I realize in my older age that I often would get hired, I think, for being the guy who doesn't lead with college. Instead I talk about things that due to my presence were better. So instead of "Oversaw the key room" I would put "Maintained 1000s of keys and their records, practicing good key control, saving money, and reducing liability" or something like that. I like to think that it implies the opposite would be the case if I were not there to do the job. So if I weren't there, an unknown number of keys and their records could be lost, stolen, or misplaced without any record, costing money in key replacement and missing unsecured items. This is just an example that maybe a hotel or apartment complex employee might use.
Thanks a lot! I need to review my candidate profile asap as I feel it's a bit generic... considering that they don't even read past the 2 most recent experience your lay out sounds great. I think cover letter are a thing of the past. I have 2 standards. I customise them By myself only if I think the company is outrageously amazing lol, or I need to emphasise my transferable skills. Career objectives wise, that can be tricky because it depends on the industry. AE for tech BDM for others. Though saying BDM can come across as too bold. My 2025 new year resolution is not to lose my mind on those minutiae. Though the idea of how one's is able to conduct revenues orchestration is useful. Especially for sales professionals. I need to vet out the old school high volume outbound because is not conducive and I wasted so much time dealing with people who still don't understand the value of segmentation. Flu is over back to the grind tomorrow.
Great video thank you 🙏🏾

Solid advice. I skip the personal mission statement/career goals part though. It seems like fluff to me.
You should do a LinkedIn optimization video next
Thanks a lot!
