This may be my first comment on a youtube video, but I would sincerely like to thank you for the template. I decided not to renew my teaching contract and decided to test the job market this summer. I've searched for 2 months as of now without having much luck the first month. Then I decided to swallow my pride and tell myself I didn't know how to write a resume. Lucky for me, I came to your youtube channel. Since I've updated my resume, I've received callbacks on >50% of my online applications as opposed to

I had forgotten to mention the biggest testament to the template. I have the final interview today for a job that I did not receive any consideration from last month, and the only thing that changed was my updated resume.

Hey, guys! Are you trying to land more job interviews? Or maybe you're on the hunt for a higher paying job.This video will help you write a really good resume.You'll also find a sample resume template. What do you struggle with the most when it comes to writing a resume?
Professor Heather Austin my hardest part of writing my resume is finding my strengths. This is due to the past 3 jobs I’ve had, I have always felt as though I’ve excelled at it. So, it’s so hard to find my strengths.

@@mr.k4311 Not necessarily. There are people that charge way more. I do resumes for people and it is time consuming, so it is only fitting to get paid for that. Although I do a little cheaper for students, $50 is pretty decent for a working adult.
I’ve been struggling to get any jobs that aren’t fast food lately and I decided to step it up and apply for a couple jobs that are more competitive but writing isn’t my strong suit, so thank you for this video!
Thanks Professsor Heather Austin! You're the best. I've learned a lot about writing a resume through RUclips videos and I have to say that your video stands out the most. Your bright and upbeat personality really made the video worth watching. Thanks for the video, keep sending more!
As a previous hiring manager, I would say applicants should be careful with getting to out of the ordinary with formatting. Sometimes it will make the document unable to be opened on the other end. Or it may not translate when the hiring manager goes to view it. If applicants stay within your recommendations here and just stick with unique fonts and bolding etc they should avoid resume rejection for eligibility. 🙂thanks for your vids!
Hi there! Thanks for watching. I totally agree. Fonts that are too unique will definitely not come across well for the reader on the other end. That's super neat you were a hiring manager. Are you in a new industry?
I'm not currently look for a new job, but these resume writing tips are super helpful. It's almost like a step-by-step on how to write a really good resume. Thanks!
Richard, I'm glad you mentioned the formatting of a resume. This is so important. Especially because hiring managers and recruiters received 100's of resume. You want to stand out from the others.
I had a great paying job made 1700 a month being only 16 but the business was privately owned and they couldn’t pay for it anymore, so now job hunting. Thanks for this.
So I had to complete a new resume for a different company than I currently worked for. This was tremendous finding your video as I just got a job paying 2 times what I currently make!!! Thank you!!
Professor Heather Austin I wrote down the tips from the video, and then downloaded the template to ensure I had everything right. I used the colors you did for headings, different fonts, and all the tips you did. Now I am using one of uour other videos to write my resignation from my current company :-) thanks for everything , you were helped me achieve something I have been trying to do forever.
Randy, wow! You just made my day! Thank you so much for sharing this. Good luck with your resignation. I’m sure it will go smoothly. Would you mind if I share your comments as a testimonial with others wanting to use the template?
My biggest challenge is tying in my experience. Nursing, Bar & Restaurant owner, Jewelry Store owner, R&D/Plant management in the seafood industry in Mexico, and now manager at a laboratory at night. I am all over the place.
I think one of the biggest challenges is to see oneself objectively, without inflating or over-judging one's own experiences. This at least has been a struggle for me. Almost feels like someone else who knows me could write a much better CV about me than I could. So overcoming those tendencies and avoiding the over-corrections is key. Yet it is still daunting, as I sit to update my resume. (Thanks for the video, it definitely helped along with the link to the 6 sec Resume). :)
Mario, I totally understand. However, I still believe you know yourself best. It's okay to boast about yourself and all the wonderful things you've done. Don't be shy about that. Your resume and your interviews are the time to do this.

