    SUMMARY
    --------------------
    How long? 6 Seconds!?
    Don’t believe me? I’m sharing my personal experience (more on this in a minute), but a number of job sites such as The Ladders (check out their eye-tracking story on how recruiters review resumes) indicate their survey says employers review your resume in six seconds. Ouch.
    How do you review the resume?
    Click. Open. Big Thunderbolt Mac Screen!
    Eye-Glance 1: Name please! My eyes go right for the top center. I want to see your name. Just your name and geography.
    Eye-Glance 2: Then I look at the entire top half of the first of page of your resume-all at once.
    Eye-Glance 3: Then I scramble down the left column of the first page. I’m looking for the companies you worked for. I’m much more interested in which companies you worked for than the positions you held.
    Eye-Glance 4: Then I look at the entire second page all at once.
    This entire eye-glancing escapade takes me no longer than six seconds.
    How do you decide to keep reviewing the resume?
    Now, I need to decide whether to delete the resume or whether to review it. I stress the word review because anyone who has time to read your entire resume has too much time on his or her hands.
    Want to know what I’m looking for?
    What’s the 5-second magic pill?!
    Why did you open this post? It was one of two reasons.
    You either know and love me and thought omigawd, Andy has another amazing post and I just have to watch (listen or read). Otherwise, you had no clue who I was, but saw the headline telling you some dude promises you resume glory in five seconds.
    I’m guessing the latter. Regardless of your reason, you need to interrupt the recruiter’s mind-numbing review process by giving her something she’ll love-right away. It’ll be your analogous “headline.”
    She wants to know you’ll bring value to her organization.
    The easiest way to do this is by encapsulating who you are professionally-in aggregate-and also highlighting your (likely three most) valuable contributions.
    I suggest doing this in a Career Profile section at the very top followed immediately by a Career Highlights section immediately underneath.
    I’ve already given you the exact formula and language in How to Build the Ultimate Professional Resume (milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ulti....

      Hi There! If you let me know your specific job, perhaps I can give you some tips to make it appear more exciting on your resume. You can also highlight some of the greatest, different skills you learned in each job. Together, all that experience can show you're extremely knowledgeable about that job. If you let me know, I'll do my best to help you!!

      Hey there! I can help you with that. There are different answers depending on whether you have NO experience or SOME experience. Can you do me a favor and let me know:
      1) if you have no work experience and, if so, which field/job you'd like to enter (I'll tell you what to put on your resume if I know what you want to do)
      2) if you have some work experience, and if so, which jobs have you held and which field you'd like to enter (that will help me understand and cite how to apply what you'd do to what you want
      Hope to hear from you soon!!!

Last week I watched your resume building webinar and immediately reworked my resume and uploaded it on a job site and applied for jobs. Before I did anything else, someone saw my resume ( I hadn't applied to this company), emailed me for an interview and by the end of the week I was hired! Thank you.

      Because people don't understand how many apply. I was Editor-in-Chief at a games media company and when we were searching for an editor, we got 10.000 applications per week. It was nuts. We've ended up hiring an HR agency because our two HR people and me were not able to handle all the applications to find the right editor within 2 months. By now we've automated a lot with filter systems even though you always run the risk of filtering out someone great.

I had last year 30 job interviews and I hardly got job on short contract.

    I used to work for HR for the state and part of my job was to look at resumes. I’ve seen resumes with font size 18 or one with alot of short term jobs (one of them lasting 1 day) and passed on those. It is true we only spend a few seconds on your resume. We quickly eye the experience then education.

I left am email to the principal , HR and compensation department. Finally my principal got in touch with me via email and ask me to call her . Once I called her she ask if I can email her a copy of my resume. I did! I just thought that I would get another offer letter with an 😮the original salary that I askask for.. Instead I got an invitation to apply for another position at the same school making 50% more than what I originally asked for. I applied and they immediately offer me the change of position without a interview I am nervous, but I am very happy also with all of your help and your tips!

    Andy is right. It just takes 6 seconds for an employer to either qualify or disqualify you for a job. A useful tool that I use to make eye-catching CVs is Canva. Highly recommended.
    Would also just add to make sure you use correct spelling, grammar and spacing and check multiple times. How you write on your CV says a lot about you, and how good or bad you would be as potential employee. You don’t want potential employers to think you are unprofessional.

    Thanks, Andrew. Having written (and rewritten) my resume over the years, I've noticed that today it's vital to be more deliberate. Several years ago, because of the economy, underemployment was rampant. Today, it seems to me, those who were underemployed are currently looking to find the better job, which makes the employment picture just as competitive as it was several years ago. Your tips about getting noticed are very helpful.

  • @mhdz10
    @mhdz10 5 років тому +1

    Thanks for the tips Andrew. I disagree with the part of not including a personal goal. If I listen to a recruiter from a certain company suggesting not to include this or telling me that they don’t want to waste time seeing this information, that to me would mean that they’re not interested in a win-win relationship since they are not really considering the candidate’s personal needs as much as their business needs. I have also read many resumes in my professional life and in my perspective an individual selling or offering their experience and talent to a company is also a human being with real life goals. The objective of a recruiter is to also find out the best matching relationship between business and personal interests and needs. Personal goals can help you define if a person might be a better candidate to a position and also to identify if the company will be able to offer the candidate whatever he/she is looking for. In resume, I think personal goal is as important as value proposition. Is a win-win relationship.

    Thank you, I realize that I am on the right track with my content in a 60-second ,but I don't like the format on my resume. My profile summary is evidence-based including my accomplishments that matches the job description. my main concern is narrowing down these jobs accomplishments for the jobs I held related to the new jobs.

    • @andylacivita
      @andylacivita  7 років тому +1

      Hey SweetCakes! Great to hear that. There are two parts to what you need. The resume itself: Check this out: ua-cam.com/video/RKM_LZ0ujX8/v-deo.html.
      You can also check out my free webinar regarding the 3 secrets to get your resume noticed: app.webinarjam.net/register/26620/efd7a64b75.
      For how to optimize the messaging related to your accomplishments: ua-cam.com/video/8g6PPucLsFY/v-deo.html
      For how to punch up the capabilities and then map them over, check out my Live Office Hours I did a week or so ago called How to Change Careers Successfully. I go into detail regarding mapping your capabilities to the new career or job (where you might not have the specific hard skills). You can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/W0Ytkc5GM08/v-deo.html.
      I would be diligent in looking at the potential job descriptions and trying to map the capabilities. You could also check out jobscan.co.
      You can also see a bunch more live office hours sessions in the Past Live Streams Section of my UA-cam channel. Of course, there are also tons of other videos on my channel that will help as well. Hope that helps!

    Hello Andrew. I left my last job in mid 2017, since then I have been unemployed but in full time study; should I still place my education at the end and have employers see that 2 year gap in my work history right away, or can I leave it at the start where it currently is?

    • @andylacivita
      @andylacivita  5 років тому +4

      You can move it up top if you'd like Rebecca, but I would keep the education below your career profile. Check my videos on how to build the ultimate professional resume and also the one I released this week on how to handle employment gaps!

    Do you think it is important to have city/state for each employer listed on the resume? Assuming there will be a formal application to fill out if you are selected for the position which would contain that info for background check purposes. And do companies really contact former employers anymore? They are not permitted to say anything really except their job title and dates of employment.

    • @andylacivita
