@@ITProjectManagers hello amazing video with straight up hard advice My CV is a typical colored coulumn on the left with photo, contact, technical skills, personal skills On the right I have brief summary, experiences and finally education Should switch to the format of a very black and white, no photo??

[@ITProjectManagers]

Yes, I don’t recommend using two columns and coloured CV. Keep in mind that you need to write for both human and AI that might have hard time parsing your CV. For the same reason, I switched back to simple word document.

[@ДенисКириллов-ы3щ]

Thank you! Nice video and good explanation!

[@ITProjectManagers]

Glad it was helpful, Kiril! Glad to see you back:)

[@andriimostika1927]

I do not have my own company , but I already want to hire you as а Project manager after this video. You sold it to me

[@ITProjectManagers]

LOL:) it’s time to start one.

[@codeoperator2587]

Does it make sense to list a previous experience before your present one, if it is more relevant to the role you're applying for, or should experience always list sequentially. Thanks for all the good videos. Very helpful.

[@ITProjectManagers]

Good question. You should always list sequentially and put the most recent experience at the top. The only reason is reduce possible confusion. If recruiters have to decipher you CV they’ll skip it in favour of a more clear and easy to read one. With that said, you still want to highlight something relevant for a PM role in your Previous Unrelated Experience, not what is expected for that other role.

[@АлексейГулай-з9я]

beautiful! well done! Tell me a little about yourself. Are you a PM now and have your own course? it will be very interesting to listen about. гарно! молодець! розкажи трохи про себе. ти PM зараз і курс свій маєш? буде дуже цікаво послухати

[@ITProjectManagers]

Привіт, Дякую за комент. Так, я досі працюю ПМом в IT стартапе. У мене є книга: pmbasics101.com/practical-project-management-book/ І є також курс: itprojectmanager.podia.com/practical-project-management В них я ділюсь практичним досвідом ведення проектів в реальному світі IT.

[@kawaiikaikee]

does this apply to someone who hasn't held a job as a project manager?

[@ITProjectManagers]

Yes, Veronika, it does. Otherwise, you CV will contain lots of information that has nothing to do with project management. Recruiters will not analyze it. You want to show your organizational and leadership skills explicitly. Recruiters should not dig through your exeprience and guess that you might have some management talents.

[@Angelcake1371]

What if I don’t have project management experience but are trying to get into project management? I have a degree in communication and my work experience is a lot of customer service,retail, food industry and independent contracts gigs(DoorDash, Uber and etc). But now that I have a degree I want a more professional career. How do I make that change? Please I need your help.

[@ITProjectManagers]

Hi Jasmine, in this case, you still need to review your experience and find examples of when you used leadership and organizational skills. For an entry-level PM role any leadership experience will work.

[@Angelcake1371]

@@ITProjectManagers Thank you! If I did party events and baby sitting… would that be under work experience or should I put that under volunteer or what?

Good examples, thank you!

[@ITProjectManagers]

You are welcome, Sergey.

[@LivingOrganismFromMarsAndVenus]

What if I worked for 6 or 8 companies and I can't fit it in 2 pages? I have 3 pages.🤔

[@ITProjectManagers]

Recruiters are interested in the most recent experience usually. So, ideally, you need to keep achievements for the latest 2-3 companies. For the rest of the, you simply mention that you worked in those companies as one line (Company Name - Your Title - Number of Years You Worked There). No achievement in there at all. Or if you want to highlight something super important from one of those earlier jobs - just do it. It’s up to you to decide what to describe in details. But do avoid gaps in your career unless you have a strong reason.