VeroSweetHobby hi! Resume writing is always challenging. Applying these few simple resume writing tips can definitely decrease the time it takes to write a resume. 😊
A very Energetic way to talk about a resume and very valuable key points for optimizing it.. thanks for taking the time to make a good video. appreciate it...
I've been job searching for two years now. I've tried several different resume routes. I sure do hope this works for me, I'm about done with all this rejection crap!!!
You can't teach pesonality to people, but you can give wisdom to help one choose who they will be. Sometimes we all get lost and frustrated and angry when we feel abused by others or not given a fair chance, as you naturally would, but dont be ran over sometimes you gotta make it happen for yourself hun! If you've tried to move up and are still ignored go where youre worth is appreciated and valued! "To whom MUCH is given, MUCH is required" - The Bible! The competition is not just those in your own backyard anymore. Thanks internet! It is put in place to work for you! That doesn't mean you dont have to do ANY work you guys; it wont work itself! One more thing! I wont tell anyone not to speak profanely, but I will shine a little light on you love... "There's a time and a place for everything!" Being professional isn't a front, it's a part of you! You turn it on when you're about your business and relax/let loose when the time is apropriate; even then you will be judged/known by your ways. "In the same measure you expect to be treated, you should treat others" this means when you go out of your home, to spend money or time at an establishment, the service you expect to receive in good morality is what you should strive to give. I say this because that is how the world should be! Unfortunately it isn't all the time, but I guarantee if you live those words as law, you will receive the measure of your faith and a newly-found peace will ease your worries that other people cannot give you! Morals are everything my loves and the bed YOU make for yourself, no matter how plush or how bare, is the one YOU must lay in. Faith without works is dead boo boo lol! Keep pushing and have a "Let's do this!!!" mentality! I hope your ears and hearts are blessed by these words
This is amazing! I feel like when thinking about jobs, we always consider what we can get from them as opposed to what they need. Thank you for sharing Heather, just subbed!
Glad to see you do your research. Mythbusters proved almost 10 years ago that gold fish show evidence of remember things longer than 11 months after learning them and can spend at least 10 concentrated minutes learning something new.
I know this video is 3 years old but for me the biggest challenge with my resume will be coming up with accomplishments from my previous positions. They've mostly been either jobs close to minimum wage or independent contractor positions. The independent positions can allow me to list the compliments that my riders have given me in the past but that is likely it.
RobtheChamp22 so glad you shared, even though the video is a few years old. I still try to read most of the comments on my channel. Thanks for watching. 😊

Really great tips and thank you! I help mentor recent grads and new adults and resumes is a huge part of the conversation. Thanks so much please keep posting!
My biggest challenges when writing a resume have been writing paragraphs and using outdated Objective Statements. These tactics have gotten places. However, not far as I would really like to. Thank you kindly for this video!
Wow...wish I saw this a couple of month ago when I was struggling for days to write a resume. Now I can update it so it look professional. Will down load your template for help! Thank you.
Hi Nancy. Thanks for watching. A good rule of thumb is to not go any further back than 10 - 15 years. Make sure the items on your resume relate directly to the job you are applying for. You'll do great!
Thanks for helping me understand better how to turn job descriptions into accomplishments. This has always been a challenge for me. Great resume writing tips.
Hi, thanks for the info you shared there. Most RUclips videos are made for people who already have work experience they don't say much about those who are fresh out of college or freelancers... I think those are the kind of people who should be catered for the most
Hi, Thanks a lot! I learned so much! As Chinese, my biggest problem is that I do not know if my English abilities are suitable for the requirement of the Recruiters or not. So dear Professor Heather Austin, could you provide the consulting services for helping me, such as Resume revision or mock-interview? I am looking forward to your reply！
Thanks for this video. I'm a final year student, but in the near future I'll be applying for a job interview. I'm a little bit nervous but I think it's normal.
Thank you! You make something hard for me, seem simple. The hardest thing I find about writing a resume is what to include and what to leave out. What should be detailed for "key words" and what would appear as clutter.
Hi there! I'm so glad you found these resume writing tips useful. Writing a resume can certainly be overwhelming. Keywords should be word that relate directly to the position. Like accounting, project managements, sales leadership, etc... Also, clutter is considered items that don't relate to the position you are applying for. Does that help?
Pretty difficult to explain my accomplishments with routine day to day task-oriented jobs that have no room for creativity or improvement of the process. Jobs where you can't quantify your job because you essentially do the same thing every day.
Professor Heather Austin not really, I was a manager at a top tier movie theater. Business depended mostly on what movies were showing and the demographics of the audience. So it is difficult to get a handle of what exactly I accomplished in terms of hard numbers. I handled cash, delegated assignment, and did a lot of customer service. I just graduated and want to start a career in finance but I'm not sure how to incorporate this job in my resume.
@@Viper4ever05 literally in the same position. Me working at a movie theater in times square is only impressive to other sales associate positions, not to the research internships I'm applying to. And now-a-days you need experience to get the experience you need to qualify for an internship to get you experience for a job! Where am I supposed to get experience if I don't even qualify for positions that get me experience because of lack of experience!
VPX4 work for someone for free and do a good job at it. When you are done, the employer or business owner will have nothing left but to pay you, especially if you did a good job.

