having the skills if they are named differently their HR might just filter your application because it doesn't comply with the "buzzwords" they are looking for.
    Also clean up your social networks or private them, companies do check what you are about on social before any interviews.

      ​@@giorgizeikidze9977 gota love the irony of judging someone's "employability" based on how they "sound like" in a response about how vapid and impersonal selection processes are nowadays, in a video pretending judgment of employability is mostly about personal interviews and not on hunches about how your CV and protfolio "looks like". Thank you for proving my points right
