I like this one this I don't want to
read this what kind of font is this this
stuff is just garbage so many of you out
there may be looking for a job or
changing jobs and you need to write a
resume but you might have been out of
the game for a while or you just don't
know how to do one well I'm going to
give you seven tips that you need to
know so check it out
hello and welcome to hindsight 101 or
you're learning about things that will
help you in everyday life now I'm going
to tell you the 7 tips that you need to
know in writing a good resume
the first one is readability you better
please two people first the machine
that's scanning it and the person that's
actually looking at it and what I mean
about a machine scanning it you want to
make it readable you don't want to use
any crazy fonts or any quirky style you
want to keep it very basic and easy to
read so what you want to do is outline
kind of how you want it to go you want
to bold your titles your name make the
bear font a little bit bigger than the
rest so the scanner can decipher what
would it need to look at but then on the
other hand you want to make it readable
for a person and that person may only
have a few seconds - only a few minutes
look at your resume so you need to wow
them very quickly if you want to put the
important stuff that you need to sell
yourself on at the beginning you want to
make it with readable thoughts not too
small not too big not crazy like comics
and number two what you want to do is
update your resume what I mean by that
is updated often so know don't update it
when you're applying for a job that
could be 20 years that could be five
years you never know you want to update
it
once a year because you never know
what's going to happen you never know
what opportunity is going to come or you
never know what pitfalls are going to
face you with downsizing layoffs
anything so you always want to be
prepared and you always want to have
your resume up to date and ready so
you're not scrambling or wondering how
do I need to write this it's been so
long I don't know what to do be prepared
number three you're going to want to
write down your accomplishments not your
duties no one wants to know that you
know I scheduled I kept the books I did
that people want to know I ran a two
billion dollar company
I'm edge thirty people I save the
company a hundred thousand dollars tell
your future employer about your
accomplishments not about your job
duties no one cares about that they want
to know how you're going to be a win for
their company number four make sure you
get a copy of the job description and
take out key words what you want to do
is take some of those key words and put
them into your resume that will really
impress an employer and that'll give
them the chance to relate what you do to
what they want you to do so it kind of
gives them a visual of how can I picture
this person at our company so keep that
in mind
pick up key words whatever it is try to
take out key words that they're looking
for say there's certain skill sets or
different things that you need take
those out if you have them or you've
done them and put them into your resume
that'll make you stand out from the rest
of the people who probably didn't do it
now number five just keep it simple
I like to say go back to basics so I've
mentioned it before use basic phones
don't do anything too crazy or fancy I
know you may want to be creative and
there's other ways you can be creative
you still have to make it readable for
someone to want to look at it my biggest
pet peeve of resumes that I've seen come
through my desk were emails now hot
girls sexy 99 may be great for you when
you email your friends but a for a
future employer get rid of it you can go
to any site Yahoo Gmail Microsoft they
all give out free email
so it's not going to cost you anything
and get something simple you could
either do if your name is Bob Smith B
Smith Smith B just do something simple
so if someone wants to email you it's
easily remembered and it correlates with
your resume because it's part of your
name you want to take out the technical
jargon no one's going to understand
except for the people that you worked
with you might have to change your title
from something crazy that you had was
project superstar which no one knows
what that means
but in actuality you are project manager
so put that down but make sure whatever
general title you use closely relates to
what you're doing number six I can't say
this enough check for errors double
check run it through your spell checker
send it to a friend actually send it to
a couple of friends read it put it down
come back to an hour later you'll never
know how many errors that you whiz past
because you know your resume and you
skip past certain words because you
assume they're correct when they're not
it happened to everyone so always have a
second pair of eyes to look at it
because sometimes spell checker doesn't
always catch a word if it's spelled
right but it just me maybe the totally
wrong word so always have friends
families also we have a communications
department at my job so a lot of times I
may have a friend or coworker take a
look at it you can hire somebody there's
tons of people English majors anybody
that will take a look at your resume a
future employer will think if you can't
pay attention to detail for something as
simple as a resume I'm not going to give
you a job here managing people
or handling billions of dollars lastly
number seven this one's kind of a
special one to me always make sure your
resume is on hand you never know when an
opportunity is going to strike a lot of
you carry a cellphone you can save it to
your cell phone so you can easily email
it to someone if you need to I like to
keep it in Dropbox because I can email
it or if I desktop I can email it from
there I can edit it on my phone I can
edit on the desktop so I'm a big fan of
saving an updated copy of my resume and
outbox and you never know someone says
shoot me your resume I just send it to
them
so and then I don't have to remember
later oh I have to send some of my
resume or oh like I said if you keep it
updated you can just shoot it off on
hand and not send someone a couple days
later because you need to review it
check some facts have somebody look over
it you already have it ready people will
be impressed that you took a little time
beforehand and you got it to them
