How to Write the Perfect Resume Career Profile

[@andylacivita]

Welcome folks! I hope you enjoy this week's video on resume writing and, specifically, the CAREER PROFILE! Let me know what you think and what you need. And, of course, make sure to SUBSCRIBE for weekly videos and Live Office Hours on Thursdays!

[@sophiavogel5998]

Andrew, thank you so much for this video. Would you be able to make a video on follow up etiquette after youve sent a thank you letter after second round interview? Is there a hack to be able to reaffirm your fit to the recruiter without coming off as a stalker?

[@andylacivita]

@@sophiavogel5998 I'd follow the same protocols I mentioned. You should be communicating diligently throughout!

[@estelagless8195]

Hello Andy! How about career changers? The achivements in my previous field are not relevant now to the industry I want to enter.

[@mralvarez2429]

Hi Andrew, thanks for the video. How would you rephrase your career profile if you were switching careers? All of my experience is in customer service and sales but I want to become a web designer.

[@Winddemonslayer]

I appreciate you for making this video it was very helpful, but I don't have that much job experience. Will you please help me with my resume?

[@gabrielaandrade3610]

I had been praying a lot for a job, and one day I landed on your video, even though I'm Spanish speaker I translated everything you said and the template to Spanish and it worked amazingly. I sent this resume to a very important NGO and I was chosen today in less than a week. I had been applying for jobs there for a year and haven't had even an interview and now I have the job I have always wanted. I can't thank you and God enough because it is a miracle.

[@andylacivita]

Gabriela!! Yeah!!! Thank YOU for sharing this with and I’m sooooo happy for you. Huge congratulations 🎈🍾🎉🎊 and lots of luck in the new job!

[@mayte8018]

Which template did you use?

[@louisvarre2197]

I’ve been actively employed for almost 20 years and have created a lot of resumes. With the opportunities that have opened up to me since following your advice I’d marry you!!! I can’t believe how wrong my resumes have been. Just because you have experience doesn’t necessarily mean you get hired. Thank you Andy!!

[@andylacivita]

Love this Louis! Thanks for the kind words my friend!!!

[@AndrewPalios]

This landed me the perfect job after being unemployed for 6 months in 2018. This WORKS!

[@andylacivita]

Love to hear this Andrew!! 🙌👊

[@sannajohanna5579]

Congratulations!

[@mikepawlikguitar]

John's definitely keyword stuffing and doesn't give any indication of who he is, or what he can do. It just says a bunch of words with bullet points. Jane, on the other hand, gets to the point - she says what she does, where she did it, and how successful she was at doing it. Love it. Super helpful Andrew, as always.

[@p49N]

❤ I get misty eyed at the early videos. The early days lighting, seeing the trees swaying in the wind, its very soothing.

[@andylacivita]

Love it!

[@jhallio1]

Andy - I have come across your videos just over the past week or 2 - And I am hooked on your stuff! I have found your tips just in time as I'm going through a dark place of job hunting and feeling totally beat down as a single mom! You have helped me understand how I've been doing so many things wrong and wasting so much of my time by not focusing on the right things to help me be successful - Thank you for teaching me that! One of the professional "skills" I lack is summarizing/condensing information efficiently - This is such a key skill in any role that I need to work on and I admit it! Your videos have helped me to do just that. My Career Profile section went from 8 sentences (with lots of commas listing "character traits" among other irrelevant information) to now just 4-5 sentences - including 2 significant achievements. It looks so much better already. Now onto revamping the rest of my resume using your tips! Thank you so much for this video!

[@StevenSeiller]

👌 Perfectly said goal of resume: ~15:00 "How fast can I get somebody to say yes," to need to talk to me?

[@andylacivita]

Steven, that's the GOAL!!!! He shoots! He scores!!!

@@Light-oz5pv Agreed.

[@mattmatthew7965]

Update !! I spent days watching your videos, I have never wrote a resume but I invested over 20 hrs in it Put it this way I was laid off Monday yesterday had a job interview I took your advice on never telling an employer what you want to make and he offered me $7.00 more then I was going to say I needed Thank you so much !!!

[@andylacivita]

Matt Matthew love it! Congratulations!🎉🎈🍾🎊

[@billg5710]

What if they ask you what salary range you expect to make?

