[@l_Darkwulf_l]

Hey Jeff, really love your work and have been following and keeping my update with all your videos since your resumé video. Even though I corporated all these tips point to point I have found myself in situations where I was not selected for the job because a guy with 5-10 years of experience than me has applied to the fresher job and the company takes them in because its a “High Value” candidate for a freshers package. Even though I strongly believe a plain resume and cover letter format limited to one page must be a standard, However here in the Middle east, the candidates purely get selected based on their experience years. I have seen horrible resumes of people who get recruited. Most lack even the basic communication skills. Their resumes have 1. All their personal data in the end of resume, they even include father names, wife name, dob, and a picture which takes about 25% of the page. 2. Their resume is always more than 2 pages not because they include too much information it’s because poor formatting and lots of blank spaces. 3. Its always the same summary or objective. Lots of jargon, buzz words and repetitive words. 4. Poor punctuation and layout. When I see these resumes get recruited vs my resume in which I made sure to follow every right procedure just because I am a “fresher” applying for a “fresher” job vs a 5-10 year experienced guy. It is really disheartening and not much confidence inspiring. What would your opinion be on these issues?

[@shekinah4651]

Very very interesting advice. I do have a question about quantifying impact though. I have no real experience and have only been able to carry out “virtual simulations” which is sort of like a virtual work experience course. There are no real people to give feedback on these courses so I can’t seem to find a way to quantify any of my impact. I also dont really know if I made much of an impact since most of what I did was learn new information. Is this type of work quantifiable at all?

Given that the normal practice is not to use Cover Letters, and interviewees are picked from the metrics you mentioned. I wonder if it would be advantageous to include a cover letter? because no one else is doing it, and maybe the hiring manager gets curious and opens it you could have an awesome advantage over the competition. If it were me in portugal I would definitely try it.

@@JoseRap The cover letter could also be the email you send with your CV attached. That's how I send my 'cover letters'. I find that if I attached a pdf version, it doesn't get opened. But if it's an email with my CV attached, the first paragraph hook, helps.

[@marloelefant7500]

You say, if you can replace the company name with a competitor's name, and the first paragraph still makes sense, it's not a good paragraph. Yet, that's actually the case for the first paragraph in the cover letter of Amanda. So, this is not a good example?
