@@DEBO5 I'm in tech, 90% of any given job description is fluff and buzz words that they want you to regurgitate back at them. the relevant parts that I actually need to know to perform the job, those are roughly 3 to 5 lines worth of content. theres very little that is in there for the applicant's benefit. they go out of their way to obscure the finer details that I may actually want to hear about before applying.

Just few weeks a ago I helped a friend to re-write her resume, she was applying for IT jobs, requiring knowledge of World, Excel, and other software, but her resume had, bad formatting different fonts, different levels of indentations for the same information, spelling errors, different shades of black letters. I told her "how do you think some is going to trust you are able to work in Word if your resume, that is something you did with all the time in the world is that messy ??" Your Resume is the first thing they will have from you and maybe the only one, so it has to make you shine.
I’ve seen improvement in the number of callbacks ever since I started tailoring my resumes. I used to be afraid of not including all my skills and achievements but I took a chance and only listed skills and achievements relevant to the jobs and I got more callbacks. I’m still terrible at interviews so that’s where I’m focusing my energy on. Bryan, these videos are life changing. Thank you for all your hard work.
Former hiring manager here (since moved to a manager w/ no direct reports) - The full saying ended with "master of none, but still better than one". I think the advice on tailoring needs to be very aware of what the HM is looking for. For anything in IT I was involved in, I can say firmly that we preferred people with a wide range of experience and critical thinking skills. We actively avoided resumes that painted experience in one specific skill (nothing but one programming language, or nothing but one aspect of networking) simply because that skill by itself is rarely a full-time role.
Always wondered (as a seasoned veteran) if I should trim some of my resume. I moved from a 20+ year sales career into project management role/s the last 10-12 years. I generally leave the sales career off the resume. I can't believe I am old enough to worry about ageism. I feel like I was High School just a couple weeks ago 🐸
I'm in the same 'age' boat right now. But I have another negative I worry about in that regard... I'm trying to locate out of state at the same time. I'm not applying where I live. Add a long experience history to applying for positions 900 miles away and I have no hope of the phone ringing.
Yup! Exactly. “Age” and “Time” is such a strange, yet fascinating concept to me, because while it’s a blessing to get older - (especially considering that so many people die from untimely deaths and never reach the age of retirement or have an opportunity to grow elderly) - it becomes shocking when you realize, “Wow. I’m not young anymore, and there’s a new generation now.” For example, I’m 29. I was born in 1994. I still feel young-ish, but you blink, and time just moves so quickly. One of my colleagues was born in 2002 - a baby, just 21 years old, and not even old enough to remember 9/11 and how it was such a pivotal event in the United States. Just wild! 😅
Hi Brian, another great video, I have learned a lot and had too much experience I.e out of date and certifications. I would personally agree with you about my certification that I include in my cv, being 20 years old. Although the content in marketing is relevant, because I have never taken any more exams or development, so I won’t include this any more. I will also only go back 10 or12 years. Never mastered in a cv the conveying your fit, now I understand this better. Thank you
I’m an hr manager and was told recently by a major staffing company that experienced workers are asking for and willing to accept lower pay while recent graduates and those with 5 or less years of experience want and are demanding higher pay. Interesting ….
Experienced workers tend to be stubborn and are unemployed and willing to take a pay cut FOR A REASON Take that as you will while you read multiple 50+ employees crying on LinkedIn about "ageism"

Hi! I wrote you before, I have to dumb down my resume just to get interviews. It's almost down to nothing. Then, I have to deal with bosses saying I may take their job if they hire me. I just want the job I'm applying for. All together, they all want to low ball me on pay. I'm as grown as a person can be and have real bills. I don't live with mom and dad, I'm a senior, so I can't work for child's pay. So, what am I to do? I have a lot of skills and practical experience. I can and have done a lot of technical jobs my whole career.

