These are great tips and even better coming from a recruiter. As someone who deals with the hiring process at my workplace as well, these are spot on. Relevance and consistency is key!

[@AddieDwyer]

Thank you for the tips! I struggle with this sometimes and love hearing tips from people who actually read resumes

[@nicolenyasha]

You're welcome Addie thanks a lot for watching🙂

[@FeliciaBeee]

Can't thank you enough for those areas you have discussed in details. These tips were really helpful, I am feeling confident now before preparing my CV

[@nicolenyasha]

You're welcome! Good luck😊

[@JayMaverick]

It's funny how professional recruiters give practical advice that makes sense - and is completely contrary to what most "resume writing experts" say.

[@stacyisnspireddantzler9704]

[@nicolenyasha]

Thank you so much

[@GoSmartGirlResumes]

I'm a job classification analyst and compensation analyst by day and a résumé writer by night. I love these tips, especially the one about skills! It's exactly what I tell people constantly. If the job description doesn't "ring any bells" or feel familiar, go look for one that does. That one will be a better bet. Thanks for posting this!

[@nicolenyasha]

Thank you 🙂

[@monserratmanagement8616]

This was SUPER helpful! This is an area of weakness for me, but this was insightful and helpful! Thank you for sharing!!

[@ahilaashraf2657]

Thank u soo much mam...ur help is appreciative....

[@darestraits]

It’s funny how every JD actually lists all the “obvious skills” in the qualification section you mentioned: team worker, detail-oriented, etc. Really appreciate the tips though!

[@PerfectMachForever]

Wow. This is such a great video. Your channel is amazing. We just subscribed. 💛

[@nicolenyasha]

Thank you💘

[@flywithpriv]

Thanks for the great tips I realized I do some of the mistakes you mentioned but thanks to you never again 💞💞💞

[@nicolenyasha]

So glad it did!

Glad I could help!

[@sciencegirl2012]

This video was very helpful! Great information!

[@nicolenyasha]

Thank you! Glad you could relate 😊

[@neoneo3067]

What if you're someone who doesn't necessarily provide value? I show up to work on time. I do what's asked of me. I go home. How do I even provide value in say.. a data entry position? I type accurately. I get done quickly. I work hard. I learn quickly. Those things matter and transfer, but don't matter. What I bring is me - someone easygoing who works to live, not lives to work. Should I just give up now? What do I do? I'm qualified for the jobs I apply for, follow the resume advice (besides the providing value, because I can't think of how I do), write killer cover letters... And still don't get interviews. What do I do?

[@craigcox5241]

Reframe what you've just said and done with outcomes. You have great data entry skills, what has that helped your company achieve? What insights have the business gained from your contribution? Might seem weird or silly to try and suggest 'you' are the value but if you've enhanced reliability of data, increased outputs/quantity of entries or streamlined/improved any process at work... that's adding value! Highlight these in your resume. As the video says dont over think value. Employers are just looking for examples that you're prepared to apply your knowledge and skills and not just do the minimum ask.

[@Jimothy-723]

@@craigcox5241 you realize that providing specific outcomes often constitutes economic espionage, right? for example: i cannot tell you any sales figures, employment records, inventories, or processes used at any of my jobs because i signed NDAs.

[@Jimothy-723]

also, asking for previous wages is ilegal in my state.

[@natashadongo]

On that relevant skills tip, so on point. Fluff ain't gonna cut it

[@nicolenyasha]

Nah fluff will not!

[@niki1736]

Very helpful thanks 👍🏽

[@Ikejiaku]

Great video, great info; nice!

[@nicolenyasha]

Thank you for watching!

[@chrismiller-vp4jc]

Thumbs up for the practical advice in this video, thank you Nicole. You may have noticed, but in case not: there's a minor typo in one of your graphics at the 11:52 mark. The word "Concise" is misspelled. It did not distract at all from the good information

[@bukolaorry]

There's a lot of work to put into a resume/curriculum. I had to write mine with my ex tutor. You make so much sense sis.

[@nicolenyasha]

Thank you my dear

[@k.simmons862]

This was perfect

[@duncankelman]

Very good advice, thank you!

[@nicolenyasha]

You are welcome 😊

[@phumudzon1853]

Hi, can you please make a video about how to draw up a resume or what the resume should entail for someone who is working for the first time in their life

[@cindyzielinski1127]

Thank you for making this video, it really helps. How many years of work history do you have to go back to. I am 63 and worked for myself for the last 26 years. I have worked since 1974. Looking for a new office job but I don't know how far back I should go.

[@firstcargodeparture4417]

Good tips. Thank you

[@nicolenyasha]

You're welcome🙂

[@firstcargodeparture4417]

How can i get my Resume across to you for a review? Thanks

[@kharahbah3287]

Thanks for sharing

[@nicolenyasha]

You're welcome!

[@silverpenn3809]

Nice advice girl, thanks 🙏👍

[@nicolenyasha]

You’re welcome 😊

[@GreenBanana675]

Perfect

[@cydnicolquitt3429]

I find it daunting in this day of technology what a person has to do on there resume to try and get it looked at. I never had this issue before and always did my own resume and got hired. This is the first time, I am being challenged. I don't have the extra money right now to pay someone $150-200, to do my resume. I paid an on line service where you can choose from different templates and put in information and it will design the resume for you. A resume service just critiqued it and it's still has flaws and needs to be done over. 😩

[@nicolenyasha]

Try this, after applying search for the company's recruiters on LinkedIn and message them expressing your interest then send your resume to them. That way you will have a human at least look at your resume

[@chelseag3365]

This was awesome. Thank you! It helps a lot that you talked about roles that are less metric driven. I've been frustrated with not being able to genuinely quantify impact. Some people put things like 'Did xyz which improved productivity by 200%' - How in the world did they come up with that number, and how is the metric of 'productivity' being measured? I've seen many examples of this type of metric and they all seem arbitrary and misleading because in many cases they could not possibly have the data points to come up with the 200% number.