Wow, great examples on how to write a really good resume. Thank you for providing a screen shot of your sample resume template. I need to download the template.
The hardest part for me is quantifying my bullet points. I instinctually want to write anecdotal notes instead. It's too late now, but I've learned the hard way the importance of a project journal/tracker for my next job. Also, I have no info about monetary impact of my work. I did the work and got pats on the back. Bosses don't tell me what the value of that work was. I'm lucky sometimes if they even USE the work. 🥺
Girl why are they so hard to get into? lol! Along with everyone else I know who has applied, I have also been denied! lol so im sitting here watching this same video with you. ;) Hope this helps us both out Bella! I'm almost certain it will thanks to Professor Heather.
Thank you for this video, I got two pointers that I really liked! I was just wondering what do you do when you have short employment or gaps in employment? Like they say dont use anything under six months. Do you have a video on this that I missed? I really appreicate any help. thanks
Mia, thank you for watching. I’m thrilled to hear you got some takeaways from this video. I haven’t yet made a video about employment gaps. Thanks for the idea. Do you have volunteer experience that you can add? Employers love this!
One of my biggest challenges is trying to figure out what to put on my resume. I have done so much that it is difficult for me to figure out where to start. I also find it a challenge to talk about myself in a resume but I have been working on that for some time now. Good video.
livin kitten, thanks so much for watching. This is a common frustration. Narrow in on work experience that is relevant to the position you are applying for.
Hi, Kimberly! That's great. Don't forget the sample resume download if you need it. It's more for entry-level positions, but you can build upon it if you will be applying for executive level positions.
I'm not looking for another job but I did just go through an annual review. A lot of these tips transfer well to presenting yourself well during review time.
I have been applying and sending out my resume for about two weeks, about 6 jobs a day everyday. I have four girls and I am a single mom, I have not received more than two interviews, no one has called me back, and I have received several "We have moved on with our hiring process". I really really REALLY NEED HELP!
Kay Douglass, thanks for the comment. I’m sorry to hear you are not getting call backs. I’m hosting a free career workshop on right here on RUclips next week. You should come. I believe it will help you. ❤️
My main issue is explaining what I have done at prior positions that don't make the resume sound repetitive or redundant. I also struggle to make a list of skills that would be beneficial and universal to a majority of jobs. Being young also makes it hard to make my experience sound important.
Great tips on how to write a great resume!!... I wish I knew these tips when I was working in corporate America. I was certainly winging things back then.
I once volunteered as HRM before and was involved in recruiting Team Members for our events. I noticed that I often skipped the Education Background part as I tend to look for experience. My questions are; 1) Where should they put their Education Background? After Professional Profile or almost at the very last? 2) Wht can the job seekers (esp. fresh-grad) emphasize on for this section? I once hired a well-educated applicant but he was not competence enough. Many thanks!
Firdaus Ismail, great resume writing questions. It depends on the situation. Most of the time, the education section will go at the bottom of the resume. Students can also add a volunteer section or some type of club/school organizations. Hope this helps!
My challenge is what to focus on. There are so many jobs I like. Blow drying stylist, dog bather, accountant, H&R Block person, Analyst, Unique Pup wear designer and lady dresses and hand sewn gifts plus business card designer.
Hi Liz, this is a common problem so many face. It sounds like you're a well rounded person with lots of interests. This is great! Focus on your transferrable skills. Those are skills/talents/expertise you have that can be applied to any of those positions. i.e. good communication skills, analytical skills, problem solving skills, etc... Hope this helps!
Erika, thank you for the comments! Make sure you download the resume template to help you get started. You can always tailor it to your liking. The template will give you big jump start. 😀
Hi Heather thanks for the video. Do you have any tips regarding how many bullets each previously held position should have? Also could you speak on word count as well?
Hi Larry! Great questions. Each position should have 3 to 4 bullet points. You can have more on your most recent position. In terms of word count... That's hard to determine. I would base it off of pages. If you have more than 5 years of work experience stick to a 2-page resume. No longer. Good luck!
my previous work experience is all light labor, therefor I don't have accompaniments from past work to add to a resume, but all I hear from the "exports" on how to make my resume shine is to highlight them!

