Great videos and energy Greg. Question, which "important" items specifically should we be bolding? I have a sub-section called Achievements below each of my work experiences. Should those be bolded? Or should some of the job responsibilities be bolded? Or both?
Great question, Brian! If you're already isolating your accomplishments in a key achievements section like that, I would say you've drawn enough attention to them and bolding might be overkill.
When applying for the federal government, A computer does a keyboard search. There are too many words and acronyms to put on a regular resume. Is it possible to do the first page with the nice format like you have, then a second page more intended for the computerized keyword search?
Resumes are typically 2 pages, unless otherwise specified by an employer. I usually recommend not exceeding anything past 20 years in experience. There's no cap on how many experiences you include, just be aware of the years :)
I just started looking into ways to optimize my resume. The tips here seem practical, might check out some AI options like resubot for assistance.
These examples are super helpful. I wish I had seen this before I sent out my last batch of applications.
I’ve been using a few resume templates, but none seem to work as well as I’d hope. This video gave me some good ideas to try.
I would love for you to look at my resume! I just paid for your Resume 8!! I LOVE IT!! THANK YOU!
Great tips in this video. I always struggle with making my resume stand out. Definitely going to try the three-step process mentioned.
Greg - I really like your content! And from a fellow Canadian nonetheless! 😊

I'm not a recruiter, but suggestion 1 is always a must not in multiple books, also you advertise a 2 column resume, isn't it a must not as well?
Should resumes be 2 pages or just 1? How many work experiences should I put on there. 3? 5?

@ is there an email I can send you my resume and you can critique it and let me know what changed might be better?
Your links don't work
Hey there! Oh no! Thanks so much for letting me know! I just updated them all and they should be working now :)