@@ALifeAfterLayoff So I need to create a new targeted resume for every position I apply for? I like many are trying to figure this out, it never was this difficult like 5-7 years ago to find a job.
I got a job using AI to help me with my cover letter. I also used AI to create mock interview questions whenever I got shortlisted. Idk if it’s because I’m not from the US. I owe ChatGPT my job tbh. Haha.
@@scrwwea_nhl_hut5288 These recruiters use AI to turn candidates to nothing more than buzzword’s linked to satisfy the algorithm. This job market is trash. I had an interview and offer for a supervisor role at a company that’s making good money, they wanted to pay me $15 an hour, what an insult.
Most jobs I’ve applied for have their own template resume you have to fill up and you just have to come up with your own cover letter or supporting information. I’m really sorry for people in the US who is receiving hell just to get an entry level job.
To a degree, this is true. But it's better to have multiple resumes to be a great fit for the individual job you're applying to...if you want more callbacks.
I know you have talked about learning to create a resume. I am curious if a cover letter even matters. Isn't it basically the same thing, and are people even looking at it?
I'm applying for entry level data analytics job/ business intelligence job and I keep getting rejected. I have certificates that prove that I know how to use python, power bi , sql, etc... + I have 4 years experience as an international sales agent... I just don't know what else to do 😢
I've watched the video twice and only came out of it with 8 out of 10 tips. Could you please list what all 10 tips are. This information is very helpful and I will be changing some of my resume.
I have done all this even without knowing. I even sent my resume to a resume expert and they said my resume was easy to read, the information was well organized and on topic, and that everything was short and to the point. The only thing she said I should do is put any relevant skills I have in a section, which I did. Having a good resume has not helped me to get even an interview for a part time job let alone full time.
EDIT: Recruiters don't NEED to do the extra work. You do. (it's like walking into a car dealership and them saying you need to convince them to sell the car to you)
I can get interviews easy, but it's impossible to find anyone paying anything decent. 105k I make now is basically 80k because of inflation..... employers are colluding
i was on 38k and got laid off. now 10 years of experience in devops isn't worth peanuts because i don't have professional experience with the hashicorp stack. and forget moving back into straight dev work - all the recruiters think i'm incapable of that because development plus operations is too different from development, apparently.
I very much agree about the portfolio, but while I include the link in both my resume and on external applications, I notice almost 0 traffic to it. Though then again, I have been asked about some of my projects during interviews.
What type of tech jobs would need a portfolio? I'm looking for junior sysadmin/network admin roles, and I can't see how a desktop support role would populate a portfolio.
@Kimyumoto16 I meant more how do you create a portfolio of fixing BSOD, imaging Windows, disabling accounts in AD? Tech can mean more than programmers/developers.
Thanks for making this video. It was actual useful, actionable information instead of a more clickbaity contentless video. I understand that that's good filler content, but as someone who watches all of your videos, that form has been getting less engaging/valuable.
What about being concise or broad on LinkedIn? I have 12 years experience after pivoting to chemical regulatory compliance but also have 21 years of tech services/product development. I have found that to be a sell even for my regulatory roles as our internal customers (often technical scientists) really like knowing you can "talk their talk" and understand their challenges. Being open position specific in a resume makes sense, but I like having my LinkedIn broader and more comprehensive. Two of my past three jobs were due (at least in part) to my LinkedIn(that was the means through which I was contacted). Two of my past three jobs were also due to (at least in part) to developing solid personal connections. I do like the idea of summarizing earlier and less relevant experience without dates in LinkedIn. I may edit my current LinkedIn to do so as there are 10 positions while only 4 directly relate to chemical regulatory compliance. Do you have any related thoughts? Broader LinkedIn than resumes? Should I list my 19 patents or be satisfied to just mention I have them? Patents have nothing to do with chemical regulatory compliance but do impress some people. I love your videos. Thank you!
In my last job I only stayed in it for 6 months, it was a toxic environment and I had to leave and I am months unemployed due to summer season, in every other job I stayed 5 - 10+years yet hiring managers are focusing on this 6 months. Cannot decide whether to leave it off completely and just say I took a career break. Any thoughts?
Just say it wasn’t a good fit and you mutually decided to part ways.. you could say you mutually decided that when you found a new role in a new company, then the company pulled the position and put it on hold. But that may be a bit much.
So, is it better to leave a job off of your resume if it's in a different industry that you are applying to, even though it will leave a major gap for your work history?
@cbsmrdds That the poster of the job is paying LinkedIn for that specific job to show up in the very top of sections such as "Similar Jobs", or sent out in emails to those who are open to work, sometimes in your feed.. the reason someone probably said that is because of a company is "Promoting" (aka paying for an ad) for that job in times like these, if it is not a highly specialized job that just has very few qualified individuals in the overall market, then it likely has high turnover or not a good market for for compensation and benefits. On top of that, most promoted jobs in my field have anywhere from 400-900 within even the first two hours after it's posted, definitely that many within 24 hrs. So the competition is fiercer than already would be, therefore lowering your chances.
The one thing I always did was only format my skills section into two columns of bullet points (Maybe 3 or 4 bullets per column). Just for the sake of saving space and readability. Would that pose any issues with ATS systems? Or would it be better to just make it written list separated by some type of divider (Like the | symbol. That thing above the Enter key).
He showed a sample in this video. I used to have columns in my resume which I created using tables in Word. When ATS came about, I reformatted my resume.
I’m an EA who is getting interviews but not many. My resume is pretty superb because I get callbacks. I’m just missing time served for positions that should be my next role. I’m honestly starting to consider a pivot because it looks to me like AI will take over this marketplace. What skills are really valuable for a traditional EA to add? I’d love to see more conversations like this. I’m in my 40s and am already on the senior side for these stoles. (Both age and experience)