I went to college for business accounting and now I am an engineering project manager in the tech sector. To get to where I am today I picked up a wide range of skills and transferable skills but I always feel like in an effort to showcase my adaptability I end up oversharing. Do you have any advise?
Thank you for giving helpful 6 tips. My greatest challages are two : First, Profile writing and Second, how to set or Mention my skills based on my degree. For example Is it ok to write objective like this one , looking for a job as an Electrician based on my Diploma in Computer Engineering Technology(2003) by formulating leadership execution and to set Profile # Managed Computer Hardware Assenling. # Handle 38 Electronic components working and testing such as Transistor, MOSFET, Diode, Capacitor so on.
i have trouble putting something on the resume. i dont know what to do to make it better but ill see if this template will help me since its very specific and detailed
Super helpful tips. I really liked the tip you shared about using a branding profile. I'v always had an objective statement. Maybe that's what's been wrong. Thank you.
Hi there! Yes, an objective statement is old and outdated. Use a branding profile in it's place. It will help you show a company what you can do for them, rather than what you want.

Morals are everything my loves and the bed YOU make for yourself, no matter how plush or how bare, is the one YOU must lay in. Faith without works is dead boo boo lol! Keep pushing and have a "Let's do this!!!" mentality! I hope your ears and hearts are blessed by these words
Wow! Thanks for sharing this. I wish you the very best on your job hunt.
This is amazing! I feel like when thinking about jobs, we always consider what we can get from them as opposed to what they need. Thank you for sharing Heather, just subbed!
House of Many, hey! Thanks so much for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed these resume writing tips. Good luck with your job search.
Thank you!!
Glad to see you do your research. Mythbusters proved almost 10 years ago that gold fish show evidence of remember things longer than 11 months after learning them and can spend at least 10 concentrated minutes learning something new.
Misshowzat, that’s so awesome! I didn’t know goldfish could remember things up to 11 months after learning them. Wow! Thanks for sharing.
I know this video is 3 years old but for me the biggest challenge with my resume will be coming up with accomplishments from my previous positions. They've mostly been either jobs close to minimum wage or independent contractor positions. The independent positions can allow me to list the compliments that my riders have given me in the past but that is likely it.
RobtheChamp22 so glad you shared, even though the video is a few years old. I still try to read most of the comments on my channel. Thanks for watching. 😊
My son needs these tips as he's graduating soon and will be looking for a job
Congratulations to your son Herman. What specialty is he graduating in?
Someone is off to a late start, I started working when I was 13.
it's called being useful in society
My biggest challenge writing resumes is the wording. Translating what I did in the service to regular work compared to everyone else.