[@juanitaaustin4092]

I love the fact that you are not extra you’ll get to the point is refreshing because of the tone of your voice the word you use I really really enjoy your input on how to get a better job with a different skills set you are offering and the different insight. My goal is to get a better job and a reason why I want to a better job is because I am 55 years old and I hadn’t worked in 10 years so I know that is my biggest obstacle is preparing to say something to get me over the 10 year that I had worked so I am hoping that you can give me that kind of insight to accomplish that I went back to college and received a administration assistant degree but I have no experience outside of school. That’s the kind of field. I want to work in. Thank you.

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

I DID IT!!! I finally managed to compose a profile on my resume. I can't thank you enough for setting my wheels in motion in my head. wow.

[@andylacivita]

I’m all about helping you get the wheels moving but you are the one who keeps them going!!! Yeah!!

[@selenazaiter3840]

Huge thanks to you👏👍🏻 I’ve been applying to many jobs on Linkedin but haven’t heard back from any company. I followed your tips and the free resume format you supported and made a totally different cv, then applied to a vacancy that I’m really interested in and I got a notification few hours later that my resume was seen and downloaded by the recruiter😍. I was really amazed and felt my best after that. I hope I’ll get an interview soon. Thank you again!

[@andylacivita]

You’re so welcome!

[@unbreakable4650]

[@arilu1428]

I am mind blown with all the info your giving out. I’ve worked for 7 years and this will be my first time I’ll be sending out my resume, it feels kind of intimidating tbh so thankful for all your help!

You’re welcome Ari!

[@arizonanative7409]

A lot of the advice on resume writing comes from people who are in the business of writing resumes. I now see that recruiters view resumes very differently. Excellent, as always Andy!

[@andylacivita]

Appreciate those kind words Arizona. We like to keep it real for you!! 👊👊👊

[@dellawarren6239]

I like Jane Doe. This has blessed me I went back and changed my resume. Its like adding salt to a meal.

[@andylacivita]

Good to hear it!!

[@byeteaching]

This video hits the nail on the head! I wish I had watched this when I was transitioning from teaching. It's easy to make these mistakes, but being aware of them can save a lot of time and frustration. Well done!

[@andylacivita]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bradynelson1955]

Harvard Business Review did an article confirming the same resume setup as Andrew based on research. Love your content, it has been very helpful in my job search.

Nice to hear Brady. Those Harvard petiole are smart. 😝

[@Carolina.Martin-del-Campo]

Thank you Andrew!! I've been struggling a LOT with my resume over the years. I've asked my dad and everyone I can think of for help, because even though they say: "Oh, you have a lot of knowledge and great attitude", welp something happens that I just don't get hired in the jobs that I want!! So, I'm going to revamp my resume (again) with your new tips, and I'm sure, people will notice!! See you soon!!

[@andylacivita]

Looking forward to it Carola!!!

[@kellee4395]

I watched a few of your videos about making and revamping my resume. Took me a couple of days but it was worth it. Applied for the job a week ago and I have a interview Friday wish me luck even tho I feel like I have it in the bag. Thank you so much!

[@andylacivita]

You’re welcome and lots of luck!

[@occurrasul]

Iam deeply humbled by your technical guidance, I little bit messed up with the content of my cover letter and resume, am pretty equipped now to write a better version. Thank you so much.

[@ylarrick]

Hi Andrew. I'm applying for senior executive positions this month and after watching your videos I now that I'll be more then ready to get the job. Thanks a lot for all your work in here for us. Best regards, André

[@andylacivita]

Andre! Glad I could be here for you and lots of luck with the applications!

[@jnzk6467]

And you’re giving all of this information for free? Thank you so much.

[@andylacivita]

I sure do!

[@sannajohanna5579]

Thank you so much! I wonder that I have ever got a job, I have done many things wrong in my resumees. Usually, I have got te job I have really wanted. Let's see now. They deserve to read a wee-made resumee.

Wonderful! Glad this helped!

[@sinchana9358]

Is this is can be used for freshers in campus placements (because here we won't send the resume for interviewers before we will give that at a time when we enter to talk with him) plzz tell me

[@ericphilipmartin1964]

Andrew, with all the resources I've visited online as well as two books (that are more than 10 years old) on tips on resume writing, your two KZbin videos that I've watched are by far the best I've seen. Thank you for all the advice you've given me. Hopefully, I'll be able to gain some employment during this coronavirus crisis where employers are laying off and the labor market is highly competitive with 16 million job seekers.