[@nicolenyasha]

Glad you found it useful. It's definitely not always about numbers!!

[@sunshinecycling]

Nicole, thanks for the info. FYI, if you put a colon mark instead of a period in your time stamps, they will become clickable for people to quickly access those sections.

[@nicolenyasha]

Thank you! I updated it 😊

[@aga8254]

😩 I am so guilty of the skill set section lol - I am so proud of my punctuality and multi tasking ability - this was definitely very educative and it’s gonna stick if I do need to switch jobs in the near future

[@nicolenyasha]

You could somehow include them if worded differently but I defn wouldnt include punctuality cos everyone needs to be punctual🙂

[@oyetim1506]

On point madam

[@nicolenyasha]

Thank you 😊

[@ochuutv7195]

Fine ghen....nice one

[@Elidicious]

Hello, I was watching your YT video on Resume tips and I'm trying to upload my own resume on the website link you provided for Resume Critique Request. I'm facing issues with the upload process from Drive/Computer. is there any other alternative to send you my resume? thank you very much for your tips!

[@vmakey17]

what to put on a resume when you work with a staffing agency?

[@stacyisnspireddantzler9704]

Seems like Recruiting sites are just gathering resumes. People say, there are more positions than people, but people are applying by submitting 50-60 tailored resumes and “no result” for the ones who really do have the education and skillset. It’s almost like you have to know someone “at every submission”. It’s not like that extra skill can’t be learned on the job. That company trains you anyway, so what’s the problem.I plan to get into recruiting to get more people working than them just applying and getting no where.

[@BasilARBYIG]

Not all jobs show numbers, values and metrics.

[@Blakpepa]

I actually decided to make a brief resume just noting general job description and why I am no longer in the role and my skills because my full resume is 4 pages! My resume looks a bit job hoppish but every company I worked for has closed down or downsized - how do I clearly articulate this without judgement? It's all verifiable

[@freeinghumanitynow]

The skills are more important than whether or not the company is still in operation. That said, if you have a heart for serving others, consider working in the public sector as a public servant. It can be very rewarding work, the opportunity for constant promotion is plentiful and the amount of skills and experience you build is amazing.

[@sikholiwedube5543]

Great info Nicole. Question for you. If you run a company but are open to work, should you include your role and description as a founder or director on the resume or is it all dependent on the role you are applying for?

[@nicolenyasha]

Thank you. I'd opt for the title related to the desired job vs owner this is a tricky one to answer because it depends on what kind of position you're looking for. Ultimately, you want to showcase the tasks/skills/accomplishments that are relevant to the desired role. I personally use what I actually do eg content creator/ career strategist vs owner/founder.

[@chacmool2581]

Question. During a job interview do I want to avoid gesticulating and talking with my hands as much as this gal?

[@nanaoboyraikhan3940]

I'm looking for a job, it's really hard to get one.

[@cydnicolquitt3429]

Do you think video interviews can have a negative impact on the person interviewing. As a professional with 20 years in the work force and switching careers, I recently did a video interview. Never heard back! I am a woman, a minority and mature. Why do I feel this video hurt my chances before I could sell myself at a in person interview?

[@nadinewalker9375]

I’ve heard you should not be including your address on your resume, is this true.

[@nadinewalker9375]

I heard the answer to my question.

[@laurieortman3877]

Do you know of a good template that can help me do a customized and tailored resume?😳

[@user-gb1bo7zs4o]

Thank you so much for such informative video, it’s improved my CV a lot. The way how are you explaining and your skills it’s very helpful. Appreciate 🤝

[@emphone66]

Do u write resumes?

[@masquadwhite4421]

Show us an example resume of what you are talking about!

[@hardeepsingh8362]

Ma'am, I can share my resume with you.

[@JimbobVlogs]

step 1: already have a career

[@burtbakerack1110]

Christ, I’ll never get a new job.

[@HeyyyHR]

You’ve got this! It’s overwhelming but not impossible!!

[@feliciahines8074]

Fast forward to 5:04 where she actually gets to the point. Since she's a recruiter, does she want to read a resume or cover letter where the whole first portion of it is filled with fluff before the applicant actually gets to the point? Probably not. She should do the same in here videos. And I don't feel like she really shares any mind-blowing information here. I'd say the majority, if not all, of what she is sharing is common sense if you're applying to a job. And why does she talk with her hands the whole time?

[@nicolenyasha]

Thanks for watching Felicia, I appreciate your feedback 🙂

[@sunnysealz3546]

@feliciahines so u watched the FULL video and wrote a STORY abt it being irrelevant??? Get a JOB….she can help you😉

[@Jimothy-723]

looking at a resume for 5 seconds should be considered a serious crime. thats the only way your going to get the recruiters to pull their head out of their a$$

[@octaviapiper6088]

I am soooo tired of tips and tricks smh

[@nicolenyasha]

What has been the challenge?

[@vilmasantos2072]