Hello my friends over at Indeed. I have a new version of this video. Have you seen it? Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/r_Wf532f5X4/видео.html
Really great tips and thank you! I help mentor recent grads and new adults and resumes is a huge part of the conversation. Thanks so much please keep posting!
Hi there! So happy to hear you have your boots on the ground helping recent grads! Glad I could help. Keep up your great work.
It's always great to learn more about how to write a really good resume. Especially in 2018. My favorite tips was to focus on the format and design.
Hi. Have a well formatted resume is so beneficial. I always recommend using a bold and extra spacing where appropriate. Thanks!
Hi. Have a well formatted resume is so beneficial. I always recommend using a bold and extra spacing where appropriate. Thanks!
My biggest challenges when writing a resume have been writing paragraphs and using outdated Objective Statements. These tactics have gotten places. However, not far as I would really like to.
Thank you kindly for this video!
Wow...wish I saw this a couple of month ago when I was struggling for days to write a resume. Now I can update it so it look professional. Will down load your template for help! Thank you.
Rachel, I’m so glad you found my video and the new template. The template will really give you a jump start. Good luck on your job search!
don't know if I should include everything i've done or the most relevant to the job post...thanks Heather! Love your energy
Hi Nancy. Thanks for watching. A good rule of thumb is to not go any further back than 10 - 15 years. Make sure the items on your resume relate directly to the job you are applying for. You'll do great!
These are so smart!! I love the top half - when I read resumes I focus on the top half!
That’s great! The top half is the first place someone looks when reviewing a resume. It needs to quickly grab someone’s attention. Thanks for sharing.
This Help Me So Much At Getting A Better Paying Job .Thank you
Super awesome! Thanks for sharing Noah.
Thanks for helping me understand better how to turn job descriptions into accomplishments. This has always been a challenge for me. Great resume writing tips.
Hey, so glad you found these resume writing tips useful. Don't forget the sample resume template you can use and tailor for you next job.
Hi, thanks for the info you shared there.
Most RUclips videos are made for people who already have work experience
they don't say much about those who are fresh out of college or freelancers... I think those are the kind of people who should be catered for the most
Hi there! So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Great tips to land the next job. Thanks for making the vid.
Hey, thanks Danny! So glad you enjoyed this video.
Thank you,good tips
You’re welcome
Learned a lot from your video today how to write a really good resume. I'm glad you shared resume writing tips for 2108.
Glad to have helped. Was there a tip that you found most useful?
Glad to have helped. Was there a tip that you found most useful?
I love sharing your videos with my daughter!
Hi, Thanks a lot! I learned so much!
As Chinese, my biggest problem is that I do not know if my English abilities are suitable for the requirement of the Recruiters or not.
So dear Professor Heather Austin, could you provide the consulting services for helping me, such as Resume revision or mock-interview?
I am looking forward to your reply！
Thanks for this video. I'm a final year student, but in the near future I'll be applying for a job interview. I'm a little bit nervous but I think it's normal.
Yes Antonio! It’s super normal to be nervous. You’ve got this! Thanks for watching.
Hi Professor, Thank you very much for your sharing. Its very helpful. Please keep posted and i will give you 100% support.
Hi there! So happy to hear you enjoyed this video. I wish you the best on your resume.
Thank you! You make something hard for me, seem simple. The hardest thing I find about writing a resume is what to include and what to leave out. What should be detailed for "key words" and what would appear as clutter.
Hi there! I'm so glad you found these resume writing tips useful. Writing a resume can certainly be overwhelming. Keywords should be word that relate directly to the position. Like accounting, project managements, sales leadership, etc... Also, clutter is considered items that don't relate to the position you are applying for. Does that help?
Pretty difficult to explain my accomplishments with routine day to day task-oriented jobs that have no room for creativity or improvement of the process. Jobs where you can't quantify your job because you essentially do the same thing every day.
Hi there! Aww yes, I can see how this would be difficult. Were numbers or quantity of items/things involved in any way in what you did?
Professor Heather Austin not really, I was a manager at a top tier movie theater. Business depended mostly on what movies were showing and the demographics of the audience. So it is difficult to get a handle of what exactly I accomplished in terms of hard numbers. I handled cash, delegated assignment, and did a lot of customer service. I just graduated and want to start a career in finance but I'm not sure how to incorporate this job in my resume.
@@Viper4ever05 literally in the same position. Me working at a movie theater in times square is only impressive to other sales associate positions, not to the research internships I'm applying to. And now-a-days you need experience to get the experience you need to qualify for an internship to get you experience for a job! Where am I supposed to get experience if I don't even qualify for positions that get me experience because of lack of experience!
VPX4 work for someone for free and do a good job at it. When you are done, the employer or business owner will have nothing left but to pay you, especially if you did a good job.