[@andylacivita]

Appreciate this Eric!!!

[@epiccoconut5995]

I am no hiring manager, but i would interview Jane over John for sure. I will apply all the tips you've got to offer and give you feedback. I've always cringed when it was time to update my resume but now, im looking forward to it! Thank You Ps: i can see how a well written eyecatching resume can make the interview process a breeze and pow one's worth. You are talented sir...

[@mscoco8959]

How do you do a resume that looks good when you have no job experience, just graduated last year from high school, and don't even know what skills you have? Writing a resume is rather difficult when you have to sit there and think very hard about what you can do especially when it probably won't help on a resume.

[@rimrodi7]

Yeah I find it so hard aswell

[@UrbanSipfly]

What did you do in school? Be sure to include those activities in your resume'.

Should I specify this on my resume in the top half of page one or is this an implied statement based on my resume content? 2) I received an internal promotion at my last place of employment. Is there a preferred format to display this on my resume? Thank you again and Happy Holidays!

[@urooja8269]

Hi Andrew! If you are a recent college graduate with less than 1 year of professional experience, is it still a good idea to write in the Career Profile how many years you have worked? I was thinking to say something like "2 years of experience in.." to include an internship and part-time job I had in college, and my current full-time position. How can you give an overview of your entire career in the Career Profile when your career has just started?

[@zhishengsun6914]

I like the structure of Johns resume. It has a sense of order and structure which also tells you something about John. Janes resume is a little bit more like wordsoup ('woordenbrei' in Dutch), allthough it has much better content. Would love too see a bit more structure with Jane. Maybe easier to skim also? Anyway, great content Andrew and THANK YOU so much for sharing!

[@andylacivita]

You’re welcome. Remember, recruiters are trained to find what they need, not necessarily what you put in the resume. If you wrote your resume backwards, I could find what I need quickly. Lololol.

Bonjour Andrew , firstly , thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us 🙏🏼 Allow me to ask you two questions ; * About experience ; what is more preferable ; a small paragraphe (general mission) or lines (tasks) ? * About picture ; in french resume we put cv , what about the english one ? i want to apologize for my english and thank you again

[@andylacivita]

On 1. Accomplishments are best. You can use a paragraph or bullet for those. On 2. In a number of European countries they like the picture on the resume. In the US, leave it off. Hope this helps!

[@JohnVianneyPatron]

So correct me if I'm wrong: The profile has got to do with the applicant and not the position being applied for. So there's no need to incorporate keywords etc?

I worked for 18 years at a company for public transportation in NY. I relocated and have been working on something completely different for 7 years. Now I found out a job opening in Transportation. Was wondering if in the resume I should list that job of 18 years first, instead of my present job? After all, that is what they are looking for. what is the advice?

[@andylacivita]

List your jobs in order with most recent at top. Spend more time on your career profile and highlights showing the experience from the 18 year job!

Can you go over how to write a professional summary when your applying for a position that you don't have experience in? I changed careers last year and have gone into a totally new direction and have taken training programs but don't have the direct employment experience. How would I approach that? Thanks ~

i love how you pull out notecards like a magician! Thank you for your help! I have a question and would appreciate your opinion. I operate a small business that focuses on web design, sales, video production, and social media. I'm focusing on applying to jobs and I was wondering if I should build separate resumes for the different skill sets I have? I'm not sure if all my skills are relevant to the different jobs I'll be applying too. Thank you! :)

[@andylacivita]

Daniel, thanks for the kind words. Make one resume. Put all that together. All that stuff is wonderful to have in one person! You never know how an employer might be interested in tapping your array of skills.

Hi Andy Thanks alot for all the efforts in your all great videos. I have a real issue everytime I started to rewrite my resume, hope you can help me with that by tips or suggestions. I used to work in retail, perfumes industry as a retail Manager, then for some reason I quit for 4 years trying to do my own business, unfortunately it didnt work well, do now am trying to get back to original career, but just dont know what to mention in my resume !? As you might know companies dont like gaps :( and they get that feeling that you ate not updated or not ready to work again in the same qualification! Thanks in advance