Wow, great examples on how to write a really good resume. Thank you for providing a screen shot of your sample resume template. I need to download the template.
Hi there! I hope you find the sample resume temple useful. Keep me posted. I am here to answer any questions you might have. 😀
The hardest part for me is quantifying my bullet points. I instinctually want to write anecdotal notes instead. It's too late now, but I've learned the hard way the importance of a project journal/tracker for my next job. Also, I have no info about monetary impact of my work. I did the work and got pats on the back. Bosses don't tell me what the value of that work was. I'm lucky sometimes if they even USE the work. 🥺
i just wanna get a job at target
Great! Follow the resume template and you'll increase your chances of getting a job at Target. I wish you all the best.
Girl why are they so hard to get into? lol! Along with everyone else I know who has applied, I have also been denied! lol so im sitting here watching this same video with you. ;) Hope this helps us both out Bella! I'm almost certain it will thanks to Professor Heather.
No cap me too 😂😂😂
No you don’t they suck to work for
Thank you for this video, I got two pointers that I really liked! I was just wondering what do you do when you have short employment or gaps in employment? Like they say dont use anything under six months. Do you have a video on this that I missed? I really appreicate any help. thanks
Mia, thank you for watching. I’m thrilled to hear you got some takeaways from this video. I haven’t yet made a video about employment gaps. Thanks for the idea. Do you have volunteer experience that you can add? Employers love this!
One of my biggest challenges is trying to figure out what to put on my resume. I have done so much that it is difficult for me to figure out where to start. I also find it a challenge to talk about myself in a resume but I have been working on that for some time now. Good video.
livin kitten, thanks so much for watching. This is a common frustration. Narrow in on work experience that is relevant to the position you are applying for.
Thanks for replying, and the advice. Makes sense.
Thanks, just started updating my resume yesterday.
Hi, Kimberly! That's great. Don't forget the sample resume download if you need it. It's more for entry-level positions, but you can build upon it if you will be applying for executive level positions.
I'm not looking for another job but I did just go through an annual review. A lot of these tips transfer well to presenting yourself well during review time.
The Bootstrap Boutique hi there! Aww, the good ol' annual review. 😀Yes, these tips can also be used for that. I'm hope your annual review went well.
Very helpful. Thank you.
I have been applying and sending out my resume for about two weeks, about 6 jobs a day everyday. I have four girls and I am a single mom, I have not received more than two interviews, no one has called me back, and I have received several "We have moved on with our hiring process". I really really REALLY NEED HELP!
Kay Douglass, thanks for the comment. I’m sorry to hear you are not getting call backs. I’m hosting a free career workshop on right here on RUclips next week. You should come. I believe it will help you. ❤️
My main issue is explaining what I have done at prior positions that don't make the resume sound repetitive or redundant. I also struggle to make a list of skills that would be beneficial and universal to a majority of jobs. Being young also makes it hard to make my experience sound important.
Great tips on how to write a great resume!!... I wish I knew these tips when I was working in corporate America. I was certainly winging things back then.
I dont think I have an attention span shorter than a goldfish. I be staring at the ceiling for hours straight yo
Stumbled across your channel and had to subscribe! Thanks for breaking down these topics in small chunks that are easy to understand. :)
Thanks a lot for this. Pretty helpful!
Thank you for the tips. Many of my jobs don't require skills but I still have to make my resume look good and professional.
Hi there Rudy! Thanks for watching. So glad you enjoyed these tips.
you need a certain level of skill for anything to be done correctly.
Branding Profile! Wow, thank you for this and for keeping me in the loop on staying professional in the world.
So true about our attention spans. I love the branding profile right up there at the top. All great tips, thanks!
thank you. I really needed tips.
Hi Margaret! Thanks for watching. I wish you the best with your resume.
this really helped me get a job!
Yeah! Way-to-go. When do you start?
Excellent video. This is very helpful, thank you.
Great tips! I love your simple solutions! My attention span is super short, so this was really helpful!
Christina, I also have a super short attention span. I’m glad you found these resume writing tips useful.
I once volunteered as HRM before and was involved in recruiting Team Members for our events. I noticed that I often skipped the Education Background part as I tend to look for experience. My questions are;
1) Where should they put their Education Background? After Professional Profile or almost at the very last?
2) Wht can the job seekers (esp. fresh-grad) emphasize on for this section? I once hired a well-educated applicant but he was not competence enough.
Many thanks!
Firdaus Ismail, great resume writing questions. It depends on the situation. Most of the time, the education section will go at the bottom of the resume. Students can also add a volunteer section or some type of club/school organizations. Hope this helps!
My challenge is what to focus on. There are so many jobs I like. Blow drying stylist, dog bather, accountant, H&R Block person, Analyst, Unique Pup wear designer and lady dresses and hand sewn gifts plus business card designer.
Hi Liz, this is a common problem so many face. It sounds like you're a well rounded person with lots of interests. This is great! Focus on your transferrable skills. Those are skills/talents/expertise you have that can be applied to any of those positions. i.e. good communication skills, analytical skills, problem solving skills, etc... Hope this helps!
I was looking for a video like that...now i found...thanks
Thank you very much Heather
This is an amazing channel Heather! Well Done 🙂

Using it with my Business Skills class thanks Heather
Awesome! Thanks Davon.
This is such a helpful video!!! Thank you for sharing these 6 tips!
Ellen Ashton Photography, thank you! I’m glad you liked these resume writing tips.
Hi Heather thanks for the video. Do you have any tips regarding how many bullets each previously held position should have? Also could you speak on word count as well?
Hi Larry! Great questions. Each position should have 3 to 4 bullet points. You can have more on your most recent position. In terms of word count... That's hard to determine. I would base it off of pages. If you have more than 5 years of work experience stick to a 2-page resume. No longer. Good luck!
Really loved your video... Keep up the good work my dear 😘😘😘😘
Love your channel! ❤️
It’s awesome video and helping me to write the resume
官一中 hey, thanks for watching. So glad you enjoyed these resume writing tips. Good luck on your job search.
Thank you give me a advice, but now i want to improve my English writing skills and grammer.
my previous work experience is all light labor, therefor I don't have accompaniments from past work to add to a resume, but all I hear from the "exports" on how to make my resume shine is to highlight them!
Hi Becca, do you have any volunteer work or training you can add to your resume?

I went to college for business accounting and now I am an engineering project manager in the tech sector. To get to where I am today I picked up a wide range of skills and transferable skills but I always feel like in an effort to showcase my adaptability I end up oversharing. Do you have any advise?
Also, placement is an issue for me. I don't know what should go where, before or after what, and what to or not include.
Thank you for giving helpful 6 tips. My greatest challages are two : First, Profile writing and Second, how to set or Mention my skills based on my degree. For example Is it ok to write objective like this one , looking for a job as an Electrician based on my Diploma in Computer Engineering Technology(2003) by formulating leadership execution and to set Profile
# Managed Computer Hardware Assenling.
# Handle 38 Electronic components working and testing such as Transistor, MOSFET, Diode, Capacitor so on.
Thanks for the tips!

i have trouble putting something on the resume. i dont know what to do to make it better but ill see if this template will help me since its very specific and detailed
malaika khan, the template will definitely help. Keep me posted with questions. Good luck! You’ll do great. 👍
Super helpful tips. I really liked the tip you shared about using a branding profile. I'v always had an objective statement. Maybe that's what's been wrong. Thank you.
Hi there! Yes, an objective statement is old and outdated. Use a branding profile in it's place. It will help you show a company what you can do for them, rather than what you want.
Really enjoying your channel, and videos.
hillbillywine101 hi! Thanks for the feedback. Are you currently in the process of writing a resume?
